Company information

Pioneer of sorting machines, including optical sorting machines.

Our company was established in 1935 when our founder, Zenichi Hattori, discovered that green tea leaves and stems could be sorted using the phenomenon of frictional electrification. At the same time, we invented the electrostatic tea sorting machine. In 1962, we commercialized Japan's first color sorting machine, and over the years, we have developed various sorting machines as a pioneer in sorting technology in Japan. Our top priority has always been customer satisfaction, and our motto has been to never give up until we achieve high-quality sorting. The results of our development efforts are reflected in our current products.

Business Activities

Our products are classified into three types: optical sorting machines that sort by light, air sorting machines that sort by weight, and electrostatic sorting machines that sort by friction charging phenomena and dielectric constant. By combining these, we can propose the optimal sorting line tailored to our customers' needs. They are used for the removal of foreign substances and defective products in various foods, industrial materials, and pharmaceuticals, and recently, the application range has expanded to include sorting machines using AI-based image processing and sorting machines for recycling. 【Awards】 ■ 25th Nissho Excellent Food Machinery, Materials, and Components Award "Machinery Division" Winner Awarded Product: Color Sorting Machine for Wet Foods "UDW" Series ■ 2020 Kyoto Small and Medium Enterprises Excellent Technology Award ■ 64th Kyoto Prefecture Invention and Contribution Award
