Building Products
When you think of Building products, continuous manufacturing may not be the first thing that comes to mind. Building product customers who have experienced the benefits of continuous mixing and processing from Readco Kurimoto know that this is the best way to produce consistent, in spec, high-quality products.
Many applications for building products involve mixing or chemically reacting viscous materials. Often these products go through sticky phase changes. Readco’s Continuous Processor and Self-Contained Processor product lines are engineered for superior performance in these areas. Best of all, the batch-to-batch variations are eliminated when using Readco’s continuous mixers and processors. This results in products that meet or exceed customer expectations.
Sealants & Adhesives
The ability to precisely control residence time, temperature, and shear intensity is vital in the production of many sealant and adhesive applications. The Readco Kurimoto line of machines are designed to attain these, as well as additional control parameters, necessary to successfully formulate your product.
Readco’s continuous processing equipment is well-known for versatility and robustness. As with most of our applications, product consistency is a priority when working with sealants and adhesives. Readco’s sales process incorporates live pilot plant testing, in one of our state-of-the-art labs, utilizing Loss-in-Weight (LIW) technology. This ensures that you will achieve the same high-quality product at guaranteed throughput rates in production as we do while working together to customize a machine or system aligned to your exact specifications and requirements.
Battery & Energy
Thomas Edison and his team introduced the first nickel-iron electric car battery to the world in 1900. Although it held a charge, was very strong, and incredibly durable at the time, due to cultural norms and economics it was not immediately embraced or widely accepted. Over the past one and a quarter century, battery technology has advanced tremendously. Currently, overall safety and environmental friendliness are at the forefront in batteries and power storage systems.
It is difficult to imagine our lives without batteries in today’s world. Many electrical devices, including computers, smart watches, and cell phones, rely on batteries. Advancements in electric vehicles and the ability to store energy to power the cloud have become the focus of many manufacturers in this industry. Readco Kurimoto had decades of experience in a wide range of applications in the battery & energy storage industries. From Lead-acid to Lithium-ion and beyond, Readco’s Continuous Processor has successfully been utilized not only in continuous mixing, but also to continuously react various materials chemically with reliable, consistent results.
Ceramics
We recognize the high cost of raw material waste and the challenges of batch-to-batch variation in traditional ceramic manufacturing. Discover our continuous mixing equipment, a key solution for reducing waste and improving consistency in glaze and slurry preparation. Readco Kurimoto’s high-shear Continuous Processor optimizes raw material usage and eliminates batch downtime. The configurable mixing intensity delivers a uniform slurry and a consistently dispersed glaze, which are key to ceramic production and refractory applications.
Mix multiple dry materials, such as ceramic powders, with binders or solvents. Precise control over mixing intensity helps prevent agglomeration and maintain homogeneity, resulting in a smooth, durable finish. Choose our continuous processing systems for the structural integrity and performance of ceramic products.
Rubber
When you’re having difficulty achieving consistent dispersion and precise viscosity control during rubber production, our continuous processing technology can help. Readco Kurimoto delivers solutions that automate compounding rubber with various additives, fillers, and chemicals. Our Continuous Processor provides a consistent shear intensity to help attain ideal physical properties without the stop-and-start of batching.
Get in touch with our experts to tailor a solution that adapts to your production requirements. We develop a custom system that supports a range of rubber compounds for automotive, consumer goods, and heavy-duty agriculture equipment. Our machines can handle high-viscosity materials and offer variable shear intensity for thorough dispersion of ingredients.
