About Elcan Industries
Elcan Industries is a service provider and equipment manufacturer specializing in powder separation that has been developing sieving solutions for materials other companies cannot process since 1993. The company offers toll processing for dry powders, including fine sieving down to 10 µm with over 98% yield and efficiency, air classification, magnetic separation, blending, milling, deagglomeration and packaging. Its own proprietary equipment lines, such as the Hi-Sifter sieving machine, the Elbow-Jet air classifier, electromagnetic separators and tumbler screening systems, are both sold and used daily in the company's own operations. In addition to toll processing, Elcan offers particle analysis, laboratory testing, process development and scale-up support as well as screen repair and remeshing. The industries served include battery materials, additive manufacturing, specialty chemicals, metal powders (including titanium, aluminium, cobalt chrome), graphite, glass flake, fertilizers and glass. Locations are Tuckahoe (New York) and Gastonia (North Carolina) in the USA as well as a European test center in Mühldorf, Austria. All testing and toll processing take place at the ISO-9001-certified location in New York with documented quality procedures.
