      Yamashin Filter, a manufacturer of filters for construction machinery, has developed a "hybrid filter" that uses glass fiber and nanofiber as materialsto reduce environmental impact. The new filter has three times the longevity of the company's conventional products. It also reduces the amount of waste to one-third, thus reducing the negative impact on the environment. Atsuhiko Yamazaki, president of the company, is enthusiastic, "We want our customers to understand the value of this product and spread it as soon as possible."Mr. Yamazaki said, "Chinese construction equipment manufacturers are shifting from focusing on cost to focusing on quality. By expanding its market share in China, the company aims to increase its filter sales from the current 12.3 billion yen to 25 billion yen in the fiscal year ending March 2010.

        Ikeuchi's backpack-type sterilization spray device "Dry Fog Hainou

        The plant has improved its production efficiency by organizing work processes that had been scattered all over the place and setting up lines. The number of workers has also been increased by 40% from the current level. The company has been importing some parts from China, but the supply chain has been slow, so for the time being it will switch to parts made in Japan. The device sprays chemical solutions into a mist with a particle diameter of 10 micrometers or less (a micro is one-millionth). The particle diameter is so small that it does not get wet even if it hits an object. Since it is possible to spray the chemical solution while carrying it around, it can be used for sterilization in emergencies and in places where there is a blind spot.
