4th Joint Research Results Presentation

On Friday, June 2, 2023, the 4th Joint Research Results was held at Tipton’s headquarters.

This year the following themes were discussed:

・Professor Kato from Juju Patent Law Firm lectured on “Tips for Utilizing Patents in Daily Work”

・Kobe University: Lecture on TVF

・Kanazawa University: Lecture on barrel polishing

・Employee announcements: 2

By continuing to strengthen industry-academia collaboration, we will further strengthen Tipton’s technological foundation.

Patent registered for TVF’s gas-liquid-slug flow

This is an invention of an effective gas-liquid slug flow for mixing and homogenization and uniformity of particle size by Taylor Vortex Flow Nano-Reactor. This is a joint study with Kobe University National University Corporation “Method of controlling fluid and Taylor Vortex Flow Reactor” (Patent No. 7213513).

Research results on gas-liquid-slug flow were published in the international journal “Chemical Engineering and Processing – Process Intensification.”

Flow and mixing characteristics of gas-liquid slug flow in a continuous Taylor-Couette flow reactor with narrow gap width” was published in issue 183 of the journal. The paper was co-authored with Kobe University. (Author and co-authors: Kobe University’s Keigo Shimizu, Etsushi Komoda, Naoto Omura along with Tipton’s Kairi Kato & Tomoyuki Kobayashi)

Research results on a gyro-polisher were published in “International Journal of Automation Technology”.

“Finishing speed improvement using side cover plates in gyro finishing” was published in Issue 17 of the journal. Lead-time reduction was achieved by installing a restraining plate to improve the processing speed of the workpiece. This is a joint paper with Kanazawa University.

Publication of an Academic Article based on our TVF🄬 in the European “Chemical Engineering and Processing” Journal

“Flow and mixing characteristics of gas-liquid slug flow in a continuous Taylor-Couette flow reactor with narrow gap width” a joint paper with Kobe University’s Ohmura Laboratory has been peer-reviewed and published into a European journal. This article explores how we developed such high extrudability, with a distributed particle size 1000th that of its predecessors, through the combination of our high RPM, micro-capping TVF and Kobe Universities amalgamation optimization technology. We expect to see this technology to revolutionize processes utilized in the medical and fine-chemical industries.
