Corporate
Profile

[Company strength]
Our machines were specifically developed for “sixth sector” industrialization by working with the user. Or products were completed after a number of trial and errors, and patents for them have either been granted or are pending. Our machines offer a considerable advantage to users, so they will be in great demand in the years to come. 
We anticipate that sales of our simplified boiler and compact multi-purpose dryer (for produce and marine products) will increase dramatically. 
Our simplified boiler can generate a great deal of energy (two kinds: warm air and warm water) at a fraction (one-tenth to one-twentieth) of the running cost of an ordinary boiler.
Our compact multi-purpose dryer can create a wide variety of branded products through powder processing and low-temperature disinfection technology that differs from conventional drying methods. 


[Business description]
Our company has developed and manufactured industrial plant components for many years. We make use of this technology to provide machines to forestry cooperatives, wood cooperatives, sawmills, agricultural corporations, agricultural processors, agricultural and fishery producers, and seafood processors. We also develop new technologies at the same time. Our machines include wood dryers, crusher-sieving machines, simplified boilers, pelletizers, long-hole wood drilling machines, agricultural and marine product dryers, and powder sieving machines. They are intended for primary producers to diversify into processing and distribution (“sixth sector” industrialization).

[Industry]
Metal product manufacturing

[Strength of products/technologies]
Our wood dryer can make perfect products through low-temperature, low-pressure, oscillating-dehumidification methods and with energy-saving technology.
Our crusher-sieving machines can make use of multiple sieving technologies to chip wood and bamboo and screen them by granularity.
Our multi-purpose simplified boilers are fueled by wood and bamboo chips for pyrolysis. This technology generates clean warm air and water at a low running cost. It can be used in a wide range of applications. 
Our compact multi-purpose dryers help to quickly and reliably process even non-standard agricultural and marine products with low-temperature disinfection technology.
Our powder sieving machines use special blades and three types of sieving technology to turn dried goods and powder into new products. 
Our pelletizer kneads powder ground from dried non-standard marine products with rice bran or charcoal powder to create pellets. The size of the pellets can be freely set. 


[Representative's message]
We are gathering all kinds of information to expand sales both in Japan and overseas in the near future.

[Company structure for market development/overseas expansion]
We hope to conclude sales agreements with major companies to expand domestic Japanese and overseas sales. We plan to adjust our internal organization to achieve this, including the technology and manufacturing departments. 

[Market share/Ranking]
Wood dryers (sold 14 units in Japan); compact multi-purpose dryers (14 units in Kyushu); pelletizer (1 unit in Kumamoto Prefecture); wood crusher-sieving machine (1 unit in Oita Prefecture); our multi-purpose simplified boiler will be marketed extensively nationwide from October 2015.
