Conventional dewatering operations involve methods such as using blowers or air and hot air to evaporate moisture. However, none of these methods achieve complete dewatering, leading workers to perform additional wiping tasks to prevent complaints related to residual water causing odors, mold, and damage to cardboard boxes. Although the noise during operation has decreased compared to older devices, it is still quite loud. Workers engaged in tasks in areas exceeding 85 dB are required to wear earplugs or earmuffs, which poses a problem as they may not hear emergency signals or announcements, such as alarms. In terms of equipment specifications, pursuing dewatering effectiveness results in longer devices. This can lead to issues with factory installation space and makes cleaning and maintenance difficult due to the inability to disassemble the equipment, raising hygiene concerns. The new dewatering machine developed by our company utilizes a special antibacterial urethane sponge, enabling compact and efficient dewatering operations. The clearance adjuster function allows for thickness adjustments of the target objects, eliminating concerns about crushing solid items. An optional air blow unit achieves more accurate and complete dewatering. For more details, please contact us or download the catalog.

The "Micro Pressure System," developed by pursuing the thermal conductivity of steam, achieves maximum thermal efficiency with minimal heat sources. It offers significant energy-saving measures, reduces wastewater treatment without the need for hot water, and is hygienic, making it a proposal that Nikko confidently presents. 【Features】 ○ Free selection of heating time and heating temperature settings ○ Significant energy savings achieved ○ Improvement and standardization of quality ○ Reduction of wastewater treatment without the need for hot water ○ Hygienic ○ Cost reduction through increased productivity and labor-saving measures

Soft foods are prone to crushing during cutting, making automation difficult, so there are many situations where manual cutting is unavoidable. The food cutter we offer, the "Ultrasonic Cutter," utilizes ultrasonic vibrations to cut without applying unnecessary pressure on the food, allowing for beautiful cross-sections. It can finish soft foods like roll cakes, castella, and cheese without altering their shape. It efficiently processes a variety of products with a single unit, making it suitable for small-batch production of diverse items. 【Features】 ■ Automates the cutting of soft foods that were previously done manually ■ Can cut soft ingredients like Baumkuchen without crushing the product ■ Produces clean cutting surfaces and is resistant to deformation; compatible with a variety of products using one unit ■ Equipped with an automatic blade cleaning function for hygiene and long-lasting blades ■ Designed to minimize oil adhesion *For more details, please contact us or download the catalog for more information.

Steam generated by boiling water is further heated to a state above 100°C, and this gas is referred to as "superheated steam." This device uses only high-temperature superheated steam as a heat source, directly injecting it into the ingredients for direct baking, achieving both "steaming" and "baking" simultaneously. With a uniquely different ideal baking method, it significantly contributes to improving product quality. [Features] - Ability to freely create grill marks - Short heating process - due to excellent thermal conductivity, it finishes in a short time. - Improvement in product quality - the surface is crispy while the inside remains juicy, with vibrant colors. The effect of preventing flavor loss enhances the product's taste, prevents fat oxidation, and leads to improved product quality. - Easy and flexible settings - various settings can be made for each heater, allowing for unique baking methods and detailed control. - Outstanding energy-saving effect - the steam usage rate is very good, significantly reducing running costs. - Can bake frozen products directly. - No need for auxiliary equipment such as boilers or reheating devices.

Cutting long yams is mostly done by hand, and considerable skill is required to achieve the specified weight. Many skilled workers are elderly, leading to a labor shortage issue. Additionally, when unskilled workers perform the cutting, it results in significant variability and poor yield, hindering quality improvement. Operators simply set the desired cutting weight on a touch panel and place the yam on the conveyor. The weight of the workpiece is automatically measured and accurately assessed using three-dimensional measurement technology. Our original software instantly calculates the cutting position based on the set weight and communicates it to the cutter. It allows for continuous cutting without breaking the yam. ● Automatic cutting just by placing the workpiece on the conveyor ● Equipped with three-dimensional measurement ● Easy operation with a touch panel ● Tool-free attachment and detachment ● Standard weight cutting for root vegetables like yams, radishes, and carrots

The loader is a device that automatically arranges and loads pouch and cup products onto trays. The unloader is a device that automatically removes products from trays after they have been sterilized through retort sterilization. We would like to introduce Nikko's "Loader/Unloader." [Features Pursuing Usability in Food Factories] ■ Adopts a robotic system High-speed and careful operation ■ Compact The device is very compact compared to other manufacturers (front width 3,733mm) ■ Trays are less likely to be scratched or warped The use of a zip chain enables stable tray transport ■ Sturdy frame structure Stable operation without shaking even when the robot is in motion ■ Control technology designed for on-site usability Equipped with user-friendly features such as robot control with offset function ■ Control technology considering usability in the food industry - Capable of registering 99 product types - Cycle stop function available - Option to select method for product changeover *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

If the dewatering operation is insufficient, we perform wiping again to prevent odors, mold, and damage to cardboard boxes caused by residual water. "Suitor" uses a special urethane sponge with antibacterial properties, allowing for compact and efficient dewatering. The thickness of the target object can be adjusted, eliminating concerns about crushing solid items. ◎ We are currently offering a technical document titled "Five Solutions to Dewatering Issues (NEW)"! 【Features】 ■ Utilizes a special urethane sponge with antibacterial agents, providing excellent dewatering effects without noise. ■ Safe to use even with items that are prone to crushing. ■ Parts can be easily attached and detached without tools, making cleaning and maintenance a breeze. ■ Powered by a 100W motor, significantly energy-saving. ■ Compatible with hard-to-dewater standing pouches (optional setting). ■ Can be linked with other devices. If linked after the unloader, it enables one-way casing without changing the line. * There are also cases where the work is loaded by a robot.

[Unpacking of Heavy Raw Material Cardboard Cases] In food factories, the handling process of raw materials involves physical strain due to the handling of heavy items and the working environment, raising concerns about injuries. There is a growing demand for automation from the perspective of labor-saving and improvement. Additionally, cutting the cardboard during unpacking tends to generate paper dust, which can lead to foreign matter contamination. [Automatic Unpacking, Extraction of Raw Materials, and Compact Empty Case Discharge] This device automatically unpacks cardboard cases containing food raw materials without damaging the contents inside, extracts the contents, and discharges the empty cases. [Features] ■ Completes both the unpacking of cardboard cases and the extraction of workpieces in one device ■ The device is compact (L2,086 W1,900 H2,116), allowing for flexible consideration of installation locations ■ Reduces paper dust generation by cutting the tape instead of the box itself ★ We will exhibit at "FOOMA JAPAN" held at Tokyo Big Sight from June 10 to 13, showcasing this device along with high-performance dewatering machines and multi-type knife sharpening robots. Our booth number is "East 7J-23." We sincerely look forward to your visit.
