High-performance composite material "Mineral Casting" <for industrial machinery applications>
A new material with characteristics such as high vibration damping and low thermal conductivity. ~For structures such as beds of various machines that require high precision and high-speed operation~
"Mineral Casting" is a type of polymer concrete made by solidifying resin and aggregates, using ores of varying particle sizes as aggregates, and bonded with epoxy resin. It is a high-performance composite material primarily used in industrial machinery applications that require high precision and high-speed operation, particularly in Europe. Hinode Water Supply Equipment has recently formed a business partnership with the German RAMPF Group to begin the development, manufacturing, and sales of Mineral Casting products. We are building a system to deliver better products to our customers safely and swiftly. 【Features】 ■ High vibration damping properties ■ Low thermal conductivity comparable to glass ■ Capable of embedding piping, sensors, etc. in castings ■ High precision transferability, achieving processing-free results *For more details, please refer to the materials. Feel free to contact us with any inquiries.

basic information
[Partnership Details and Future Outlook] The foundation of our partnership is the combination of RAMPF Group's mineral casting technology and our company's polymer concrete production technology, which we have accumulated over 40 years for civil engineering applications. We will manufacture mineral casting at our Tochigi factory and supply RAMPF-branded products to RAMPF Japan, while also selling Hinode-branded products as Hinode Waterworks Equipment. Regarding mineral casting technology, we will conduct joint research and development with the advice of Professor Naohiko Sugita from the University of Tokyo's Graduate School of Engineering, who has deep knowledge of technological innovation in manufacturing. This collaboration aims to lead to the provision of better products.
