Labor-Saving Proposal for 2-Line, 4-Person Hand-Rolled Rice Ball Production (FDK)
This is a labor-saving solution designed to ensure stable operation with minimal staff in the hand-rolled onigiri production process, where labor shortages are a major challenge.

Example of an automated rice ball production line in operation
By coordinating the operation of our machinery, we have achieved a manufacturing process that does not rely on manual labor. You can see for yourself how this minimizes variations in workmanship and ensures stable production with consistent quality.
Proprietary Technology
01
Reduced Staffing and Workload
・Capable of producing up to 3,600 units per hour—a 12% increase in speed compared to conventional models
・The “Raku-Raku Lift” allows for the loading of up to 8-tier stacks of rice trays directly onto the conveyor! It can also handle “Raku-Raku” rice (15 kg)
・Automation of the filling and product box loading processes enables a reduction of two staff members per line
・Full automation of the entire hand-rolled onigiri production process

02
High-Quality Rice Ball Production
・The volume of the rice ball mold has increased by 26% compared to conventional models, enabling the production of fluffy rice balls
・The filling device ensures a consistent, uniform amount of filling is dispensed
・Inspection equipment is integrated to sort out defective products (metal detection, packaging, weighing, POS/POP)
High-quality, fluffy rice balls where the rice and filling blend perfectly

Reduced Production Losses
・By using the Fluffy Onigiri Dispenser (FDK) to dispense rice, the rice weight remains stable, achieving a 95% success rate in dispensing within ±2g of the target weight
・Since the system can top up to a minimum of 2g, precise gram adjustments are possible
Improved Yield! Increased production efficiency through stable production
Gram accuracy depends on the condition of the product

Implementation Simulation
We will use a graph to clearly illustrate how staffing and costs change depending on the implementation plan.
With the introduction of two production lines, the investment will be recouped in the fifth year.
