Update contents: Fully automatic rotary LP gas filling machine ACAD (14 stations)
Update date: November 2023
Delivery destination: Horikawa Sangyo Co., Ltd. Soka Second Factory

The trigger for this renewal was the "Delivery Rationalization Subsidy," which was provided to liquefied petroleum gas sales companies with the aim of resolving labor shortages and improving the efficiency of delivery operations.

Horikawa Sangyo Co., Ltd. closed the filling station at its Soka Factory, resulting in an increase in the volume of filling at its Soka Second Factory. In response, the company added a cylinder storage area and a stationary filling machine, and extended filling times, among other measures, to continue operations. Given this background, the company decided to upgrade its filling machine to a fully automatic one in order to achieve more efficient operation.

Previously, they had been using filling machines made by other companies, but the decisive factor in adopting the fully automatic rotary filling machine ACAD was the sense of security gained from the image of UNIDACK as being fully automatic and the actual delivery track record, as well as the fact that the existing pit could be reused without any wood working.

There are many cylinder lined up in the cylinder storage area even in the summer.

1) Manual work is limited to organizing and inspecting cylinder, reducing filling time
②It has a mechanical control function, so it can be used safely

, despite the increased filling volume, the filling time has decreased since the filling machine was updated. At peak times, 50 to 60 tons are filled per day, but the operation is progressing smoothly with sufficient capacity. This significant reduction in manpower is a step towards creating a comfortable working environment with an eye to the future.The biggest benefit is that

Furthermore, the machine control automatically stops filling if a malfunction occurs, and the error message is easy to understand, so our customers have praised the system for being able to work with peace of mind.

Furthermore, the fact that there is a Kubota support center nearby allows for quick response to maintenance and problems, which is also highly appreciated.

It can also be installed in limited spaces.

Going forward, the company will continue to work towards reforms such as achieving carbon neutrality, strengthening digital transformation, contributing to the local community, and improving the work environment. Horikawa Sangyo Co., Ltd. is a company to watch, as it continues to grow and develop in a rapidly changing society, in addition to providing a stable energy supply. We hope that this LPG filling machine upgrade will help in these efforts.
