ACRISON CORPORATE DESCRIPTION

Leadership through innovation

For over thirty years, Acrison has maintained a leadership position in the application of unique and innovative technologies for dry solids metering and handling. Acrison's focused, user-driven approach to equipment design is the guiding principle to its ongoing success, and the reason that Acrison is a leading global supplier of volumetric and gravimetric feeders, continuous blenders, bin discharging mechanisms, water treatment packages and related control systems to processing industries of every description.

Excellence through Design and Engineering

Acrison's mechanical designs are widely recognized as the most viable, versatile and durable in the industry. From a broad variety of dry solids multiple auger metering and hoppering mechanisms, to ultra-high resolution, calibration and adjustment-free, non-load cell based weighing systems, continuous blenders and others, Acrison's numerous mechanical developments are engineered and designed to deliver maximum flexibility and optimum performance.

Acrison also stands alone in the industry as a developer, designer and manufacturer of controls and control systems, ranging from basic variable speed volumetric feeder controllers to a variety of advanced multiprocessor weigh feeder controllers, including a technologically superior supervisory system that has revolutionized the control of feeder systems throughout the processing industries.

Unmatched Reliability

Acrison strongly considers the rigors of an industrial environment in the design and manufacture of its equipment. These environments are varied and often difficult, with harsh conditions prevailing. By manufacturing its equipment for unrivaled longevity and dependability, with the intent of trouble-free operation from the beginning, Acrison has achieved and sustains, by far, the lowest parts failure rate in the industry. Life cycle analysis conducted across a broad spectrum of industrial users clearly shows that Acrison equipment offers the lowest cost of ownership of any equipment of its type available. Acrison systems and feeders installed over 25 years ago are still in daily use, metering an endless variety of products in thousands of installations worldwide. Even electronic upgrades to present day technology represent an easy and inexpensive undertaking.

MARKETS SERVED

Acrison's primary markets include the food, chemical and plastics processing industries. However, Acrison equipment is applied in virtually all settings where the accurate metering of dry solids ingredients is required, including such markets as mining, pulp, paper and paperboard, solid propellants, ceramics, building products, and pharmaceuticals, to name a few.

Acrison also expands and applies its industrial product line to meet the needs of the various water and waste water treatment industries. Here, we apply our field proven, industrially designed equipment for water treatment processes... from simple chemical feeding and dissolving packages to dry and liquid polyelectrolyte metering and wetting systems.

TECHNICAL SERVICES

Acrison strongly encourages a prospective user of dry solids metering equipment to visually and physically compare the available devices in order to select the most viable hardware to satisfy process metering requirements. Clearly there is a difference... a significant difference in technology, the design, quality, durability, maintenance parameters and attainable performance of the available dry solids metering equipment. For example, certain applications require a high degree of short term accuracy and smoothness of feed. To achieve this type of performance, Acrison has developed a variety of unique and novel mechanisms which can accomplish this task effectively and accurately. These mechanisms are capable of producing typical metering accuracy's of ± 1 to 3 percent or better (total deviation) based on a given number of consecutive short-term weighments, on intervals as brief as 0.1 seconds in duration.

Acrison's new, ultra-modern equipment demonstration facilities are the largest, most advanced and best equipped in the industry. These capabilities include the ability to test at actual production feed rates. Acrison is always available to demonstrate the operation of the selected piece of equipment with the users actual product, normally without any charge for such testing. Test procedures are generally completely automatic.

In addition to equipment demonstration/ materials testing, Acrison also offers comprehensive user training programs, focusing on equipment operation/maintenance, as well as customized seminars dealing with the application of Acrison products.
