TANABE CORPORATION

Tanabe Corporation A Japanese industrial furnace manufacturer with factory in Itoigawa and office in Tokyo. We have also subsidiaries in Sweden and USA. Tanabe’s Rotary kiln We segment ourselves to the battery industry. We manufacture these as a pilot sized or full-scale at gigafactories. They're all electric heated and comes with different heating zones. We will discuss with the customer what atmosphere it should be inside the retort, oxygen, nitrogen etc. The choice of material for the retort will also be discussed with the customer depending on contamination risk. Battery material The rotary kiln is an excellent choice to use in cathode material drying process, also know as calcination, where it removes unwanted impurities and decompose unwanted byproducts and ensure proper oxidation states of elements in the material. Proper calcination enhances ion diffusion, conductivity and cycle stability, which directly impact the battery’s energy density and lifespan.
