Contribute to society through threetechnologies—drying, concentration,and crystallization—from manufacturing
to environmental conservation
KATSURAGI INDUSTRY manufactures and sells chemical equipment such as concentratorsand crystallizers, mainly various dryers including drum dryers. Our products support a wide
range of manufacturing sites, from chemicals and food to drugs and electronic components, andalso contribute to environmental fields such as wastewater treatment and recycling.

DryersConcentrators Crystallizers

A technology that completely removes
water from substances by drying themthrough heating. Drum dryers are themain products of KATSURAGI INDUSTRY,
which boast the No. 1 delivery record inJapan.

A technology that makes highly concentrated
liquids by boiling and evaporating water and othersubstances in solutions. Since only substances
other than water can be concentrated, it can also
be utilized for wastewater treatment and otherpurposes.

A technology that crystallizes anddeposits the necessary components
from solutions. KATSURAGI INDUSTRY
excels at industrial-scale continuous
crystallization, which enables mass
production in a small space.

Support a sustainable future throughwastewater purification and recycling

While our chemical equipment has been supporting a wide range of manufacturing fields, inrecent years it has also been adopted frequently in recycling and wastewater treatment sites asa technology that contributes to the environment. We are also working to reduce CO2 emissions
by taking measures such as actively incorporating technologies that contribute to energy
conservation into our products.

Various technologies that also contribute to the SDGs
Recycle rare metals fromused batteries

The volume of wastewater itself can be reduced by evaporatingwater in industrial wastewater to solidify and concentrate thewastewater. At final waste disposal sites, our equipment is used toseparate the generated wastewater into clean water and impurities.

Our equipment is used to extract and crystallize phosphorus,
ammonium sulfate and other components that can be fertilizers fromwaste liquid discharged when manufacturing products. The extracted
components are used in chemical fertilizers.

Our equipment is used to crystallize solutions of nickel, cobalt andother substances recovered from used lithium-ion batteries (LiB)with high purity. It is also utilized for recovering rare metals fromwaste generated during manufacturing.

In addition to the use of waste heat with dryers, we arealso working on energy conservation for equipmentthat can reduce both CO2 emissions and runningcosts, such as the adoption ofejector systems and heat pumpsystems for concentrators.

Use our accumulated technicalcapabilities to fulfill all needs of customers
DryersConcentrators

Almost all the products provided by KATSURAGI INDUSTRY are custom-made. Very few
products are the same among the ones we have delivered in the past, so the many
achievements that we have accumulated have directly become our technical capabilities. On theother hand, what we have consistently in common is that we have promoted development from
customers’ perspectives by conducting tests and discussions together with customers. We arealways thinking about how we can meet our customers’ needs with our technologies, and taking
on challenges.

Flexibly handle various types of chemical
equipment

Using steam and other materials, heat is added to the inside of arotating cylindrical drum. Evaporation is performed by having aliquid raw material flow to the outside of the heated drum, andthe raw material attaches to the surface as a solid substance.
The attached raw material is collected by being continuously
scraped from the drum surface with a fixed knife. KATSURAGI
INDUSTRY also offers a variety of other dryers suited to different
purposes.

Concentration is a technology that makes highly concentrated
liquids by boiling and evaporating water and other substances insolutions. In this process, there are issues such as internalburned parts and clogged pipes, and regular maintenance isessential. KATSURAGI INDUSTRY has mitigated these issues bychanging the structure and applying a technology to control theheat. We enable efficient operations by significantly extending
the maintenance intervals.

Crystallization is the process of heating or cooling solutions tocrystallize and take out the components contained in them.
Since various cases are possible depending on the material to betaken out, in a sense, this is a field where experience matters.
KATSURAGI INDUSTRY has also delivered many crystallizers,
and has technical capabilities to handle various substances.

We also manufacture a variety of other chemical equipment,
including drum flakers that solidify resins and other materials at
low temperatures to improve the handling, and peripheral
equipment for dryers, concentrators and crystallizers. Inaddition, we do our best to update old equipment that has been
discontinued as long as we can utilize our technologies.

Aim for manufacturing withoutcompromise with everyone acquaintedwith technologies
The strength of KATSURAGI INDUSTRY is that everyone from the Sales Division to theManufacturing Division, not to mention the Engineering Division, is acquainted withtechnologies. In our company, we actively exchange ideas to make better products. Based on
the concept that “what makes a company is its people,” we are also proactively working todevelop human resources, from helping them to acquire various qualifications to activities atacademic conferences.

Sales Division
All the sales personnel at KATSURAGI
INDUSTRY are sales engineers. Since
they have experience in technologies anddesign, product specifications and otheritems can generally be determined at themeeting stage. Our strength is that thework before design can also be carriedout smoothly.

Engineering Division

Manufacturing Division

After a contract is signed, the Engineering
Division assigns a dedicated project
manager (PM), who takes over the work.
In addition to the design, the PMmanages all the processes, including
meetings with the customer, coordination
with the Manufacturing Division, in-houseinspections before the shipment, andon-site test runs.

It is a manufacturing depar tment that
actually gives form to equipment. The
strengths of our Manufacturing Division are
its solid technical capabilities and extensiveexperience. Using the skills, they propose
things such as ways to shorten the period
and reduce the costs from the design stage
to the Engineering Division. They proceedwith manufacturing more efficiently.

are conducted to complete thedeliver y. Af ter the operation
starts, the Sales Division is incharge of after-sales service.

Development system
Missions such as collecting information on new technologies and verifying new technologies to beintroduced are conducted mainly by the Technology Development Division. In addition, we also
focus on academic activities including promoting research and development throughindustry-academia collaboration with Kyoto University, the University of Hyogo and otheruniversities, and participating in the Crystallization Subcommittee of the Association of Powder
Process Industry and Engineering, JAPAN, to actively present new technologies.

Contribute to society by utilizing ourmanufacturing technologies and wisdom,
creating products that satisfy ourcustomers, and letting the company
and employees grow together.
KATSURAGI INDUSTRY has been providing a lot of chemical
equipment to customers over many years.
Thanks to everyone’ s support, our drum dryers now have theNo. 1 delivery record in Japan, and other chemical equipment isalso building up successful track records. In addition, ourequipment has expanded into environmental fields in recent
years, and we are once again aware of our ability to contribute tosociety. There is no doubt that the roles we should play insociety are increasing, from both per formance andenvironmental aspects.
Recently, we have been receiving an increasing number ofinquiries from customers saying, “Other companies rejected ourrequest and we’ re in trouble. We want your help.” We presume
that this situation is occurring due to the overestimation of risks,
and we would like to be a company that also shares risks withcustomers and overcomes them together. We will cherish thismindset and continue to challenge ourselves to remain acompany that is needed by society.
