Improving the efficiency of fruit and vegetable packaging work has been featured as a case study on the website of Watari Co., Ltd.!

Improving the efficiency of the bagging process for fruits and vegetables and reducing the burden on operators! We are currently providing examples and proposal materials for a system that combines a bag opening machine and a closure binding machine.

By utilizing our "Model 865 Automatic Bundling System," it is possible to significantly reduce the packaging process for fresh produce. This document presents a proposal for a fresh produce packaging line using the familiar "Bag Closure" commonly used for bread fasteners and an automatic bundling machine. The document introduces the packaging line from bagging to boxing. It enables work efficiency, reduces operator burden, and standardizes operations. 【Content of the Document (Partial)】*Detailed explanations are provided with diagrams in the document. ＜Packaging Processing Capacity＞ Up to 50 bags/min ＜Proposed Line Configuration＞ ■ Quick Lock Model 865 Automatic Bundling System ・ Model 1082 Bag Tensioner ・ Bundling Conveyor 300W×2,000L ・ Infeed Conveyor 300W×300L *Options Bag Top Trimmer System / Cold Printer ■ Automatic Packaging Machine (Horizontal Pillow Packaging Machine) ■ Counting and Sorting Conveyor *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

Introducing ways to utilize the "Label Closer," which takes advantage of its characteristics that are always visible upon opening! The possibilities for use are endless depending on your ideas.

The "Label Closure," which not only secures the bag but also serves as an advertisement, stands out remarkably in the sales area and allows for differentiation from competitor products. (Please refer to the section "Related Links" below for the article titled “Introduction to the Integrated Advertising and Fastener: 'Label Closure'”) Since the label (advertising part) is completely custom-made, there are various ways to use it depending on your ideas. ■ For branding your product! ■ For promoting your company to customers! ■ For providing producer information or recipe suggestions! ■ For announcing campaigns! ■ For conducting surveys with QR codes! ■ For attracting repeat customers with coupons! Because it is a fastener that is seen every time the bag is opened and closed, it enables the delivery of "information you want to convey to consumers" effectively. Please find your unique way to utilize it.

We have updated the article on the website of the semi-custom system construction "Select Beam." When planning factories, logistics warehouses, and stores, "system construction" has become an effective means of achieving cost reduction and shortening construction periods. The rationality of system construction through thorough standardization is very high, and it is adopted in many projects. However, due to the differing characteristics of each manufacturer, many business owners find themselves wondering, "Which manufacturer is suitable for our plans?" and "Is it really optimal compared to conventional methods?" In this article, we will compare and introduce the basic knowledge of the advantages and disadvantages of system construction, as well as recommend manufacturers by purpose in a ranking format. ■ Semi-Custom System Construction "Select Beam" This is a unique method by Sakura Structure, and it is a "third option" that is less expensive than system construction. It is the most suitable method for low-rise long-span buildings such as stores, warehouses, factories, and logistics facilities, as well as high-rise buildings like hotels.

"Because the ground is poor, we have no choice but to use a structural slab." Such fixed notions of "over-design" unnecessarily drive up construction costs. In large space buildings such as warehouses, factories, and stores, the choice of floor slab type is one of the most significant variables affecting construction costs. What is important is to compare and verify the advantages and risks of each type, and to derive the optimal solution that is "suitable for the purpose" for the entire building. By reading this content, you will understand the following points: - Characteristics of the five main construction methods with different support forms - Recommended situations for adoption - Cost comparison examples of floor slabs "I am struggling with the dilemma of floor settlement risks and costs on weak ground." "I want to know the optimal solution for the site without being tied to a specific construction method." Construction companies and general contractor representatives facing such issues are encouraged to take a look.

Our company will be exhibiting at the "Hokuriku Technology Exchange Techno Fair 2026." Dates: October 23rd, 10:00 AM - 5:00 PM October 24th, 10:00 AM - 4:00 PM Venue: Fukui Prefectural Industrial Hall We look forward to your visit.
