Bean sprouts factory (Shizuoka)
Bean sprouts Manufacturer in Shizuoka
2020 Installations
＜Background＞
They consulted us because the increase in production volume necessitated upsizing their dehydration machine.
＜Challenges and Proposals＞
To accommodate a 2.5-fold increase in production volume, we proposed not only upgrading the dehydration machine but also replacing the crusher and conveyor system. The large hopper was designed to handle both receiving residue discharged from the inclined screen and loading it via a rotary lift.
All bean sprouts after dewatering are fully recycled as animal feed.
Bean sprouts factory (Gifu)
Bean Sprout Manufacturer in Gifu
2020 Installations
＜Background＞
When establishing a new factory, we were approached for this project based on our track record with other bean sprout manufacturers.”
＜Challenges and Proposals＞
The goal was to minimize factory waste, so we introduced three separate lines to recycle the residue as much as possible. Each of the three lines includes a comprehensive system consisting of conveyors for transportation, a crusher, and a dehydration machine.
Kawasakisyokuhin Co.,Ltd. (Saga)
Kawasakisyokuhin Co.,Ltd. in Saga
2015 Installations
＜Background＞
Although they were using an existing dehydration machine to reduce weight, they faced issues such as insufficient squeezing and clogging within the dehydration machine. They reached out to us for a solution.
＜Challenges and Proposals＞
They wanted to improve the dehydration efficiency, so we first ensured that our dehydration machine could dehydrate effectively. Additionally, we proposed that the dehydrated bean sprouts could be converted into animal feed, leading to an annual cost reduction of 3 million yen. This comprehensive initiative of dehydrating food residue and converting it into feed was featured on NHK.
Bean sprouts factory (Kanagawa)
Bean sprouts Manufacturer in Kanagawa
2022 Installations
＜Background＞
They were using a dehydration machine and a dryer, but due to the aging of the dehydration machine and the increased fuel costs of the dryer, they were considering replacing them.
＜Challenges and Proposals＞
We proposed that by efficiently dehydrating, the material could be converted into feed without the need for drying. Additionally, they requested the removal of existing machines, so we handled everything from removal to installation in one package. Currently, the feed conversion is proceeding smoothly, and although the amount is small, we are able to sell the converted feed.
Bean sprouts factory (Saitama)
Bean sprouts Manufacturer in Saitama
2023 Installations
＜Background＞
Due to the need to replace the aging existing dehydration machine, there was a request for us to handle everything from the removal of the old machine to the installation of the new dehydration machine as a complete package.
＜Challenges and Proposals＞
The bean sprout production line operates almost 24/7, 365 days a year, so the time available for machine installation was extremely limited. However, we were able to complete the removal and installation within just a few hours during which the machines could be stopped.
Additionally, we installed a new device for transporting bean sprouts via pump, allowing the dehydration machine to process bean sprout residue from other factories as well. Of course, the dehydrated bean sprouts are recycled as cattle feed.
Bean sprouts factory (Gifu)
Bean sprouts Manufacturer in Gifu
2023 Installations
＜Background＞
The closure of the bean sprout residue collection business left us without a recipient for the undehydrated bean sprout residue.
＜Challenges and Proposals＞
Without wastewater treatment facilities, the disposal of the bean sprout waste liquid after dehydration was a challenge. However, an analysis of the waste liquid revealed that it could be converted into liquid feed (a drink for pigs). As a result, we started filling tanks with the waste liquid, and it is now being collected along with the bean sprout residue.
Food company (Kyoto)
Food Processing Manufacturer in Kyoto
2018 Installations
＜Background＞
They were using a dryer to reduce the weight of cabbage residue, but it incurred high running costs and frequent breakdowns. They concluded that a simpler dehydration process would be better and reached out to us. After a three-company competition, they chose us for our proposal of an integrated system with conveyors, a crusher, and a dehydration machine, as well as the superior dehydration efficiency.
＜Challenges and Proposals＞
They requested a solution that would minimize manual labor. We proposed a system that only requires human intervention during the initial residue input, with the rest of the process being automated for continuous conveying, crushing, and dehydration. This resulted in a weight reduction rate of 70% and significant cost savings due to reduced labor requirements.
Food processing company (Ehime)
Food processing Manufacturer in Ehime
2021 Installations
＜Background＞
The company, which manufactures salads for convenience stores, wanted to reduce the volume of leafy residue produced daily.
＜Challenges and Proposals＞
Given the limited installation space, we proposed a compact layout. Additionally, since female employees were expected to use the equipment, we designed a slide-type residue input port to reduce the workload and make it easier for them to operate. Being a food company, hygiene was a top priority, so we designed the screen section to be removable for easy cleaning, enhancing the overall sanitary features of the system.
Thai beverage(Thai land)
Thai beverage(Thai land)
2023 Installations
＜Background＞
They wanted to increase the extraction yield of pineapples used as raw material for a brandy called Meridian and improve the efficiency of the process.
＜Challenges and Proposals＞
To process 40 tons of pineapples per day, we proposed the largest DM60 model. Additionally, the coarse crushing granularity of the locally manufactured crusher in Thailand caused clogging in the dehydration machine. To address this, we collaborated with our partner company in Thailand to equip an original crusher.
This improvement not only refined the crushing granularity but also enhanced the transport efficiency of the screw conveyor. As a result, the overall efficiency of the crushing and dehydration process significantly increased. The juice extraction rate also improved by 30% compared to the existing machine.
Food processing factory (Shizuoka)
Onion processing factory in Shizuoka
2024 Installations
＜Background＞
We have received a request to reduce the industrial waste disposal costs for onion waste.
＜Challenges and Proposals＞
They wanted to directly load the onion residues collected in the existing containers into the dehydrator. Therefore, we proposed installing a large hopper that allows direct loading using a rotating lift.
Craft whisky company (Shizuoka)
Craft whisky distillery in Shizuoka
2017 Installations
＜Background＞
Since more than one ton of malt residue is produced at a time, they faced challenges such as increased industrial waste disposal costs and odor issues from spoilage.
＜Challenges and Proposals＞
Given the limited installation space, we proposed a layout with the hopper and dehydration machine arranged in parallel to fit within the specified area. While the odor from the spoiled malt residue was also a concern, dehydration helps to some extent in mitigating the smell, although not completely. The dehydrated malt is converted into animal feed, adopting an eco-feed system.
Craft whisky company at Kumamoto
Craft whisky distillery in Kumamoto
2022 Installations
＜Background＞
With the establishment of a new distillery, they introduced a malt residue dehydration machine. We were contacted based on a recommendation from a related distillery.
＜Challenges and Proposals＞
To meet the requirement of discharging the entire mash tun’s (1 ton) malt at once, we designed a large temporary receiving hopper. Given the limited installation space, we designed and arranged the entire system in an L-shape. The dehydrated malt is converted into animal feed, adopting an eco-feed system.
Kyoto Craft Brewery
Kyoto Craft Brewery
2023 Installations
<Background>
With the steady increase in beer production, the amount of malt residue also increased, making disposal a challenge. Additionally, there was a request to convert the malt residue into feed, so we proposed a complete system from dehydration to feed conversion.
<Proposal>
Instead of pumping the malt discharged from the mash tun, we first proposed receiving it with an Okura hopper, transporting it by forklift to the screw conveyor, and then loading it into the hopper. To address the request to minimize the height of the malt input, we made a slight excavation at the screw conveyor installation site to lower the height of the intake.
