ASABA CO., LTD
Wire drawing machines
ASABA CO., LTD., established in 1962 as Asaba Shoji, is a Japanese manufacturing company that has evolved from a trading company dealing with crucibles and refractories to a specialized manufacturer of advanced industrial equipment and materials. Located in Tokyo with manufacturing facilities in Niigata, the company operates under a philosophy centered on environmental friendliness, advanced technology, and societal coexistence.
The company's core business activities span two main areas: ceramic products and continuous casting machines. In the ceramics division, ASABA provides a comprehensive range of products including graphite crucibles, processed carbon products, and various ceramic components specifically designed for the non-ferrous metals industry. Their product line extends to auxiliary equipment such as Delasco pumps for delicate fluid conveyance and JUDO backwashing filters.
ASABA's flagship product line is their ultra-compact continuous casting machines, available in both vertical and horizontal styles, with air or vacuum capabilities. These machines can handle dissolution volumes ranging from 3kg to 100kg, catering to various applications including precious metals, copper, and specialized alloys for electronic materials and dental applications. The machines combine high-frequency melting furnaces with sophisticated cooling systems to produce high-quality castings with minimal gas absorption.
A significant milestone in the company's history was their 1996 contract with the Mint Bureau of the Ministry of Finance for continuous casting machines for gold and silver, demonstrating their technical expertise and reliability. The company maintains high quality standards, as evidenced by their ISO 9001 certification obtained in 2004 for their copper anode manufacturing and sales division.
