Hiroshima, Japan; October 7, 2019 - On September 14th, Satake Corporation held its first seminar for its new semi-assembled rice processing system "Reach" at the Solair Forum, Manila, Philippines.

The seminar was attended by 31 participants from existing rice mills along with investors who seeking opportunities in the rice industry. "Many were interested in low initial cost and faster returns on investment. Satake also received several serious inquiries for its products including the real-time yield monitoring system" according to Hiroto Ishima, sales representative from Satake.

REACH is a semi-assembled rice milling plant incorporating all receiving, pre-cleaning, husking, milling, optical sorting, and packing stage equipment. It is designed to maximize the installation efficiency and cost performance by utilizing unitized components manufactured in Satake's Thailand production facility. The result is an astonishing 2 weeks of onsite-installation time compared to the usual 3 to 4 months. For regions where they experience multiple harvests annually, this will allow rice mill owners to start up a production line before the next harvest season and maximize investment return. The line-up currently consists of SYSTEM 7.0 and SYSTEM 3.0, delivering 7.0 and 3.0 ton per hour per hour paddy processing capacity respectively.

Satake plans to hold similar seminars in Asia and Africa region to further promote the efficiency and benefit of REACH.
