We will exhibit at the 16th Agriculture WEEK, held from October 7-9, 2026, at Makuhari Messe. At our booth (29-1), we plan to display a multi-purpose electric dryer, a CO₂ application machine, and measuring instruments for grains. We look forward to your visit.
Shizuoka Seiki Co., Ltd. will exhibit at International Logistics Exhibition 2026, held at Tokyo Big Sight from September 8 to 11, 2026. At booth W4-D28, the company plans to display evaporative air coolers, humidifiers, and electric heaters. Visitors are warmly welcome.
We extend our heartfelt sympathies to everyone affected by the 2026 earthquake centered in Kumamoto and offer our sincere condolences to those who lost their lives. We pray for everyone's safety and an early recovery for the affected areas.
Shizuoka Seiki Co., Ltd. announced two new products: the GBR8PS low-temperature produce storage unit and the SCS-40SIIIW color sorter. The GBR8PS is a limited-edition model that retains the performance of the GBR series and adds multi-purpose space; shipments are scheduled to begin in mid-July 2026. The SCS-40SIIIW handles both brown and polished rice, retaining the performance of the brown-rice-only SCS-40SIII while adding selectable polished-rice sorting.
Shizuoka Seiki Co., Ltd. will exhibit at AGRI EXPO Niigata 2026, held at Toki Messe Niigata Convention Center from February 25 to 27, 2026. At booth 4-24, it plans to display multi-purpose electric dryers, CO₂ enrichment units, and grain measuring instruments. Visitors are welcome.
The GBR series succeeds the GBX series, which has been sold since 2017, and retains its core performance. In addition to the GBX series' established energy efficiency, the new models use an environmentally conscious refrigerant and improved anti-corrosion treatment for the refrigeration unit. A double-lock feature enhances security, and the units provide stable cooling at ambient temperatures up to 40°C. Shipments are scheduled to begin in late May 2026.
The popular HG125NII forced-air heater has been upgraded and relaunched as the HG125NIII. Its two-stage combustion system lets users select the combustion level, with a runtime of 16 hours on high and 21 hours on low. The tank bottom is made of corrosion-resistant zinc-nickel, and a dirt-resistant cover is standard on the outer cylinder. Live product demonstrations are available on request.

We provide guidance on responding to flood damage to dryers, refrigerated storage units, and other products. If there is any danger, please contact your nearest dealer or sales office. A PDF explains the steps to take after flooding.
