Cartons are used for quality inspection of agricultural products and are also utilized during the acceptance inspection of grains at rice mills and flour mills. Among them, the material of "soft cartons" is an elastic polymer compound that has moderate flexibility, preventing damage from impacts such as drops. Additionally, when transferring samples from the carton to other containers, it is possible to deform part of it into a shape that makes pouring easier. The material also demonstrates excellent properties in terms of resistance to organic solvents and static electricity, and there is no emission of harmful substances designated by the PRTR concerning environmental safety. The raw materials, polypropylene, additives, and pigments used are all approved by the FDA (U.S. Food and Drug Administration) and comply with the EU's RoHS directive, ensuring safety. *For more details, please contact us or refer to the catalog.*

The "Brown Rice and White Rice Brightness Meter C-600" is a brightness meter for measuring the degree of whiteness, or "brightness," of both brown rice and white rice. It can also measure the brightness of washed rice. There is a high correlation between "brightness" and "milling yield," making it useful for milling management. The measurement method is simple: just insert the sample case containing the sample into the measurement section. The brightness and the number of measurements will be displayed digitally on the main display immediately. The display uses a highly visible fluorescent display tube, making it easy for anyone to see and obtain the brightness value. Additionally, by using the included sample cup and quantitative shooter, you can consistently set a fixed amount of sample, reducing individual differences caused by variations in how the sample is packed. This is a new brown rice and white rice brightness meter that is simple, easy to use, and excels in accuracy and stability. 【Features】 ■ Quick confirmation and management of milling yield ■ Improved thermal stability and longer lifespan with blue LED light source ■ Measurement possible after approximately 20 seconds of warm-up after startup *For more details, please contact us or refer to the catalog.

The maturation of rice occurs when daily temperatures are measured from the heading date, and the cumulative value reaches approximately 1000°C, which is considered the peak and the optimal harvesting time. Early harvesting of rice results in many immature grains, while late harvesting poses a risk of panicle splitting. Harvesting at the right time guarantees the maximum yield and significantly contributes to quality improvement. 【Features】 ■ Notifies the optimal harvesting time for rice based on cumulative temperature ■ Manages four fields within a radius of 2 km with one unit ■ Comes with a sunshade hood and support poles *For more details, please download the PDF or feel free to contact us.

This is a device for observing the external quality of white rice and brown rice. It is designed so that the background of the sample turns blue, allowing for clear identification of the characteristics of white rice and brown rice. It also comes with a sample plate that can be rotated while checking the angle, as well as a magnifying lens. 【Features】 ■ Easily identify the shape and color of rice ■ Magnify and observe brown rice and white rice *For more details, please download the PDF or feel free to contact us.

The "RN-700" is a grain quality assessment device equipped with a newly developed image recognition engine. It captures images of rice on a tray while changing the light source and processes multiple images taken. It assesses the quality of each individual grain of rice. Operation is simple; just spread the rice on the tray and set it. The results are automatically output. The accuracy aims to match that of a human inspector, while the measurement of grain count and result analysis are performed at a speed surpassing that of humans. 【Features】 ■ Accurate with three images ■ Assessment results tailored to the application (Display on the main unit, printed output from the built-in printer, rear panel, and external output) ■ Detailed assessment results can be checked immediately *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

We would like to share the development story of the brown rice whiteness meter "C-600." This device, which measures "whiteness," a term that is generally unfamiliar, is designed for what kind of applications, and how is it utilized? We spoke with three individuals involved in its development. You can view the details of the interview through the related link. *For more information, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

The "Electric Hulling Machine TR-260" is an electric hulling machine designed to create brown rice samples for electric resistance-type rice and wheat moisture meters. Operation is extremely simple; just press a button and place the rice husks into the hopper. The hulling process takes only a short time, effectively separating the husks from the brown rice. The amount hulled per operation is approximately 20g. This is a must-have device for moisture measurement in agricultural facilities such as agricultural experiment stations, laboratories, and rice centers, as well as for use as an auxiliary device for moisture testing. 【Features】 ■ Produces 20g of brown rice sample in about 60 seconds ■ Separates husks and brown rice, storing them in separate cases ■ Sample inlet cover prevents samples from spilling out ■ Inspection auxiliary equipment such as RC, CE, etc. *For more details, please download the PDF or feel free to contact us.

Insect damage and other defects can make the appearance unappealing, and broken rice can become mushy and have a poor texture, leading to complaints. When visually assessing the quality of appearance, differences can arise depending on the observer and lighting conditions, which can lead to discrepancies during transactions. The RN-700 grain particle analyzer serves as an objective and standardized "ruler" that quantifies grain count and ratios for each item. You can utilize the measurement values as evaluation criteria when buying or selling rice. ◇ Simple operation: just spread it on the tray and insert it ◆ PC software allows you to check image data of each grain (optional) ◇ Widely adopted by rice wholesalers and milling factories nationwide ◆ Specification confirmation from the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries regarding "inspection standards for agricultural products based on machine assessment" You can verify the accuracy and usability with a demo unit. If you are interested, please contact us.

Broken rice causes starch to leak out during cooking, resulting in a mushy texture and poor quality. Measuring the ratio of broken and cracked grains during the acceptance inspection of milled rice and before cooking can help prevent troubles and complaints during cooking. ◇ Simple operation: just spread it on the tray and insert it ◆ PC software allows you to check image data of each grain (optional) ◇ Widely adopted by rice wholesalers and milling factories nationwide You can verify the accuracy and ease of operation with a demo unit.
