Contributing to Sustainable Food Supply and Food Culture
Providing Comprehensive Grain Processing Plants That Meet the World’s Food Needs
Building on processing technology for the world’s major grains—including rice, wheat, and corn—the SATAKE Group has expanded into a diverse range of grain fields, and provides solutions that support the world’s food supply through products and plants.
Leveraging the technological capabilities we have cultivated over many years as a manufacturer of grain processing machinery, we contribute to stable food supply and improved food quality by providing optimal machinery and plants tailored to the climate conditions, food culture, and customer needs of each region. In addition to developing and manufacturing equipment that supports the full range of processes from grain drying and preparation through to milling, we also have strengths in the design and engineering of integrated plants that bring these processes together.
“Shingin”: A New Sake Culture Pioneered by Tradition and Technological Innovation
SATAKE has developed “Shingin,” a new rice milling technology that supports sake culture.
Shingin is an innovative rice milling technology that focuses on the shape of the rice grain. By milling rice along its natural shape, it efficiently removes components that affect sake quality, contributing to improved quality in Japanese sake.
This technology offers new value by improving quality through the processing method itself, in contrast to conventional quality evaluation centered on the rice milling ratio, and contributes to a wider range of sake quality designs and the development of sake culture.
Achieving Optimal Grain Processing Through SATAKE’s Proprietary Technology
SATAKE has continued to innovate in grain processing technology ever since developing Japan’s first power-driven rice milling machine.
Through the proprietary technology we have cultivated since our founding, we have responded to food needs and quality requirements that change with the times, achieved optimal processing suited to the characteristics of each grain, and contributed to stabilizing quality and increasing added value.
In addition, by supporting the efficient operation of equipment, we also contribute to improved productivity and energy efficiency, helping our customers improve their business efficiency and profitability.
Furthermore, by combining these technologies with digital technology and data utilization, we achieve more advanced quality control and optimal operation, contributing to sustainable food production.
Technological Innovation and Value Creation Through DX/AI
Developed “KOMECT™,” a DX-Enabled Production Support System
SATAKE works to enhance the value of its products and services and to help solve social issues through digital technology and data utilization.
In 2025, we began offering “KOMECT,” a data utilization platform covering the entire rice production and processing process.
This service digitalizes the entire process from harvesting, drying and preparation, milling, and cooking, enabling data-driven decision-making that improves productivity, quality, labor savings, and efficiency. By connecting production with processing and distribution, it also contributes to advancing food production and building a sustainable food system.
Achieving Remote Monitoring and Labor Savings in Grain Drying Through DX
The SATAKE Group has developed the remote monitoring system for grain dryers, which has passed the safety inspection conducted by NARO (National Agriculture and Food Research Organization). This system enables real-time monitoring of operating conditions, abnormality detection and notification, and cloud-based data management, and also supports centralized management of multiple facilities. This helps reduce the burden of nighttime work and address labor shortages, and by paving the way toward unmanned operation in the future, it contributes to the development of sustainable agriculture.
Rice Quality Assurance
Providing an “Analysis Service” to Support Grain Quality Assurance
SATAKE quantifies data related to the quality and value of rice and other grains, and offers an analysis service that provides recommendations for achieving higher quality and greater added value. Drawing on our unique expertise as a company that handles the entire process from post-harvest drying through to cooking, we support our customers in improving their quality.

To ensure the reliability of its analysis services, SATAKE has established a quality management structure based on ISO/IEC 17025.
By operating in compliance with this standard, we ensure the accuracy, reliability, and impartiality of our analysis results, while also working to maintain and improve our technical capabilities and pursue continuous improvement.
Quality Assurance and Customer Value Creation Through Sorting and Processing Technology
The SATAKE Group strengthens quality assurance for rice and other grains, and provides technical support using its “Sorting and Processing Center” as part of its efforts to help improve the value of customers’ products.
At this Center, we conduct sorting and processing tests using raw material samples provided by customers, and verify and propose optimal sorting and processing methods suited to the characteristics of the raw materials and processing conditions. This provides evidence-based solutions to issues such as foreign matter contamination and quality variation that arise during the manufacturing process. Our high-precision sorting technology reliably removes foreign matter and defective products, helping to stabilize product quality and ensure safety.
In addition, by proposing process optimizations based on test results, we support our customers in strengthening their quality assurance systems and increasing added value.
SATAKE will continue to contribute to improved quality assurance for our customers’ products and a sustainable food supply through advanced sorting and processing technology and evidence-based proposals.
Enhancement of After-Sales Service
Total Customer Support for Safe and Stable Operation
The SATAKE Group has established a “Customer Support Center” within SATAKE Corporation to support stable operation and quality maintenance after products are introduced.
This Center provides high-quality services—including customer support, operational guidance, maintenance, inquiry response, and troubleshooting—delivered by specialized staff, covering a wide range of products from machinery and equipment installed in large facilities and factories to agricultural machinery, rice milling machines, and preserved foods.
In addition, with 24-hour, 365-day support, we respond promptly and accurately to equipment issues, and support stable operation by appropriately managing and utilizing operational data and important information. We also contribute to improving our customers’ operational skills through technical training on equipment operation and maintenance.
The SATAKE Group will continue to strengthen its total support, including preventive maintenance, helping to provide an environment in which customers can use our products with confidence and contributing to long-term value creation.
