The fluororesin coating suppresses the adhesion of steamed rice to various parts in the sake brewing process!

This is an introduction to development and solution examples related to food products. In the sake brewing process, rice, which is the raw material, is steamed in a kettle and transported on a conveyor while being spread out using a crusher roll, but the steamed rice adheres to various components, hindering smooth transportation and mixing. Moreover, the residue left on parts and equipment significantly affects quality and hygiene, necessitating thorough cleaning, which places a burden on the workers. When applying a release agent simply, the hassle and cost of reapplying it after cleaning also posed challenges. Therefore, we proposed a fluororesin coating to prevent adhesion on transportation components such as the steamed rice kettle, crusher rolls, and rocker valves. [Challenges] ■ Application: Food-related ■ Adhesion of steamed rice to various components in the sake brewing process ■ Burden on workers due to thorough cleaning ■ Hassle and cost of reapplying release agents after cleaning *For more details, please feel free to contact us.
