About Us
Act Design Co., Ltd. is a technology company that transforms food by-products and underused resources into new food ingredients through its proprietary low-temperature radiant-heat drying technology.
We provide more than drying equipment.
From raw material evaluation and drying-condition development to application development and commercialization, we work with customers to create new value from food resources.

Do you have any troubles like these?
✓Are you looking for a practical way to turn food by-products and underused resources into new ingredients and products?
✓Do you need a drying process that helps retain the color, aroma, and natural characteristics of food materials?
✓Are you struggling to establish repeatable drying conditions and transfer them from trials to production?
✓ Do you need support from raw material evaluation and drying-condition design through application development and commercialization?
Let us handle it!
Our Strength
1More Than Drying Equipment
We support the full process—from evaluating each raw material and designing drying conditions to developing applications and moving toward commercialization.
2Low-Temperature, Programmable Drying
Our proprietary radiant-heat drying technology uses electromagnetic waves generated by minerals to transfer heat efficiently into food materials, enabling low-temperature, rapid, and energy-efficient drying. Programmable operation supports repeatable drying conditions while helping retain color, aroma, and other natural characteristics as much as possible.
3From Evaluation to Production Scale
Our product lineup supports each stage of development—from compact evaluation trials with ACT-TABLE to food-factory processing with DRY-ACT I and larger-scale production with DRY-ACT II.
FOOD BY-PRODUCTS INTO
MARKETABLE INGREDIENTS
Food by-products such as sweet potato peels, brewer’s spent grain, and apple pomace may still contain valuable color, aroma, nutrients, and functional potential.
ACT DESIGN evaluates the material, verifies suitable drying conditions, and explores possible applications—helping customers turn underused food resources into new ingredients and products.
REPEATABLE OPERATION
Programmable operation helps reproduce drying conditions and maintain consistency from trials to scale-up.
SUPERHEATED STEAM PROCESSING
STEAM-ACT
STEAM-ACT is a compact unit that supplies stable superheated steam at high temperatures and atmospheric pressure. It enables pretreatment, sterilization, and other heat-processing applications, and can be combined with drying systems for advanced upcycling and research.
