What can be done with Vacuum：Suction

Suction uses the atmospheric pressure generated when air is exhausted from the container. Suction can be used for two purposes: to draw in and move substances, and to extract substances from a certain volume of containers.

Suction is used for the following applications!

・Medical equipment.（ Instruments for sucking saliva during dental treatments, liposuction equipment）

・Compression for futons and clothing

・Toilets used in Shinkansen trains and vehicles for long-distance travel.

・Milking machines.

What can be done with Vacuum：Adsorption

Adsorption uses the pressure difference from atmospheric pressure caused by making space into the vacuum. Vacuum adsorption is also called chuck and is used to fix and transport goods.

Adsorption is used for the following applications!

・Transport of items that are fragile to impacts, such as packed eggs or glass plates.

・Machines that open a bag when packing sweets and snacks.

What can be done with Vacuum：Gas collecting

Hazardous substances such as carbon monoxide, hydrocarbons, and dioxins can be recovered using a vacuum pump.

Gas collecting is used for the following applications!

・Recovery of hazardous substances such as chlorofluorocarbons used in refrigerators and air conditioners and carbon monoxide contained in the exhaust gas of automobiles.

What can be done with Vacuum：Forming

When a sheet of thermoplastic resin, which is the material of a molded product, is heated and fitted into the mold, the air between the sheet and the mold is exhausted by a vacuum pump, and the product is molded by adhering the sheet to the mold.

Forming is used for the following applications!

・Egg packages.

・Containers for meats, fish, vegetables, prepared foods, sweets, and snacks.

・Plastic containers for pills.

What can be done with Vacuum：Liquid Filling

The inside of the airtight container is vacuumed to draw in the liquid by using the pressure difference between the inside and outside of the container.

Liquid filling is used for the following applications!

・Putting soy sauce in the soy sauce container for bento.

・Filling a container with a viscous liquid such as cosmetics.

What can be done with Vacuum：Gas Replacement

Neon tubes, which are used for illuminations in the city and lighting, contain neon gas, and gas replacement is used to fill this gas.

Gas replacement is used for the following applications!

・Refrigerant filling for air conditioners. Illuminations in the city.

・Neon tubes.

・Fluorescent lights.

What can be done with Vacuum：Oxidation Prevention

It is necessary to block what you don't want to oxidize from oxygen to prevent oxidation. When a sealed space is evacuated by using a vacuum pump, oxygen in the space is discharged to the outside to be removed. The oxygen is reduced in a vacuum state, which enables to inhibits changes of substances due to oxidation.

Oxidation prevention is used for the following applications!

・Food preservation (vacuum pack).

・Dried flowers.

・Pressed flowers.

・Metal processing.

・Clothing storage after cleaning (vacuum packaging).

What can be done with Vacuum：Freeze Vacuum Drying

It is a method to vacuum dry materials while they are frozen. The vacuum helps to remove moisture from the materials, removes the moisture from the material surfaces, and keeps the materials at a low temperature.

Freeze vacuum drying is used for the following applications!

・Instant coffees.

・Instant ramen noodles.

・Antibiotics.

・Blood preparation.

・Injection solutions such as vaccines.

What can be done with Vacuum：Vacuum Drying

It is a method to dry materials by lowering the pressure inside of the container without freezing them. The vacuum helps to remove moisture from the materials, removes the moisture from the material surfaces, and keeps the materials at a low temperature.

Vacuum drying is used for the following applications!

・Drying of seasonings, spices, vegetables, and fruits.

・Drying of electronic components and metal materials after cleaning.

・Gas charge for air conditioner.

What can be done with Vacuum：Distillation

Vacuum concentration is a method to increase the concentration of a solution by evaporating the moisture in the solution under vacuum. Generally, it is used in the treatment process before vacuum drying or freeze drying.

Distillation is used for the following applications!

・Food additives such as emulsifiers. (Used for bread, cakes, ice cream)

・Vitamins. (Health foods and medicines)

・Distilled alcohol. (white distilled liquor Shochu, whiskey)

・Polyamide resins. (Crimping tape, laminates)

・Lubricating oils. (metalworking oil, engine oil, vacuum pump oil)

What can be done with Vacuum：Concentration

Concentration is used for the following applications!

・Condensed milk and powdered milk.

・Blood separation in hospital laboratories.

・Production of vaccines.

・Used in genetic engineering and synthetic polymer chemistry.

What can be done with Vacuum：Degassing Defoaming

When an airtight container with materials in it is evacuated so that inside may be vacuum, the air in the materials expands and comes out in a forming shape. Vacuum degassing uses this principle. The air contained in the liquid causes rust in the metal and bubbles formed in the material reduces the value of the product, defoaming is used to remove the air.

Degassing and Defoaming is used for the following applications!

【Degassing】
・Electronic components and semiconductors.

【Defoaming】
・Adhesives, insulating materials, electronic materials, resin materials, pharmaceuticals (Ointments and dental materials), cosmetics (Lipsticks and cosmetic creams) cosmetics (Lipsticks and cosmetic creams), building materials (Sealing materials, glass, artificial stones), automobile parts(master models, sealing materials, resins, paints), elasticity(Noodles such as udon, ramen, and pasta), aerated chocolate.

What can be done with Vacuum：Vacuum Deposition

Deposition is a method to form a thin film by heating an individual substance under reduced pressure and evaporating it to form an individual film on the substrate substance.

Vacuum deposition is used for the following applications!

・Sunglass lenses.

・Coating of mirrors and headlights of automobiles.

・Quartz crystal resonator used for mobile phones.

・Canadian 50 dollar bills (prevention of counterfeit bills)

What can be done with Vacuum：Sputtering

Sputtering is one of the methods to form a thin film. When ions in plasmas which is produced by emitting electricity collide with a material, the material bounds back. Sputtering uses the phenomenon. "Sputter" is to eject the cathode surface atoms by making positive ions collide with the cathode surface (Target).

Sputtering is used for the following applications!

・CDs.

・Heat ray reflective film of windows of buildings.

What can be done with Vacuum：Insulation

Vacuum insulation is a method to make it difficult to transfer heat to air or materials that have the property of conducting heat.

Insulation is used forthe following applications!

・Thermos bottles.

・Electric pots.

・Upper lids of rice cookers.

What can be done with Vacuum：Cooling

Cooling is taking heat from an object and making it cooler than its surroundings. It is the same principle that you feel cool after sprinkling water on the ground on a hot day in midsummer, or before we get a shot, the place where we get a shot is disinfected with alcohol and the area feels cooler.

Cooling is used for the following applications!

・Cooling source for air conditioning.

・Storage of vegetables and other foods.
