<About Saiko Engineering / Okitomo> This is an introduction to our company, which handles Japan's only air flow introduction type microwave vacuum dryer.
Our company was founded in October 1987 and is engaged in the design and development of machines in the fields of roasting and drying. Since our establishment, we have been manufacturing roasting machines for Ito En's barley tea, and currently, Ito En holds about 45% of the domestic market share for barley tea, with the majority of this produced using our roasting machines. On the other hand, in the drying field, we have successfully commercialized the world's first air-flow type microwave vacuum dryer. This machine can dry materials such as vegetables and fruits without compromising their color and flavor, while achieving high thermal efficiency. In addition to food, it can also be used for the concentration of cellulose nanofiber solutions, which are gaining attention as lightweight and high-strength new materials derived from plants, as well as for the production of catalysts essential for hydrogen-powered vehicles. Amidst the growing focus on a decarbonized society and the SDGs, it has become a core technology with future potential. 【Our Strengths】 ■ First in the world to commercialize the air-flow type microwave vacuum dryer ■ Contributing to a decarbonized society and the SDGs ■ Connection with the community ┗ Our diligent efforts have led to the establishment of a friendship city partnership between Miyako Island and Fujieda City. *For more details, please refer to our catalog or feel free to contact us.
