3 Location & Branches

Saigon Satake Food Enterprise, a branch of Ho Chi Minh City Food Joint Stock
Company, is situated close to Saigon Trade Port in the southern part of the city. Between the
factory and the places where raw rice is purchased (mostly from the western provinces), the
typical transportation distance is between 100 and 150 kilometers. Additionally, it is typically
roughly 20 kilometers between the manufacturing and Saigon Port. Such a short distance
makes it so easy to ship goods to HCMC's domestic marketplaces and distribute them there.

The branch has 2 workshops that were constructed very closely together. Both are
situated in Tan Tuc commune, Binh Chanh District, HCMC, on Highway 1A. Tan Tuc's rice
processing facility is smaller and less productive than Saigon Satake's main factory.

1.3.1 Factory of Satake Saigon Food

The 1988-built Saigon Satake facility is situated at 9 Nguyen Huu Tri, Tan Tuc
Commune, Binh Chanh District, HCMC, and has 16 silos with a capacity of up to 25,000 tons
and a storage space of up to 6794m2.

Production capacity: Two lines for milling and polishing rice are included. The capacity
of one of them is 10 tons of rice per hour, while the capacity of the other is 5 tons of rice per
hour. Additionally, this facility contains two optical sorters and a drying tower with the
capacity to reduce the moisture in rice by around 1.5%.

1.3.2 Tan Tuc Rice Processing Factory

The Tan Tuc Rice Processing Factory, which opened in 2011, is situated at 3/6 Nguyen
Huu Tri, Tan Tuc Commune, Binh Chanh District, HCMC. It has a storage area of 1223 m 2, a
capacity of 1500 tons, including warehouses that adhere to HACCP standards, and a total
carrying capacity of 1500 tons.

Production capacity: 1 rice milling and polishing plant, installed in 2011, with an hourly
capacity of 8–12 tons of rice. Sifting equipment, grain picking equipment, drying towers,
optical sorters, and packing systems with weighing and pressing equipment are also available.
One of them is a weighing apparatus imported from Japan that has a pressing machine built in
and requires no manual operation. However, because the machines' productivity is not
consistent, the plant only.

1.6. Waste treatment and Hygiene

1.6.1. Waste treatment 

● Waste water: Mainly domestic wastewater and water for machine cleaning so it is

not significantly polluting, which can be discharged directly through sewer

system. 

● Emissions: Currently, the factory only conducts the drying process by electricity,

so there is no toxic gas. Therefore, emissions can be safely evacuated by exhaust

systems. 
 ● Industrial dust: Mostly is bran in powder form, which is treated by storing in its

deposit chamber. 
1.6.2. Hygiene 
● Apply industrial hygienic processes thoroughly and frequently to the production
line.
● Sanitize before and after each production batches and everyday. 
1.7. Occupational safety and fire prevention

1.7.1. Occupational safety

Always follow these regulations:

Operators must understand and follow the safety notes before operating the machines.

Be cautious while interacting with or working near moving parts and high position parts.

Always seriously follow occupational safety and technical safety guidance.

Before operating, check whether equipment is damaged. If there is any damage, it must
be reported to the director and security department. No one should approach the
damaged machines without permission.

Each machine must have a file that informs parameters, process and regulations of that
machine.

Ensure that the feeding and loading process is done properly so that the machines will
not be overloaded.

Pay attention to unusual sounds or the caution signals from the machines to prevent
accidents.

Maintain devices and equipment frequently.

1.7.2. Fire prevention

It is essential to install an approachable and widespread water pipe system in the factory.

Cause of the dire hazard:

 ● Electrical accident.
● Violation of the fire prevention rules.

To prevent flame accident and hazard:

● Proposing specific fire prevention rules for each area and process.
● Learn and apply the guidelines recommended by The Department of Fire
