Notice of Participation in the 36th West Japan Food Industry Creation Exhibition '26 (May 20, 2026 (Wed) - May 22 (Fri))

It is possible to defrost while still in boxes such as cardboard and Styrofoam! High-frequency defroster "Tempatron"!

Our unique food thawing technology allows for the thawing of frozen ingredients from the inside, minimizing temperature discrepancies between the center and surface, greatly contributing to improved yield. Additionally, high-frequency thawing can be done while the food is still in boxes such as cardboard or Styrofoam, eliminating the need to unpack and arrange them on shelves or trays. We present a machine that solves the thawing issues in food manufacturing settings. A comprehensive catalog that thoroughly explains the mechanism is available for viewing under "Catalog Download." If you would like a printed version, please request it by stating "Request for Catalog Booklet" when using the materials request form.

Utilize different frequencies to maintain quality and eliminate product variation! Thawing and heating in a short time! Would you like to thaw uniformly?

High-frequency thawing differs from microwave thawing. Microwaves, like those used in microwave ovens, have a very high heat generation characteristic when it comes to water. As thawing progresses, some parts of the product thaw and the ice melts, leading to concentrated heating in those areas and resulting in overheating, making uniform thawing difficult. Additionally, food materials are thick, and the short wavelength of microwaves causes power to be consumed at the surface, making it difficult for electromagnetic waves to reach the center. On the other hand, high-frequency waves have a longer wavelength compared to microwaves, allowing them to penetrate deeply into the product, ensuring that thick products do not loosen at the surface and achieve uniform thawing throughout the center, making them most suitable for thawing in the food industry.

• Food Processing Equipment

As a new heating process, why not challenge yourself with dielectric heating's "microwave heating"?

As a new heating process, how about "microwave heating"? It has a wide range of applications, including "heating," "drying," and "sterilization and disinfection treatment," and we can propose equipment types tailored to your processing needs. Microwave heating allows for high-efficiency heating in a short time by heating from within the material, and it is used for heating hollow fiber membranes used in dialysis treatment, as well as other medical products, resins, and fibers. Since there is no need to heat the surrounding air, energy efficiency can also be improved. It can be used in conjunction with other heat sources (such as hot air or steam). Additionally, there are methods to increase heating efficiency by reducing pressure within the furnace according to the situation. We will propose the optimal equipment type from various types of microwave heating devices.

• Other processing machines

Reducing food loss and unnecessary inventory, improving quality management! We will reduce waste in food manufacturing sites and contribute to the SDGs. *Examples of thawing provided.

A high-frequency thawing device that can thaw in time units of 5 to 30 minutes eliminates waste (food disposal loss) by thawing and warming the necessary amount at the necessary time. 【Seven Perspectives on Waste】 Waste from overproduction, waste from holding, waste from transportation, waste from processing itself, waste from inventory, waste from actions, waste from defective products and rework. (Source: Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries "Guide to Improving Productivity in the Restaurant and Ready-to-Eat Food Industries") To address the improvements outlined in the "Vision for Overcoming Labor Shortages in the Food Manufacturing Industry" (Source: Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries, July 11, 2019), high-frequency thawing devices are being utilized. 【Main Thawing and Heating Examples】 - Thawing and heating of butter, whipped cream, chocolate, cocoa mass and tempering, cake sponge, fruit juice, beef, pork, chicken, sausage, ham, side dishes, seafood, squid, octopus, and others. A collection of case studies on the introduction of high-frequency thawing devices (thawing of chicken, mackerel, and shirasu) is also included! For more details, please refer to the PDF materials. ★ Exhibiting at the Mobak Show and Meat Industry Exhibition! For details, please see the basic information. *If you have any questions regarding heating, drying, thawing, warming, sterilization, or pest control using high frequency/microwave, please refer to the PDF materials or contact us.

• Food Processing Equipment

No need for temperature adjustment since the day before, improved yield even with thawing on the day!

To improve the processing of chicken diced cuts at a poultry processing company, we introduced a "high-frequency thawing device." We received feedback that the thawing process, which used to be very labor-intensive, has been significantly improved! [Before Introduction] - With conventional refrigerator thawing, there was variability in thawing depending on the placement and arrangement, and items that were over-thawed required additional preparation, such as refreezing in the freezer, making the process very inefficient. Since shipping times are in the morning, it was common to start work early in the morning... [After Introduction] - The cuts are taken out of the freezer and thawed on the day of cutting. Now, with a more relaxed morning start, production can easily keep up. Additionally, because high-frequency thawing can thaw without temperature variation, the yield during cutting has also improved significantly! [Thawing Test Available] For more details, please download the catalog or contact us.

Advantech Toyo Co., Ltd. will exhibit at "INTERPHEX Week Tokyo 2026," held at Makuhari Messe in Chiba, showcasing the "28th INTERPHEX Japan" and the "8th Pharma Lab EXPO." This exhibition is one of Japan's largest specialized technology fairs, featuring a wide range of products, technologies, and services related to the research and manufacturing of pharmaceuticals and cosmetics. Pharmaceutical and cosmetic manufacturers from both domestic and international markets will attend, engaging in active business discussions with exhibiting companies. We will display various filter products, including gamma-ray sterilized capsule filters compliant with pharmaceutical regulations, low-extractable PES membrane products, and improved immunochromatography membrane filters. Additionally, we will present various proposals and products addressing "the issues and improvements of risks in laboratories" within our LABCOM business at our booth. We sincerely look forward to your visit.

What is required of on-site leaders is not just to manage daily operations. To uphold the three missions of the site—Quality (Q), Cost (C), and Delivery (D)—a system and perspective that “manages” the entire site is necessary. However, there are many voices expressing uncertainty, such as “I don’t know where to start” or “People don’t move even when I tell them.” Many of these issues stem not from “people” but from the “management system.” In this seminar, an instructor with a proven track record of training at Toyota-affiliated companies will explain how on-site management is conducted at Toyota and what is necessary for on-site leaders, incorporating practical exercises. *For more details, please download the PDF or contact us.
