Ecology

Solar Panel Power Generation System / 太陽能發電系統
The roof spaces of　the factory and parking lot are used to generate clean energy with solar panels. The generated electric power is used for the factory's lighting or sold, helping us save power.
利用工廠及停車場的屋頂等空間，利用離我們最近的潔淨能源——太陽能發電。獲得的電力用在工廠內的照明等，或者賣電，並致力於節電。

Gas Storage Tank / 燃氣儲存缸
The stored LP gas is mainly used for the boilers and gas heat pump air conditioners. These air conditioners heat and cool by operating compressors with a gas engine instead of an electric motor. Not using any electricity means that even in summer when demand for power increases, power consumption can be kept at the same level as winter, equalizing power costs.
儲存的液化石油氣主要用在鍋爐及燃氣熱泵空調。燃氣熱泵空調代替馬達，作為燃氣渦輪發動機推動壓縮機，以提供冷暖氣。由於無需電力，即使在電力需求大增的夏季也能把消耗電力維持在與冬季相約的程度，以平衡用電。

Drainage Treatment Facility / 污水處理設施
The contaminated water generated from production is filtered biologically by a special hollow fiber membrane, a type also used in water filters. It is then drained after being made even cleaner than the nearby Yoshino River.
製造過程中所產生的污水經微生物活性處理，再經過用作淨水器的特殊濾膜——中空纖維膜，排出的水比工廠前的清流——吉野的水還要乾淨。

Sprinklers / 灑水器
Sprinklers are installed on the factory roofs that sprinkle them with water in summer to lower the temperature inside the factory and reduce power consumption.
工廠的屋頂設有灑水器，夏季時通過灑水降低工廠內溫度，以節省用電。

LP Gas Boiler / 燃氣鍋爐
Instead of the cheap heavy oil used in general boilers, we use eco-friendly clean gas energy that emits less carbon dioxide, nitrogen oxides, and sulfur oxides, which are said to cause global warming, air pollution, and acid rain.
In addition, we have introduced a high-efficiency boiler that uses a waste heat exchanger to achieve 96% efficiency, and save additional energy by collecting the drain water (condensed from steam).
與一般使用便宜的重油的鍋爐不同，本工廠的燃氣鍋爐選用造成全球暖化、空氣污染及酸雨的二氧化碳、氮氧化物、硫氧化物排出量少，非常環保的綠色能源。
而且，本工廠投入使用廢氣加熱器，效率高達96%的高效率鍋爐。另外也會回收蒸汽凝結而成的水，以節省能源。

Membrane Degasifier / 膜除氣裝置
Chemicals such as boiler compounds are generally used to prevent corrosion inside boilers, but we have introduced a membrane degasifier as part of our drive to produce additive-free food. Corrosion is caused by oxygen contained in water. We remove the oxygen by passing the water through a membrane rather than using chemicals.
一般的鍋爐為防止內部的腐蝕都會使用清罐劑，敝公司為貫徹對「無添加食品的追求」，在鍋爐中投入膜除氣裝置。水所含的氧是腐蝕的原因，通過膜時水中的氧會被去除，所以並不需要使用藥品。

Cooling Tower / 冷卻水塔
A large amount of coolant is constantly required to operate the vacuum concentrator we use to concentrate tomatoes, etc.
In the cooling tower, we cool the heated coolant that's passed through the vacuum concentrator's heat exchanger, then reuse it. This vastly cuts the amount of water used.
濃縮蕃茄等時使用的真空濃縮裝置一般需要大量冷卻水。
敝公司選用冷卻水塔冷卻經過真空濃縮裝置的熱交換器後溫度提升的水，並循環再用以大幅減少用水量。

Diesel Engine Power Generator / 柴油引擎發電機
In order to reduce peak power consumption during the summer months, we have introduced a demand control system and diesel engine power generator. The generator is also intended to be used as a power supply in the event of a disaster.
為減低夏季電力顛峰時的用電量，敝公司投入需求管理系統及使用柴油引擎的自家發電機設備。柴油引擎發電機也能在災害發生時提供電力。

Compost Yard / 堆肥場
To minimize waste, we compost the peel from organic fruits and vegetables and the sludge accumulated from drainage treatment using only natural energy, not electric power.
不使用電力，通過使用自然能源將有機蔬果的皮等堆肥化，以儘可能減少垃圾排出量。
