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.
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
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
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
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
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
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
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.
