Carrier Process Equipment Group, Inc (CPEG), a global provider of bulk material processing and handling solutions, has acquired Cyclonaire Corporation, a York, Nebraska-based manufacturer of custom-engineered pneumatic conveying systems and bulk material handling equipment. The acquisition expands CPEG’s technology portfolio and strengthens its capabilities across several industrial markets.
Cyclonaire specialises in dense, semi-dense and dilute phase pneumatic conveying technologies for the controlled transfer of powders and bulk solids. Its application-specific equipment and engineering solutions serve customers in the battery, rubber, cement and minerals industries, as well as rail sanding and other industrial markets.
The addition complements CPEG’s existing portfolio of thermal processing, vibratory conveying, screening, feeding, mixing and blending, and dust collection technologies. By bringing together Cyclonaire’s pneumatic conveying expertise and the engineering resources of CPEG’s group companies, the combined business will be able to offer customers more integrated systems tailored to their materials, production requirements and operational objectives.
“Material handling is a critical link in nearly every process our customers run, and Cyclonaire has built an outstanding reputation for solving difficult conveying challenges,” said Doug Schieber, President and CEO of CPEG. “Their depth in dense, semi-dense, and dilute phase technology, along with their strength in growing markets like battery materials, is a natural complement to our portfolio. We are excited to welcome their team and to deliver more complete solutions for our customers.”
Cyclonaire’s engineering approach focuses on efficient and reliable material transfer in demanding industrial environments. Its solutions are designed to address challenges such as product degradation, equipment wear and operational efficiency while supporting cleaner and safer working conditions.
Scott Schmid, President of Cyclonaire Corporation, said, “Cyclonaire has built its reputation on understanding our customers’ unique material handling challenges and engineering solutions that deliver long-term performance. Joining CPEG creates exciting opportunities to build on that foundation. Our pneumatic conveying expertise adds an important capability to an already impressive portfolio of processing and material handling technologies, while CPEG provides access to additional resources, complementary equipment, and new opportunities for collaboration.”
Mr Schmid added that the acquisition would create opportunities for employees, customers and business partners while enabling Cyclonaire to expand its solutions and continue providing responsive service and engineering expertise. The acquisition reflects CPEG’s strategy of bringing together established manufacturers with specialised capabilities and complementary technologies to serve customers requiring reliable and integrated processing and material handling systems.
