Technology
The Seibu Giken Group was born as Seibu Giken Technology Research, and as this name implies, research and development form a major pillar of the company. We realize thorough quality control on the products that are the result of this research and development by handling every step of the process from manufacturing to maintenance, and with our high level of technology, we consistently provide the best rotors to our customers. Our development approach, in which we repeatedly provide in-depth feedback every step of the way from development to commercialization and flexibly give shape to ideas that go beyond technology, is a crucial factor in our competitiveness. We have attracted attention to many of our original products, and we are also engaged in basic research with universities and research institutions as well as joint ventures with leading companies both domestic and abroad.
Original Technology
Develop the honeycomb.
With our technology, we can form all kinds of materials into honeycombs of various sizes, and we can load and support adsorbents, deodorizers in order to give functions to the materials efficiently.
Honeycomb structure contributes to maintaining low pressure drop as the structure has high surface area of impregnated/supported materials.
Make full use of the honeycomb.
With our technology, we can transform functional honeycombs into rotors. Rotating honeycomb rotor and manipulating its temperature, it can be used to adsorb and desorb the gas to be processed and to exchange heat.
Honeycomb rotors enable to process large volumes of gas continuously.
Honeycomb’s capabilities.
The honeycomb structure makes it possible to control quality of air.
As air passes through the honeycomb structure, the quality of the air changes as it contacts the honeycomb material.
Our products solve a wide range of problems concerning controlling the air quality by adding functions to honeycomb structure.
