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.

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

In aquaculture, the "killing" and "cooling" immediately after catch are the most important processes that influence the shipping price. Especially for high-value aquaculture fish, traditional crushed ice cannot avoid cooling unevenness and damage to the fish body, leading to freshness deterioration. The continuous silk ice system "Sea Ice" enhances the quality of branded fish to the utmost by cooling to the core at an overwhelming speed without damaging the cells of the aquaculture fish. 【Usage Scenarios in Aquaculture】 - Rapid cooling immediately after catch and killing: Instantly lowers the fish's body temperature and delays rigor mortis. - Transportation to processing plants: Maintains high freshness without damaging the fish body. - Processing and filleting: Thoroughly manages low temperatures to suppress drip loss. 【Four Features Specialized for Aquaculture】 - "Silk Ice" that does not damage the fish body: Fine ice particles gently envelop the fish body. Unlike traditional angular ice (crushed ice), it does not cause scratches on the surface or eyes of the fish, making it ideal for aquaculture fish that require visual appeal. - Overwhelming cooling speed: Liquid ice closely adheres to the entire surface of the fish. - Maintains freshness during long-distance transport and export to the destination. - Suppresses bacterial growth: Rapid cooling and low-temperature maintenance effectively inhibit bacterial proliferation.

Currently, most salted fillets are produced using a soaking process. This method involves soaking the fillets in brine for an extended period (from overnight to three days) and then allowing them to rest for maturation, primarily used for red salmon and silver salmon. However, a previous study by a public testing agency on "soaking conditions for salted salmon and the extract components of the products" revealed that the longer the soaking time, the more umami is lost from the fish flesh. The injector is a groundbreaking device that directly injects brine or seasoning liquid into the fish flesh. It shortens the seasoning time, minimizes loss of seasoning liquid, and improves yield. Additionally, it allows for concentration control and offers the benefit of making the product more delicious! When tasting the product, there are even surprised voices asking, "Why is this so delicious?" Besides producing salted fillets, it is also possible to inject seasoning liquid to develop "your company's original products." 【Features】 ■ Enhanced product flavor ■ Production of products with uniform salt concentration ■ Significant reduction in working time ■ Improved product yield ■ Freedom to change salt concentration, etc. *For more details, please contact us or download the catalog.

The production of salmon fillets often relies on skilled artisans, as the size, thickness, and meatiness can vary from one fish to another, making it a task that requires the artisan's expertise to cut them to the same weight. However, we propose a fixed-length filleting device that can produce salmon fillets in large quantities with high precision, even without a filleting artisan. The operation is simple, and it allows for large-scale processing. In addition to salmon, it can also handle other fish such as sablefish and Spanish mackerel (optional). 【Features】 - Fixed-length filleting device compatible with multiple fish species - Produces beautiful fillets with uniform surfaces and lengths through three-dimensional cutting - Processing capacity: 3100 cuts/hour (15 cuts per fillet) - Fish can be randomly fed (no pre-processing needed to match sizes before feeding) - Wide range of cutter rotation and tilt angles - Compact size that saves space - In addition to salmon, other fish species such as sablefish and Spanish mackerel can be accommodated with separate software (optional) For more details, please contact us or download the catalog.
