Granular Dynamics Laboratory
Developing machinery for handling grains
There are all kinds of grains around us, such as sand and salt, and many machines are used to handle the grains that are present around us. However, the need for handling these grains more smoothly and quickly has become more pronounced in recent times. Our laboratory conducts research on developing machines that apply electrostatic forces on grains or vibrating them, which are much easier to operate than existing ones.
This lab is for this SDG activity:
STUDY FIELDS
- Mechanical engineering
- Recycle engineering
FOR SOCIETY
We are currently conducting the joint development of equipment for separating foreign objects from food for a company. This equipment is expected to be useful in the food industry. We are also collaborating with different companies.
RESEARCH THEMES
- Development of a plastic separator
- Development of equipment for separating foreign objects from tea leaves
- Research on vibration dampers
