Development Pipeline for Energy-Saving, Low-Priced and New-Application Products

「農産物生産現場の省力化等に資する施設園芸用暖房機器と施設園芸用ヒートポンプの併用（ハイブリッド）運転の推進による暖房機器売上や農業 ICT クラウドサービス売上等の拡大により、農産物生産者の生産性向上に当社は引き続き貢献して行くことで、業績の改善に取り組んで参ります。」

「We are also rolling out a fuel-conversion kit featuring a gas-fired burner that can be used with existing oil-fired greenhouse heaters, promoting reductions in CO2 emissions. We also worked on nozzle development for hydrogen burners in anticipation of using hydrogen fuel.」

「The hybrid operating control system we developed was certified in April 2024 as a foundation-establishment project under the Act on Promotion of the Transition to a Decarbonized and Sustainable Food System.」

「The hybrid operating control system we developed was also certified in April 2024 as a foundation-establishment project under the Act on Promotion of the Transition to a Decarbonized and Sustainable Food System. We have also completed development of an LPG gas burner that can be shared by oil-fired and gas-fired combustion chambers and used with existing greenhouse heaters.」

「To reduce the consumption of A-heavy oil, we developed a hybrid operating system that combines heat pumps powered by electricity and enables switching according to temperatures and other conditions inside protected-horticulture greenhouses. We also developed new greenhouse heaters and heat pumps equipped with communications devices, enabling remote monitoring and operation via smartphones and similar devices and allowing users to check CO2 emissions calculated from fuel-consumption data. In addition, we developed an LPG gas burner that can be shared by oil-fired and gas-fired combustion chambers and can also be used with existing greenhouse heaters.」

「The factory hot-air heater, or hot-air furnace, developed by the company has a heat-transfer surface area of less than 8 m3, as stipulated by Aichi Prefecture regulations, which are stricter than the Air Pollution Control Act. The company began selling it as a compact, high-output heater dedicated to space heating for factory personnel, achieving an output of 233 kW (200,000 kcal/h) while reducing management and operational burdens and making the equipment easier to install.」

「For protected-horticulture heat pumps, we launched in September of FY73 a remodeled version of the 10-horsepower model for cold climates launched in FY72, with reduced noise.」

「We developed and launched a high-performance hot-water generator for large-scale facilities to accommodate the larger scale of protected-horticulture greenhouses and the need for greater efficiency and cleaner exhaust emissions from heating equipment used for heating and CO2 supply, launching it in August of FY72. For protected-horticulture heat pumps, we developed a 10-horsepower model for cold climates and launched it in September of FY72. We are also developing a value-engineered model with reduced noise, scheduled for launch in July of FY73. Development of a compact high-output factory hot-air heater, or hot-air furnace, is continuing, with monitor sales scheduled to begin in September of FY73.」

「To accommodate the larger scale of protected-horticulture greenhouses and the need for greater efficiency and cleaner exhaust emissions from heating equipment used for heating and CO2 supply, we are developing a high-performance hot-water generator for large-scale facilities, with a launch targeted for the following consolidated fiscal year. For heat pumps for protected horticulture, we are developing a 10-horsepower model for cold climates, with a launch targeted for the following consolidated fiscal year. Development of a compact high-output factory hot-air heater, or hot-air furnace, is also continuing.」

「To accommodate the larger scale and higher eaves of protected-horticulture greenhouses, we developed and launched the V-Fan, which enables energy savings by effectively using heat that accumulates near the roof of the greenhouse. In response to growing demand for gas-fired and lower-cost CO2 generators, we developed and launched a low-cost compact gas-fired CO2 generator. We also developed and launched emergency toilets using waste tanks and similar facilities. In addition, we will continue planning new products using FRP tanks.」
