Our Resource Center, established at our Inuyama Plant in 1976 to recover and reuse metals from plating process wastewater, collects and regenerates over 6,000 cylinder-type ion exchange towers annually for customers nationwide. By the end of March 2016, it had regenerated more than 250,000 towers.
Furthermore, we established the Sanshin RCS East Japan Satellite in Tokyo in 2016 to improve the efficiency of regenerating ion exchange towers.

Sanshin Seisakusho’s resource recovery center system is a system that realizes the recycling of resources by collecting resources (metals, chemicals, water, etc.) that would otherwise be discarded in individual processes at a “resource recovery center” and carrying out centralized sorting and recovery processing.

- 2016.5
- Selected as one of the “300 SMEs and small businesses that are thriving” by the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry.
- 2016.11
- Sanshin RCS East Japan Satellite opens in Tokyo as a new collection and regeneration base for ion exchange towers.

At the highly functional Resource Recycling Center, the chromate recovery equipment concentrates and refines the chromate eluent to the recycling standard value.The copper and nickel that were previously turned into sludge and recycled at the Yamamoto smelter are now recovered as metal sheets using roll-type electrodeposition equipment, improving resource recovery efficiency and reducing waste.
In addition, we were able to reduce the overall amount of chemicals used by reusing some of the waste acid and alkali from the regenerated chemicals as wastewater treatment chemicals.
Furthermore, a portion of the wastewater is desalinated and reused, reducing water usage.
