This machine knit the wires, and form the mesh as below. ↓ ↓ ↓ ↓
In Japan we use a machine to knit from one wire, however in our China plant, they use a machine that can knit 2 to 4 wires simultaneously. This machine is the same as knitting a sock.
Therefore, this mesh is a little different to the standard mesh. Standard mesh use 2 wires vertically and horizontally but this mesh only use 1 wire, just as our clothes are knitted.
We Japanese were once said as work bees. However, our attitudes are changing recently especially after the earthquake and Tsunami in Northern area of Japan.
Most manufacturers in Japan must have had a whole week holiday from April 29 to May 6 2012.
May 5th is our national holiday for children and this is traditional ceremony for boys since boys were a bit difficult to raise up when comparing to girls at that time.
The tradition came from China. (according to the Wikipedia, though.)
We also put up fish shape banners to celebrate it as below.
The fish are carps. They are flying carps!
Carps tend to ascend waterfall, it is said so.
We also eat some sweets on that day. It is said "Kashiwa mochi".
It is sweet rice cake and sweet azuki stuffed in it.
The leaf wrapped around the cake is Japanese Emperor Oak. (also ref. to Wikipedia)
Ms. Hoshino who's born in 1989 didn't know the reason why we eat the Kashiwa rice cake.
Mmmmm….we are loosing the meaning of it and tradition….
Japanese plum trees are in bloom but not cherry yet.
It seems much colder this year than last year so that we can hardly see cherry blossoms at the moment.
By the way, we would like to show you our favorite filters.
First of all, my favorite is this!
This is my favorite one named "Shijimi-chan" which means a basket clam.
A colleague of mine likes the other.
When comparing the baffle plate with Shijimi-chan filter, it looks like this.
Shijimi-chan is 0.31φ"(7.9 mm) x 0.21" (5.5 mm) height while the baffle plate is 3.14φ"(80 mm) x 0.56"(20 mm) height. So the difference between them is too obvious.
You hardly see filters in Refrigerators, Air Conditioners or Accumulators since they are the parts in them.
Filters are to screen unnecessory particles in those machineries. They are invisible and behind the scenes.
That's why we would like to give them such charactors in this blog.
