[Strength of products/technologies]
Our “continuous circulation filtering device” provides improved quality in continuous circulation filtering for use at food factories, industrial uses, etc. The device immediately filters dirt. The device filters 20 – 4,000 liters per minute of frying oil, industrial coolants, etc. and uses a single filter. The device can handle a minimum filtering of 0.5 m. We are one of few vacuum-frying device manufactures in Japan, and we also provide consultation on “vacuum fryers”. We provide devices that enable the production of high-quality commodities, utilizing the patented continuous circulation filtering technique. 

[Representative's message]
A filtering device is auxiliary, and most people think that the main device is equipped with one, or that it is sufficient that filtering can be carried out. There are many cases, however, where improvement or stability of quality as well as improving the working environment were achieved by paying attention to filtering. We also engage in raising the efficiency of farm products using vacuum-frying devices. We have many demonstration devices and can take orders starting from the R&D stage. We are recently promoting utilization for the Sixth Industrialization in agriculture. We hope to see the market grow through cooperation with manufactures, trading companies, producers, and personal enterprises. Please, do not hesitate to contact us.

[Company structure for market development/overseas expansion]
Fried foods etc. are frequently used overseas. If consumers continue to raise their perception of quality, the role of quality control for frying oil will become increasingly important. We would like to sell more of our products overseas, and are looking to increase trade with trading companies. Currently, our technical group and representatives concurrently serve as sales staff.  

[Market share/Ranking]
Our products are used at almost all domestic instant ramen (noodle) factories, and our share of filtering devices is about 50%.
