Unics has an exemplary record of developing and commercializing technical coatings based on urethane, Teflon, nylon, etc.; engineering plastic technology such as MC nylon, duracon, etc.; parts feeder technology; and the design and manufacture of a wide variety of equipment. Based on this expertise and following proposals and consultation, we accept orders for affordably priced processing of highly functional equipment parts used in the manufacture of automatic machines and labor-saving devices, centered on parts feeders.

Apart from engineering plastic processing, we also handle ceramics, super-engineered plastics, etc., and we undertake equipment design and manufacturing in connection with the "Omusubi Kororin" automatic omusubi (riceball making) equipment and the "Safety Pon" used-needle sterilizing and processing machine.

In the future, we intend to continue tackling cost cutting and improvement measures together with our customers.

Every year in Japan's hospitals there are several thousand accidents involving unintended injections with used syringes, which results in a never-ending succession of infections.

When such accidents occur, there is a possibility that patients will become infected with dangerous viruses such as HIV, etc. And recently, fears of infection with the SARS virus have also become a consideration.

Safety Pon is a syringe melting sterilizer developed as a method of helping to prevent hospital infections and as an aid to waste processing.

Safety Pon turns injection needles and syringes used in medical facilities into lumps of plastic that take up only about a fifth of their original volume by melting them at a high temperature in excess of 200C. Thanks to this process, used needles, which conventionally have to be treated as potentially infectious medical waste, can now be handled as ordinary industrial waste.

Safety Pon is of real help not only in guarding the safety of doctors, nurses and patients, but also of workers involved in waste collection and transportation. What's more, because the volume of the processed waste is reduced by 80%, the device can be considered an environmentally friendly product that can help reduce the demand for landfill space.
