    Water purification system using Cova Technology's silver ion technology

    Koba Technology (Higashi-ku, Hamamatsu City) has developed a water purification system (photo) that applies its unique silver ion technology. It can produce 200 liters of water per hour for domestic use from sewage water from rivers and other sources. Then, after sterilization in two tanks containing silver ceramic balls of 6 mm and 2 mm in diameter, the reverse osmosis membrane filter removes even the smallest particles. The deodorizing effect was also confirmed. The device is small, with a tank capacity of 100ml, and can be carried by a light truck. The price, excluding consumption tax, is 2 million to 2.5 million yen. It is expected to be used for bathing and toilets in times of disaster, as well as for cooling water in factories. It is easy to handle and maintain, and President Kobayashi hopes to export it to emerging countries. Photo taken on November 13, 2019, credit: Nikkan Kogyo Shimbun / Kyodo News Images

      Royal Holdings' Disaster Relief Cooking Truck

      Bringing the taste of in-flight meals to disaster relief. Royal Holdings Co., Ltd. has introduced a "food truck (photo)" to provide meals in times of disaster, using a renovated two-ton truck equipped with a kitchen function. The company plans to use the two-ton truck as a kitchen to provide rapid support in the affected areas. The food truck is capable of cooking up to 800 meals per hour of food produced in its own central kitchen. We have been providing meals in the event of a disaster, but we are now working to create a system that will allow us to move more flexibly. The truck is equipped with an oven and a gas stove, and is designed to serve food similar to the in-flight meals supplied to airlines, but for a smaller number of people. The investment, including renovation costs, was about 15 million yen. The company hopes to contribute to disaster relief through hot meals.
