Advanced Continuous Mixing Solutions for the Building Products Industry
Readco Kurimoto’s continuous mixing machines are ideal for producing various building products on a large scale. Our high-performance solutions can help you meet production deadlines and generate the same level of quality each time. Our innovative solutions also adhere to OSHA and ASME pressure vessel standards, enabling your business to remain compliant.
While continuous manufacturing may have higher upfront costs, the increased efficiency of this equipment will lead to your ROI being realized quickly. Investing in our solutions enables you to produce different building products, like:
- Shingles
- Roof coatings
- Carpet backing
- Loaded polyurethane foam
- Joint compound
- Gypsum board
- Caulk
- Plummer’s Putty
- Construction Adhesives
- Synthetic stone and brick
- Reflective marking materials
Producing these products with our solutions is efficient and convenient because they provide:
Material Homogeneity and Uniformity
Building products often consist of various materials, which manufacturers must mix properly to ensure consistent quality across all items. For instance, batch mixing components in asphalt roofing manufacturing can cause inconsistencies in shingle thickness, saturation, and granule adhesion. However, producing asphalt shingles using a continuous processor ensures constant, uniform mixing of constituents. Your team can also easily monitor and control the process in real time.
Moisture and Solvent Removal
Certain building products, like epoxy and acrylic, must have a low moisture content to ensure their reliability. With our SCP equipment, you can reduce product moisture through distillation or evaporation.
Color and Texture Consistency
Building products like synthetic stone and brick must retain a natural-looking appearance to provide an aesthetic appeal. Our machines provide precise color and texture control by distributing aggregates, additives, and pigments uniformly throughout the mixture, enabling you to attain the desired appearance.
Viscosity Uniformity
Batch mixing for commercial coatings causes variations in viscosity, impacting product quality. With our continuous manufacturing equipment, you can handle materials of any viscosity and achieve uniform mixtures.
Asphalt Roofing Material Case
One of our customers in the building products industry required a system to meet their individual application requirements. Specifically, this customer needed equipment that would allow for the dispersal and dissolution of fillers and additives into asphalt with fast residence process speeds. They also required dual processors to help reduce or eliminate the need for heating large mix and storage tanks for long periods of time.
Although asphalt benefits from the introduction of certain additives such as oil and rubber pellets, the traditional process for incorporating them is often time-consuming. In addition, the process needs to hold the temperature of the material at over 300° F, which consumes a lot of energy.
