[Asia Economy Reporter Moon Hyewon] Lock&Lock announced on the 15th that it has launched a ‘vacuum rice container’ that stores rice in optimal condition. It will be sold on Hyundai Home Shopping from 4:40 PM on the 16th for one hour.

The Lock&Lock vacuum rice container is a small home appliance that maintains the freshness of rice for a long time using automatic vacuum technology. It is a product that alleviates consumers’ concerns who have difficulties storing rice due to moisture and rice weevil infestation during the upcoming summer season.

It is equipped with the ‘Smart Lock System’ technology that automatically maintains a vacuum state every 3 hours. By applying a pressure force of 20 kilopascals (kPa), it removes internal oxygen and moisture to create a vacuum state, minimizing rice deterioration caused by air contact.

It is also notable that it utilizes Lock&Lock’s representative sealing technology, ‘hollow silicone.’ The hollow silicone, which has an empty interior, has strong elasticity due to air resistance, enhancing adhesion and effectively blocking air flow. Thanks to this, it prevents external rice weevil intrusion and odor absorption, and further increases internal vacuum power.

The integrated vacuum button allows easy control of vacuum operation and release. Simply rotate the button 90 degrees to position it on the vacuum or release icon, making it convenient. The vacuum operation status can also be checked via the LED located on the top. The translucent body blocks ultraviolet rays to prevent rice from drying, and the scale markings allow users to easily check the amount of rice stored at a glance.

Wheels are attached to the bottom for easy movement, and it features a low-noise design of 35 decibels (dB) for comfortable use.

Jung Jaewon, Team Leader of Development Team 4 at Lock&Lock, said, “We launched the vacuum rice container to help consumers store rice conveniently and hygienically, inspired by their complaints about difficulties in rice storage due to rice weevils and mold every summer.”
