Environment/Energy

NARA is contributing in the field of environment and energy, one of the high-priority issues of the 21st century, through manufacturing. Our Pulverizers are available for milling wooden chips or rice straws which will be used for bio fuels. Also, our dryers are used for many kinds of plants such as factory sludge, food waste, and by-product, for the purpose of recycling and reducing waste volume. Also, we have experiences in installing dryer for solvent recovery in the natural gas plant.
We also contribute to the development of new materials for the alternative energy, such as secondary batteries, fuel cells, solar cells, and nuclear power.

Nara Paddle Dryer (NPD) Indirect heat transfer type dryer of 2-shaft, has high heat transfer coefficient due to unique development of wedge shaped conductive blade and the equipment is compact. Applicable to reduced pressure operation, cooled operation using cool medium and high operation using heat medium.	Single Paddle Dryer (SPD) Indirect heat transfer type dryer with 1-shaft, and applicable to reduced pressure operation. Also applicable to cooled operation using cool medium and high operation using heat medium.
Nara Hybridization System (NHS) Enables surface modification and preparation of composite materials of fine particles in a dry system, in a short process time.	Jiyu Mill (Mill) Any kind of materials can be pulverized. A wide range of pulverization from granular to fine powder is available. Milling large quantity of material in a short process time is possible.
Rotary Cutter Mill (RCM) Rotor and stator perform continuous cutting and crushing of the material, as if cutting with scissors. Suitable for processing fibrous/sheet-like and elastic materials.	Hammer Mill (HM) The mill is provided with swing hammer or chip hammer. A primary/secondary crushing for milling large raw material with maximum of 70-80mm.
New Cosmomizer (COS) Pulverizer with built-in classification mechanism employing centrifugal force. Particles are pulverized to extreme limits of several micron meters - several 10 micron meters.	Micros (MIC) A ring-shaped media is employed in wet milling. Uniform distribution and fine particles milling of highly viscous slurry can be performed.
Sample Mill (SAM) Lab type pulverizer for R&D, with GMP design, which is easily disassembled/cleaned. It can be used as a sizing machine by exchanging the parts.	Continuous Type Fluidized Bed Dryer (CT-FBD) Fluidized bed dryer conducts continuous operation. Heat exchangers can be build-in and gas amount can be reduced. Main body of fluidized bed, auxiliary equipments like blower and dust collector are compact.
Batch Type Fluidized Bed Dryer (B-FBD) Fluidized bed dryer operating by batch unit. Uniform drying can be achieved due to control of residence time.	Media Slurry Dryer (MSD) Drying is accomplished by feeding slurry material continuously to the medium in fluidized state due to hot air. The solids dispersed in the slurry with a size of primary particle are taken out.
Nara Mixer and Granulator (NMG) High-speed agitating mixer and granulator for mixing, granulating and coating. Wide ranges of product lineups from lab-scale to production scale, and GMP design are available.	Horizontal Type Nebulasizer (HNS) New type of sizing machine with no screens. Since there is no screen clogging or breakage, sizing with wet granules is possible. It may be used as deagglomeration machine.
Miralo (ML) Enables mechano-chemical process, mechanical alloying, preparation of composite materials, and precision mixing in a dry process.	Laser Ablation System (L/A) Nanoparticles are formed by pulsed laser irradiation to the target material. Film formation on substrates, fine particle coating, and a liquid phase process is possible.
Labo Kiln (L/K) Rotating kiln for R&D purposes, which provides uniform calcinations, especially in heat treatment associating contact and reaction with gas.
