Environmentally Friendly Products

Amano is actively promoting environmentally friendly product designs by incorporating energy efficiency, resource efficiency (Reduce, Reuse, and Recycle), safety, and rigid control of environmentally burdensome substances when developing and modifying our products.

Electric Dust Collector "MR series"

Filterless mist collector “MR series” collects watersoluble mist generated in metal cutting processes, which is global specification mist collector with longlife capture performance, energy-saving effect, and enhanced maintainability compared to the conventional “MJ series”. By newly designing PM motor and inverter respectively, we have achieved global specifications that comply with high-efficiency regulations in various countries and the CE standard, while reducing CO₂ emissions.

Small Robotic Floor Scrubber “HAPiiBOT”/ Electrolyzed Water Unit

Released “HAPiiBOT”, a small robotic floor scrubber targeting small and medium-sized facilities such as supermarkets. The conventional autonomous driving technology is equipped with AI image technology, making it possible to clean complex and narrow areas. In addition, by installing an electrolyzed water unit, it is possible to generate and use washing water that does not contain surfactants without the need for an electrolyzed water generator, water softener, or water storage tank, etc. In this way, there are no CO₂ emissions in the wastewater treatment process after use, which contributes to reducing the environmental impact.

Ticketless Paystation (GT-4100)

Instead of using parking ticket s, the “GT-4100” paystation uses license plates to control the vehicles and to settle parking fees. This is the so called “License Plate Recognition (LPR)” system which has no consumables such as paper tickets and ink-ribbons. Since there are no consumables, there is less waste.

Industrial Air Purifier “Amatsukaze”

The industrial air purifier “Amatsukaze” is equipped with a UV-C ultraviolet lamp for virus suppression. By using an electro dust extraction system, unlike common filter-type air purifiers with comparable performance, it does not require large filters and large fans to send air. Due to the highly efficient collection capability and low pressure-loss, the product is of high performance while being energy efficient. In addition, the collecting electrodes can be washed and reused. This product supports the creation of a safe environment even in facilities where many people gather, such as exhibition halls and event venues.

Electrolyzed Water Generator

UV-C An electrolyzed water generator electrolyzes water by adding a small amount of salt and generates two types of water, hypochlorous acid water (acidic electrolyzed water) and alkaline electrolyzed water. When used properly, electrolyzed water has the following properties, and can be used to create a hygienic environment in consideration of people’s safety and the environment.

Properties:

Hypochlorous acid water (acidic electrolyzed water) has a strong sterilization effect against various types of viruses and bacteria.
It is highly safe to people, as it is generated from water and salt only.
Wastewater does not generate CO₂, unlike when a surfactant is used.^{* 1}
It contains no detergent, so river and marine pollution caused by effluents can be mitigated.
