ISHIGAKI Oceania

What ISHIGAKI Oceania does

ISHIGAKI Oceania Pty. Ltd. is a privately held Australian proprietary limited company headquartered in Malaga, Western Australia, operating as the wholly owned Australasian representative and sales subsidiary of Japanese parent ISHIGAKI Company Ltd. The entity markets, sells, and supports solid/liquid separation equipment — primarily the LASTA Filter Press (in MC and ISD configurations) and the ISHIGAKI Polishing Filter — across Australia and New Zealand, targeting enterprise customers in mining (mineral concentrate and tailings dewatering, leaching processing), industrial water and wastewater treatment, and aquaculture filtration. The underlying technology is mechanical separation: fully automated plate and frame pressure filters with a proprietary chain-connected plate opening mechanism, complemented by a rapid polishing system based on floating fiber media for high-volume, low-solids applications. The LASTA ISD variant is engineered to deliver high dry solids with minimal or no coagulant/flocculant chemical use, addressing waste water sludge dewatering and thin sticky cake industrial applications.

ISHIGAKI Oceania generates revenue through two streams: one-time sales of customized equipment engineered per customer application, and a usage-based test/hire rental fleet that includes an 800mm LASTA Filter Press installed in a portable 40ft shipping container, 360mm and 600mm test units, and a polishing filter test unit, all wired to Australian standards and used as proof-of-concept tools to validate performance and de-risk customer purchase decisions. The go-to-market is enterprise field sales with a small regional team covering Perth and Tasmania, supported by a corporate website and direct customer engagement rather than channel partners. The parent company holds over 100 registered and pending patents across Japan, the UK, USA, Germany, and France, and the group is certified to ISO9001 and ISO14001. No public pricing is disclosed; deals are scoped per application.
