Polyester Staple Fiber

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

[INQ. NO. 2312M13] Huvis was launched in 2000 by integrating the synthetic fiber business divisions of Samyang Corporation (now Samyang Holdings) and SK Chemicals (now SK Discovery).
Huvis produces annually 700,000 tons of polyester staple fiber and filament yarn; resin; super fiber (meta-aramid, PPS fiber); and industrial materials. Its main products include ‘LMF,’ an eco-friendly bonding fiber for replacing chemical binders; ‘Purever,’a premium material for sanitary materials; ‘Conju,’ a filling fiber for duvets/padding; short-cut fibers; differentiated filament yarns; and high-strength yarns.
Low-Melting Fiber (LMF) is a material made by conjugate spinning of general polyester and modified low melting-point polyester. It is used for bonding as the sheath with low melting point is only melted and bonded by heat treatment.
LMF can reduce carbon-dioxide emissions under its lower heating temperature of 110 degrees Celsius.
It has an excellent ability to maintain its shape after being combined with other materials.

LMF: A key material for automotive interior materials
Low-melting fiber (LMF) is used in a variety of areas, including bedding and furniture, building materials, and filters. In particular, it is a key material for automotive interior materials such as headliners, dashboards, and door trims. Huvis has developed LMF in various colors such as black, red, brown, and beige for enhancing LMF competitiveness. Huvis is manufacturing products that meet its customers’ needs by developing differentiated products with melting points of 110 °C, 130°C, 150°C, 180°C, and 200°C, respectively.

Purever : A bicomponent fiber produced by composite spinning of polyethylene, polypropylene, and polyester. It is softer than regular polyester, so it is used for sanitary materials such as diapers and sanitary napkins. In particular, it is a material safe for the human body as it does not use resin (chemical binder).
Huvis fibers, including Purever, are ‘Oeko-Tex’ Standard 100 certified since 2007.

Smart Safety System

[INQ. NO. 2312M04] This system consists of a Multi-function Digital Semaphore and a Gas Safety Master.
Its control panel consists of functions that control a flagger, a text electric sign, a siren, image equipment, a power supply, and sound. It also has a function that manages a site by displaying an instant gas-detection response by connecting with the Gas Master that comes with it. Gas Safety Master is a primary gas detection system that can be used in industrial sites that can potentially be exposed to harmful gases.
Workers can carry it freely to a site when working, and it has a linked external warning system, as well as its own alarm when an abnormality is detected. Therefore, if a field worker cannot independently perform a rescue, the external warning system alerts others to the site’s problem. In addition, Gas Safety Master has a convenient function that can create a report automatically when needed by continuously monitoring, recording and saving a site situation linking with PC using telecommunications.

Swing Blind Valve
This is a powder blocking valve, preventing the entry of ash, etc. It is an innovative product that can reduce the water-backwashing period when backwashing an electric precipitator with water to reduce fine dust by installing at a bottom ash and fly ash facility in a thermal power plant. It has the advantage whereby a water-backwashing period is very greatly reduced because a valve is turned on-and-off by turning a disc from side to side when using a blind valve. It also has outstanding air-tightness performance due to a moving seat ring moving up-and-down and a triple O-ring.

Electrochemical Device

[INQ. NO. 2312M05] Established in 2017, Overplus Power Co., Ltd. has strived to develop high-temperature water solid oxide electrolysis cell (SOEC) stack for clean hydrogen production without creating any greenhouse gases on the side.
With multidisciplinary areas such as materials science, chemical engineering, electrochemical engineering, mechanical engineering, and electrical engineering, developing reliable SOEC stacks comes with big challenges. After successful short stack development, Overplus Power is now commercializing the stack.

The SOEC stack is an electrochemical device that converts water steam into hydrogen, which is expected to lower hydrogen production costs significantly in the near future. However, it is challenged with relatively low durability that needs to improve.
Overplus Power’s stack fortunately delivers excellent current efficiency and durability that can compete with global producers such as Bloom Energy or Sunfire. The company can work with system suppliers to develop entire systems with customized stack characteristics.
Compared with competitive electrolysis technologies such as PEM or alkaline electrolysis techniques, where they require 52-55 kWh/kgH2, SOEC technology only requires 37 kWh/kgH2 which results in much better business results.
