Our contract analysis service for barrel polishing has won the “Director of Nagoya Municipal Industrial Research Institute Award” at the Nagoya Industrial Technology Grand Prix 2025, hosted by the Nagoya Industrial Promotion Corporation.

The Nagoya Industrial Technology Grand Prix honors innovative technologies and new products developed by small and medium-sized enterprises in Nagoya and the surrounding region.

The award ceremony will be held on February 20, 2025, at the Nagoya Municipal Industrial Research Institute.

Our barrel polishing contract analysis service uses a proprietary simulation system developed in-house to analyze the polishing process in detail.
By accurately simulating the behavior of workpieces and media, the service enables customers to optimize processing conditions, improve product quality, and reduce trial-and-error costs.

An article by Osaka Municipal University lecturer Masuda Hayato, entitled “Learning from the past: Taylor vortex flow,” was published in the December 2024 issue of Chemical Engineering.

Lecturer Masuda is an advisor to the Go-Tech program, which supports advanced research and development through industry-academia collaboration by the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry, and Tipton has been selected for this year’s program on the topic of “Research and development of continuous crystallization mass production technology using Taylor vortex nanoreactors.”

The article describes the journey from the discovery of Taylor vortexes about 100 years ago to applied research in chemical processes, including continuous reactive crystallization.
