Reynolds Industries

What Reynolds Industries does

Reynolds Industries is a privately held, Fort Mill, South Carolina-based manufacturer of industrial mixing systems, founded by Gus Reynolds in 1976 and now led by President/Sales Kim Reynolds. The company designs and builds a broad portfolio of mixing equipment in-house, including dual shaft mixers, low speed agitators, high speed dispersers, coaxial mixers, ribbon blenders, sigma blade mixers, press-out stations, portable mixers and pumps, and ASME-certified pressure vessels, reactors, and tanks. Its core technical differentiator is a patented helical blade design documented to deliver 75% greater efficiency than conventional anchor blades and 5-10x higher heat transfer coefficients; full mechanical, electrical, controls, and process engineering under one roof enables turnkey Engineered Systems delivered on skids for rapid installation.

The company serves enterprise customers across six primary verticals: adhesives, sealants, silicones and caulks; coatings and paints; cosmetics and pharmaceuticals; inks and pigments; rubber, polymers, resins, and foams; and specialty chemicals. Named end customers include Henkel, J&J, PPG, Sherwin Williams, AkzoNobel, HB Fuller, Bostik, FlintGroup, Valspar, Oatey, Bluestar Silicones, W.R. Grace, InChem, CiC, and Wikoff Color. Reynolds holds ASME U, U2, and R stamp certifications plus National Board repair authorization, qualifying it for regulated pressure-vessel applications globally.

Reynolds monetizes through one-time capital equipment sales (custom quote-based pricing ranging from lab-scale units to 350 HP, 1,000+ gallon vessels), recurring spare parts supply (bearings, blades, seals, seal kits, electrical components), and installation, training, and repair services. Distribution is sales-led: a direct regional sales team covers Ohio Valley and Carolinas territories, supported by an actively expanding manufacturers' representative network; lead sources include website contact forms, trade shows, referrals, and outbound calling managed in ZOHO CRM. The 40,000 sq ft Fort Mill facility consolidates engineering, machining, fabrication, assembly, and lab testing capacity.

Brands

• TOTEMASTER: Exclusive line of tote entering mixers and drive units for drums with built-in agitators.

Products and services

• Dual Shaft Mixers Powerful and versatile mixer combining a low speed helical blade agitator with a saw-tooth high speed disperser to provide optimum batch turnover for high viscosity products. Features close tolerance gap to eliminate hot or cold spots in temperature controlled processes. Designed for industrial manufacturers in adhesives, sealants, and high-viscosity applications.
• Press-Out Stations Hydraulic press-out station designed to move high viscosity or non-flowing products from mixing vessels to shipping containers, cartridges, or other final packagings. Features rapid advance capability for efficient discharge with minimal waste.
• Low Speed Agitators Agitators designed for processing hard-to-handle products including high viscosity, thixotropic, and varying density products. Features patented helical blade design for maximum product turnover with ASME code stamped vessels for vacuum/100-psig service.
• High Speed Dispersers Industrial dispersers that dissolve powders into liquid base and break fragments or lumps to form homogeneous dispersions, reducing traditional mixing batch times. Available in sizes from lab/pilot through 300 HP with lifting and traversing capabilities.
• Coaxial Mixers Mixer incorporating a center shaft low speed sweep blade and high-speed disperser, with the high-speed disperser shaft through the center of the low speed shaft. Designed for high shear applications, typically used in ink industry with designs up to 250HP and 1,000 Gallons.
