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 that solidifies resin and aggregates, using ores of varying particle sizes as aggregates, bonded with epoxy resin to create a high-performance composite material. It is 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 quickly. 【Features】 ■ High vibration damping properties ■ Low thermal conductivity comparable to glass ■ Capable of integrated casting for piping, sensors, etc. ■ 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 lies in combining RAMPF Group's mineral casting technology with our 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 Water Supply Equipment. Regarding mineral casting technology, we will conduct joint research and development with Professor Naohiko Sugita from the Graduate School of Engineering at the University of Tokyo, who has deep insights into technological innovation in manufacturing, while receiving his advice on production processing. This collaboration aims to lead to the provision of better products.
