Kadant Johnson LLC

We design, manufacture, install, and service equipment used to manage flow in industrial processes. We supply a wide range of rotary joints and precision unions along with a broad portfolio of other fluid handling equipment including jet devices, condensate pumps, flexible hose, syphons, dryer bars, and system controls. Our services range from training, nondestructive testing, and repairs to system design and installation. Partnering with us ensures your hardware is fully integrated into your process for maximum performance and a single source of accountability.

We invented the rotary pressure joint in 1930 and have never stopped innovating. Our research and development center allow products to be developed and tested in real world conditions, before they are installed. Our controls and engineering design team develops system-based fluid handling solutions and our materials group is on the leading edge of testing seal rings, counter seals, bearings, and elastomeric seal materials to extend rotary joint life in ever demanding applications.

Today’s manufacturers operate in a “just-in-time” environment. Customers demand products are delivered when they need them, not after. A continuous improvement culture and a U.S. based operation allow us to meet the customer requested delivery date on over 96% of orders in North America, while our sister companies in Europe, South America, and Asia support customers globally.

Our products have a reputation for performance and durability and many products have been in continuous operation at customers for decades. Process industries that use our products to heat, cool, or transfer energy include packaging, food, metal, oil and gas, textile, nonwoven, machine tool, rubber, plastic, chemical, converting, and construction.
