Steel Pallets

https://korean-machinery.com///inquiry

[INQ. NO. 2308M07] Since 1992, Samjung Industries Co., Ltd. has been the most professional steel pallet manufacturer in Korea, well-equipped with modern facilities (certifications:ISO9001:2015/ISO14001:2015) and strong technical skills (developed in its R&D center).
Samjung’s main product is the steel pallet for concrete product machines – WowBoard, AlphaBoard, and MetaBoard. Customers in more than 80 countries around the world are using Samjung’s products with satisfaction. Samjung Industries prioritizes product quality, and customer satisfaction is its ultimate mission. All its members are giving their best efforts every day for a better company of their own.

WowBoard
All the materials have their own characteristics to apply on completed goods. POS-SJ is specifically designed for steel-pallet making through an MOU signed between Samjung and POSCO, and these can be more strongly resistant to sea water corrosion. Cutting processes expose high temperature to the cutting section. This causes stress on the edge, which makes the edges harder.
However, the center of the plate remains undisturbed. Eventually, hardness throughout one pallet becomes unbalanced. To solve this problem, Samjung gives equal pressure to the entire pallet to relieve the stress on the steel pallet. WowBoard makes blocks with more density and more equally due to made to order steel, specialized material, stress relief, excellent vibration transmissibility and coated surface.

AlphaBoard
AlphaBoard is a next-generation production pallet for concrete blocks and pavers. Due to its truss structure, AlphaBoard is very light in weight (50~70% the weight of solid steel pallets), durable, has excellent vibration transmissibility, and zero deflection rate.
Such characteristics make the board perfect for manufacturing dense or large-sized products with less occurrence of cracks.

MetaBoard
When a steel pallet has corrosion-resistance features, it offers many benefits to its users. Samjung offers many different corrosion-resistant pallet options such as WowBoard in POS-SJ, and AlphaBoard in stainless, although MetaBoard shows significate differences in features.
MetaBoard surfaces are covered by GI steel, so clients can expect corrosion-resistant features. There are additional vibration frames inside the pallets, which enhance the flatness and vibration transmission rate.
MetaBoard’s manufacturing procedure emits less CO2, and it is made with fully recyclable material, so cashback is possible after use. Thanks to outstanding vibration transmissibility, customers can produce high-quality products with fewer materials.

Hydrophilic Coating Equipment

https://korean-machinery.com///inquiry

[INQ. NO. 2308M02] Noanix Corporation, established in 2009, specializes in hydrophilic coating solutions and develops coating materials for interventional medical devices. Noanix manufactures drug coating solutions, hydrophilic coating solutions, antibacterial coating solutions, and antithrombotic coating solutions essential for coating including interventional medical devices. It also manufactures drug-coating equipment, hydrophilic coating equipment, and hydrophobic coating equipment, plus supplying other coating services.

Hydrophilic coating solutions
As a hydrophilic coating for disposable medical devices, the surface is soft, reducing the insertion stress and pain during surgical procedures, and controlling the cell response — thereby improving the success rate of the actual procedure and significantly reducing side effects.
Noanix has secured many biosafety test reports from NAMSA and has FDA master files.

Hydrophilic coating equipment
Noanix is researching and manufacturing coating equipment using various dip coaters and ultrasonic nozzles.
Long-length medical devices such as guide wires are coated with a dip coater, and small medical devices such as stents and balloons require uniform coating and thin film, so coating equipment using ultrasonic nozzles is used. It has obtained various CE certifications.
It is equipment that coats drugs on the surface of various types of DES (Drug-Eluting Stent) and balloon catheter (DEB) for drug elution, such as peripheral blood, non-vascular, and cardiovascular.
A uniform coating surface can be created by minimizing the spray drop size by using an ultrasonic nozzle. It is driven by a generator that can automatically control the optimum frequency and voltage for spraying according to the characteristics of the sprayed coating liquid.
It can be manufactured in a custom-made form according to the customer’s request.

SK Signet Discloses 400kW Ultra-fast Charger

https://korean-machinery.com///inquiry

At the 36th Electric Vehicle Symposium & Exposition (EVS36) held last month, SK Signet introduced a 400kW V2 charger that was first unveiled at CES 2023.


The V2 charger has already received a great response from the market by charging a Kia EV6 vehicle equipped with an 800V battery up to 80% within just 14 minutes and 44 seconds at a charging demonstration event held at a plant completion ceremony in Texas.


The V2 can charge two vehicles simultaneously with one charger (dispenser), and can output up to 400kW from a single port. It is the first 400kW ultra-quick charger produced in the United States, and with its ability to charge up to 80% in 15 minutes, it is the fastest electric vehicle charging product.


In addition, the V2 chargers are produced at a factory in the United States using American steel, making it one of the few products that can benefit from the National Electric Vehicle Infrastructure Formula Program (NEVI). Since last month, SK Signet’s Texas plant started mass-production in earnest.


SK Signet also exhibited a prototype model of the Megawatt Charging System (MCS) that supplies power in megawatts (MW), for the first time at an international exhibition. The megawatt charger supplies more than 1000 kW of power, making it suitable for charging heavy-duty vehicles such as trucks and buses equipped with large-capacity batteries.


A spokesperson for SK Signet explained, “As the number of electric vehicle users increases, the level of customer demand for the charging experience will increase. In order to advance the era of electric vehicles, shortening the charging time is essential. So we are determined to advance the actual electric vehicle era through the further development of ultra-fast charging technology.”
