Robust & Durable Equipment For Demanding Operating Conditions.
Cement production is a dynamic, high-demand industry that produces over 4 billion tons of cement around the world each year and brings in $64 billion annually in the U.S. alone!
Producing cement is a complex process that involves several stages. During the first stage, the raw materials must first undergo the crushing and grinding process in order to be reduced to a powder. Following this phase, that powder is blended into the correct proportions. During the final stages, the manufacturer then burns the prepared mix in a kiln at up to 2,820°F and finishes the process by grinding the burned product “clinker” together with approximately 5% of gypsum, which controls the time of set of the cement. The cement production process is only completed with the delivery of the final cement product to the consumer.
The above process varies slightly depending on which of the three cement manufacturing processes the raw material is going through. Wet, Dry, or Semi-dry.
Wet: The raw materials are ground wet and fed to the kiln as a slurry.
Dry: The raw materials are ground dry and fed to the kiln as a dry powder.
Semi-dry: The raw materials are ground dry and then moistened to form nodules that are then fed to the kiln.
Large amounts of carbon dioxide are released during the process of cement production. Fortunately, it can be recycled and used for decorative finishes, making it both an essential and versatile material in construction!

Specialized Equipment Constructed With Anti-Corrosion Materials.
Chemical manufacturing involves creating products thru processing organic and inorganic raw materials with various chemicals.
Chemicals are typically categorized into two main groups:
• Commodity chemicals: Produced in large quantities by manufacturers in specialized plants dedicated to one chemical. These plants operate continuously, with minimal shutdowns for maintenance.
• Specialty chemicals: Produced in smaller quantities as needed and are more expensive. These chemicals are manufactured by a limited number of suppliers and require flexibility in raw materials, processes, and equipment to meet customer demands.
The chemical industry contributes significantly to the U.S. economy with approx. 13,500 chemical manufacturing facilities owned by more than 9,000 companies, accounting for nearly $555 billion in annual shipments.
In 1736, a pharmacist by the name of Joshua Ward developed sulfuric acid, which was one of the first chemicals ever produced in large amounts.

Sanitary Construction Equipment In Compliance With Food Safety & Government Regulations.
Food and beverage manufacturing facilities convert raw food materials into products for immediate or eventual consumption through the utilization of labor, machinery, energy, and scientific expertise.
Food processing has been a part of human history for centuries, evolving from traditional methods like drying and smoking meats to innovations such as canning by Nicholas Appert and pasteurization by Louis Pasteur in the 19th century. These breakthroughs revolutionized food preservation, leading to a shift in how food was processed for longer shelf life. During wartime, the importance of food preservation became critical, influencing the development of convenience foods we enjoy today like frozen TV dinners, instant meals, and prepared snacks.
According to data from the U.S. Department of Commerce, Bureau of the Census's Annual Survey of Manufactures, these facilities represented 16.8 percent of total sales and 15.4 percent of the workforce across all U.S. manufacturing plants in 2021.
Out of all the manufacturing sectors in the world, the food industry is the largest.

The metals and minerals sector focuses on discovering and extracting metal and mineral reserves worldwide. These global reserves are mined for economic gain and utilized in various industries such as jewelry production, industrial processes, and investment purposes.
The industry is comprised of five primary segments:
• Oil and gas extraction - produces petroleum and natural gas for heating homes, fueling vehicles, and powering factories.
• Coal mining - extracts coal, a fossil fuel mainly used for generating electricity and manufacturing steel.
• Metal ore mining - extracts metal ores like gold, silver, iron, copper, lead, and zinc for producing jewelry, electronics, and steel.
• Nonmetallic mineral mining - involves extracting minerals like crushed stone, sand, and gravel for constructing roads and buildings.
• Support Activities for Mining - services provided by contract companies within the mining sector, such as quarrying or broad mineral extraction.
Metals are classified into two categories: precious metals and industrial metals.
• Precious metals include gold, platinum, and silver. They are considered to be rare and can have a high economic value associated with them.
• Industrial and base metals are used in the construction, manufacturing, and technology industries and include copper, aluminum, steel, and zinc.
This industry sector forms the basis for nearly all other industries, either directly as raw materials for various products or as essential resources required across different industries. In 2023, the U.S. mineral production contributed more than $105 billion to the U.S. economy.

Petrochemicals refer to chemical products derived from petroleum through the refining process. The fuel and petrochemical industries contribute nearly $600 billion to the U.S. economy and employ over 3 million Americans across 33 states.
The main classes of petrochemicals are olefins and aromatics. Oil refineries create these through fluid catalytic cracking of petroleum fractions.
Olefins are generated by chemical plants via steam cracking of natural gas liquids like ethane and propane.
Aromatics are produced through catalytic reforming of naphtha.
These substances serve as fundamental components for various materials, including solvents, detergents, and adhesives. Olefins are essential for polymers and oligomers, which are used in plastics, resins, fibers, elastomers, lubricants, and gels.
Fluid catalytic cracking (FCC) is defined as: a chemical process that uses a catalyst to create new, smaller molecules from larger molecules to make gasoline and distillate fuel
Steam cracking is defined as: a petrochemical process in which saturated hydrocarbons are broken down into smaller, often unsaturated, hydrocarbons
The largest group of petrochemicals are plastics, which is what more than half of the fibers in our clothes are made from.

The Most Reliable Equipment For Uninterrupted Service.
Power generation is the process of producing electric power from primary energy sources like thermal heat, wind, solar, and chemical energy.
Power plants are industrial facilities that convert various energy forms into electricity, utilizing numerous components and technologies. The key to this process is a turbine-driven generator, which is responsible for producing electrical energy.
Power plants can operate on fuels such as natural gas, coal, oil, or nuclear fuel, which generates steam to drive the turbine. The spinning turbine rotates the generator, producing electricity through electromagnetic induction. The electricity is then distributed through power lines to homes and businesses for consumption.
Types of Power Plants:
Nuclear
Hydroelectric
Solar
Wind
Geothermal
Power plants are crucial for meeting the increasing demand for electricity in our daily lives. They utilize diverse technologies and energy sources to convert energy into electrical power, serving consumers' needs. Each power plant type, whether fossil fuel-based, nuclear, or renewable, has a distinct process for generating electricity.
As of 2022, around 884,000 individuals work in the U.S. power generation sector, with the industry generating $491 billion in revenue in 2023.

High Temperature & Corrosion Resistant Equipment For Harsh Environments.
Paper is a product that seems relatively simple, but the manufacturing of it is a quite complex and resource-intensive process. It involves converting raw materials (wood, recycled paper, and other plant-based fibers) into quality paper products.
The paper production process includes wood preparation, pulping, chemical recovery, bleaching, and papermaking to convert wood to the final product.
It’s hard to imagine life without paper as it is used in many applications, from printing and packaging to hygiene and personal care products.
Paper production uses two types of end use energy – thermal and electrical. Thermal energy (in the form of steam) is used in digesters, evaporators, and for drying the pulp. Electrical energy is used to drive the pumps and fans.
While this industry is known for the large amounts of waste that it produces, this “waste” can be used for good! The discharge from the manufacturing of paper is called a feedstock as it contains high percentages of lignin, cellulose, and hemicellulos. This is used as a valuable raw material to produce bioenergy, platform chemicals, and biofuels.
Many countries depend on the pulp and paper industry as a large source of revenue for their economy, and the U.S. alone produces almost 100 million tons of paper annually.
In pulp & paper manufacturing, every single part of the tree is used, down to its bark, which can be used to generate bioenergy.
