  1. POINT

    Manufacturing capable of handling not only general-purpose products but also customer requests for special and high added-value systems

  2. POINT

    Proprietary technology responding to customers' trust worldwide

  3. POINT

    Product development constantly evolving through world-class technological capacity

point 01

Manufacturing capable of handling not only general-purpose products but also customer requests for special and high added-value systems

At KITZ SCT, we create fluid control devices boasting safety, durability, and reliability. We have constructed a proprietary development and testing system which continues to produce high added-value products. As a company focused on development, KITZ SCT guarantees the continued provision of products in response to customer demand, based on a spirit of challenge.

point02

Proprietary technology responding to customers' trust worldwide

Based on market-in thinking, in order to provide our customers with high-quality, original products, the KITZ Group works as one to cultivate product and production technologies enabling higher functionality and ultra-precision, improving technological capacities in various fields.

Temperature distribution analysis
Temperature distribution analysis

Realizing superb thermal uniformity

We possess the optimal heating technology for the stable supply of vaporized or sublimated chemical compounds to the use point, as well as for ensured thermal uniformity reducing the accumulation of byproducts within valves.

Ultra-high pressure valve series for hydrogen stations
First 70 MPa-level ball valves for hydrogen stations in Japan

Ultra-high pressure valve series for hydrogen stations

We conduct product development in accordance with the law as a high-pressure gas certified business, developing products requiring ultra-high pressure technology which are used in everything from the semiconductor industry to hydrogen filling stations for fuel cell vehicles (FCV).

Realizing wide-ranging pressure control
Pressure regulation possible from high vacuum to near atmosphere

Realizing wide-ranging pressure control

In order to realize wide-ranging pressure control from high to low vacuum areas, we have created optimal pressure control technology melding our control technology and our proprietary mechanism technology.

point 03

Product development constantly evolving through world-class technological capacity

APC butterfly valves

APC butterfly valves

Our proprietary structure, in which the seat ring and flapper activate continuously, realizes valve open/close, slow exhaust, and pressure regulation functions in a single valve. As well, the flapper O-ring durability has been notably improved.

HOT valves

HOT valves

Through our proprietary heating structure, based on heaters mounted on the valve body exterior and bellows interior, cold spots can be eliminated and byproduct accumulation reduced. This extends maintenance cycles caused by equipment stoppages, improving equipment operating rates.

HOT gate valves

HOT gate valves

Individual temperature control of the heaters on the body exterior and valve body interior ensures excellent thermal uniformity, reducing the accumulation of byproducts and extending the maintenance cycle. As well, a non-sliding structure is used to reduce the generation of particles when the valve opens and closes.

Integrated gas system

Integrated gas system

Adopting the KITZ SCT proprietary B-SEAL (center-lock), this gas system has a minimized footprint and excellent maintainability. B-SEAL (center-lock) enables rapid replacement of devices such as valves with a single nut, like racing car tire changes.

KITZ SCT development system

At KITZ SCT, we have integrated development and design, quality assurance, production management, manufacturing, and sales toward the development of new products. By developing new products from various angles, we rapidly provide products suited to customer needs. As well, we are constantly developing new products, through the adoption of new technology and other approaches.
