Labor saving and improved safety
To the testing center where people gather
It has been renewed.

Office appearance

The Yokkaichi branch has been designated as a core filling station, and has established a system to quickly supply energy even in the event of a disaster.

Maruei Co., Ltd. was considering renovating their testing center with the goal of creating a testing center that would attract people.

In particular, they had been struggling for many years with measures to prevent human error when removing and attaching valves. Previously, neck leak inspections were carried out based on checklists when cylinder were shipped from the inspection center and before filling at the filling stations (each of Maruei Co., Ltd.'s locations). However, there were limits to what could be done by humans, and Maruei Co., Ltd.'s policy was to solve the fundamental problem and completely eliminate neck leaks, thereby preventing accidents from occurring.

While considering an update,

• The device physically stops when an error occurs.

• No need for major renovations

• Reduces the workload of workers

They said that these points were the deciding factors in their decision to use our valve removal machine. Furthermore, other companies' devices do not have the function to record tightening torque values in a performance report, which gave them hope that this would give them peace of mind.

① Labor saving in inspection work and neck leak inspection

②Establishment of a safe and secure inspection system

If an error occurs, it is displayed on the panel and the device stops operating, so there is no need to worry about it being overlooked. The previous device was aging and required detailed adjustments when attaching the device to the valve, but after the update, operation has been simplified and anyone can operate it easily. As a result, the number of bottles inspected per day has increased from 120 to 140.

Furthermore, tightening torque values are now included in the inspection report, allowing them to deliver gas to customers with even more confidence. Neck leak inspections are now carried out at the time of shipment, which reduces the inspection operations at each filling station and also leads to improved work efficiency. This additional time has allowed them to make progress in building a safer inspection system, he said.

The Yokkaichi branch has both cylinder inspection center and an LPG filling station, supporting a stable energy supply for the region. The filling station uses our UNIDACK fully automatic rotary LPG filling machine.

Maruei Co., Ltd. is not limited to the LPG business, but is also involved in a wide range of businesses, including real estate, natural water, renovations, and agricultural projects. Furthermore, as part of its efforts to achieve decarbonization, the company is boldly taking on new renewable energy sources, in addition to proposing solar power and storage battery combinations and introducing biomass boilers.

The newly established Industrial Energy Division will focus on the future of the industrial sector, starting with energy-saving diagnosis and combining the water supply and drainage and electrical work handled by the group to make differentiated proposals that cannot be found at other companies.
