Takai,Japan's largest and best known manufacturer of equipment for making tofu (bean curd) and soymilk, was founded inn 1917. Unlike other compa-nies, we produce a full line of equipment rannging from inexpensive tools suited for traditional small-scale production to Japan's largest and most modern machinery capable of producing over 300,000 cakes of tofu daily . Our equipment is designed for the preparation of all the sesven basic type of japanese tofu as well as soymilk on the scale of your choice to meet your budget.
During the 1960s and 1970s Takai gained a great deal of experience exporting our equipment to large and small Japanese - and Chinese-run manufacturers of tofu and soymilk in the United States, Europe and Southeast Asia. Then in early 1977, with the rapid growth of interest in soyfood in the West, we began to work closely with William Shurtleff, ruhtor of The books of tofu and tofu & Soymilk Production, to develop our first -and the world's first - English - language catalog, which appeared in August 1977. Since that time we have become the world's leading supplier of tofu and soymilk equipment. We have sold our equipment to hundreds of new and established companies worldwide, and we are constantly upgrading our equipment materials and quality ( as with stainless steel ) to meet the highest standards. To give you the widest possible choice of the best equipment available, we also include a number of items produced by other well-known Japanese manufacturers.
Ordering : After carefully studying this catalog together with Tofu & Soymilk Production, decide exactly what equipment you will need. If after careful study, you still have important questions, please phone, fax or write us. Use the enclosed order form to submit your order and send a check or money order to cover it ( see attached price sheet ). Please include tofu piece dimensions and electrical requirements ( phase, voltage, cycles ) when ordering.
Delivary : Delivary will ordinarily take 6 to 16 weeks from the time your order is placed until it arrives in your port, and another 1to 2 weeks for cross country shipping. Special air freight rates are also available.
Phase, Voltage and Current : Many Japanese motors are 3 - phase and work best on 220 (or 200) volts and 50 or 60 cycles. If you have single phase, you can either (a) bring in 3-phase, which is expen - sive, (b) convert to 3-phase with a transformer, or (c) order special single phase motors ( which are weaker). Each 3 - phase motor requires a magnetic switch and breaker.

Spare or broken parts may be ordered from us at standerd prices. Each customer is responsible for ordinary maintenance and repair, just as for an automobile. All equipment is distributed without the use of an exclusive agent.
