Zuwa’s Nirostar Impeller Pump Becomes Part of a Fully Automatic Device for Pig Feeding

As global economies become more integrated, industrial manufacturers encounter both expanded possibilities and heightened challenges. Selling into a global market means far more than shipping products overseas. It requires adapting to varied industries, navigating strict regulatory landscapes, and anticipating technological shifts that will reshape demand. For companies in fluid transfer, these considerations are magnified: the applications are diverse, the compliance requirements are stringent, and the markets evolve at different speeds.

Reliable water access is essential not only for households and industry but also for maintaining green spaces that enhance quality of life for urban residents. Japanese underground construction specialist Sansui Kaihatsu Co., Ltd., based in Miyoshi City, Hiroshima Prefecture and serving customers across Japan, drilled a 250-meter water well in Toyota City, Aichi Prefecture to supply sprinklers for a local golf course — powered by Atlas Copco’s Y35 portable air compressor.

Dutch drinking water utility Brabant Water, in partnership with Xylem, is creating one of Europe’s largest digital water networks, serving 2.6 million residents and businesses across North Brabant. To meet rising demand, the utility is deploying a digital twin and smart metering solutions to build a more efficient, resilient water system.

EBARA Corporationhas been selected as the contracting party and signed a prototype pump contract for the “FY2025 Stardust Program R&D of High-Efficiency Heat Dissipation System for Digital Signal Processing – Prototype of Performance Verification Pump for Two-Phase Flow Heat Dissipation System (Part A) (hereinafter: this matter),” which was announced by the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (hereinafter: JAXA) through a competitive bidding process.

Vibration in rotating machinery is a leading cause of premature failure, costly downtime, and safety hazards. For operators of vertical motors, one of the most important vibration-related concepts to understand is reed critical frequency (RCF). This natural frequency of a motor system plays a central role in determining whether a motor will operate smoothly or succumb to damaging resonance conditions.

Electricity Generating Authority of Thailand (EGAT) has awarded international technology group ANDRITZ a contract to replace the two pumped storage units at the Srinagarind hydropower plant with new, state-of-the-art units.
