To help you become more familiar with vacuum, we explain how vacuum technology is applied.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Let\u2019s try to get to know the vacuum that is used in various fields such as food, medicine, space industry and automotive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Food and vacuum<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Food Packing<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Vacuum packaging is used for food to keep it fresh by creating a vacuum inside.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Dried food<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Egg soups, porridge and dried foods that are ready to eat by just adding hot water are made by ‘vacuum freeze-drying’.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Shochu (Japanese liquor similar to vodka)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Shochu is produced by atmospheric distillation (atmospheric pressure) and decompression distillation (vacuum).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Egg carton<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The transparent case containing the eggs is made by vacuum forming.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Bag of snacks<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

When bagging snacks, vacuum suction is used to ensure the bags are opened.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Potato chips<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

It is made by vacuum frying thin slices of potato, deep-frying them at low temperature and dehydrating them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Milk production<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Vacuum suction systems are used to milk dairy cows.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Vacuum flask<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Water bottles for leisure or at work.
The reason why you can drink a warm drink for a long time is because the water bottle uses the vacuum principle that retains heat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Rice cooker<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The reason why we can eat delicious rice is because the rice cooker has a vacuum structure.
It works by placing rice and water in the rice cooker and reducing the pressure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Fresh storage<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The system is designed to keep food fresh, such as fish and meat, as depressurization of the fridge reduces the amount of oxygen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Printing industry and vacuum<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Banknote calculator<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The notes are counted accurately one by one using vacuum suction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Printing machine<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The paper in the printing machine can be fed precisely one sheet at a time, thanks to the use of vacuum suction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Medical and vacuum<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Vacuum blood collection tube<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Vacuum blood collection tubes have the advantage that the required blood volume can be maintained by simply replacing the collection tube, without the need to transfer the blood into a test tube after collection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A medical device that is less labor-intensive, reduces the risk of infection and lightens the burden on both the person taking the blood sample and the patient.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Radiation therapy machine<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

It is equipped with a small accelerator that emits high-energy X-rays, which radiate X-rays to the patient’s lesion for treatment.
Vacuum pumps are employed in the accelerator.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Dentist<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Vacuum hoses are used to suction saliva and abrasive particles during dental treatment.
This vacuum hose uses a vacuum.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Pharmaceutical production<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Vaccine production requires long-term storage.
For this purpose, liquid pharmaceuticals are vacuum lyophilized to an unheated dry state.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Housing industry and vacuum<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Insulating glass<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Residential insulating glass is double glazed, with a vacuum between the two panes of glass to provide insulation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Vacuum solar system<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

It has a simple structure that uses sunlight to heat the water in the vacuum glass tube.
This water heater uses sunlight as its heat source.
The inside of the glass tube is vacuumed for thermal insulation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Automotive industry and vacuum<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Shield beam<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Reflective mirrors for cars and bicycles are made of aluminum formed by vacuum evaporation on the mirror surface of molded resin and used as the reflective coating.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Aerospace and vacuum<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Aircraft weight reduction<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Modern aircraft use carbon fiber structural materials, which are made by vacuum impregnating carbon fibers with epoxy-based resins, molding and solidifying them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Space chambers<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Space chambers are used to test whether components of satellites and rockets can withstand the space environment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n Products can be found here.<\/span>\n
