HOW KRC WORKS

Material Feeding

Raw materials are continuously fed into the twin-screw kneading chamber.

Continuous Kneading

Twin screws provide intensive mixing and precise control of kneading conditions.

Stable Discharge

Uniformly kneaded material is continuously discharged for downstream processing.

KEY BENEFITS

Continuous Processing

Continuous operation supports stable production and consistent material quality.

Precise Process Control

Speed, feed rate and temperature can be adjusted to suit different materials and processes.

Easy Scale-up

Process conditions can be transferred from laboratory evaluation to pilot and production scale.

Flexible Configuration

Paddle arrangements can be selected to match the required mixing and kneading conditions.

TYPICAL APPLICATIONS

Battery Materials

Mixing and kneading for lithium-ion and solid-state materials.

Advanced Materials

Suitable for ceramics, polymers and functional materials.

Pilot Production

Supports process verification before mass production.

Process Development

Optimizes kneading conditions for new formulations.
