Procedyne Corp.

What Procedyne Corp. does

Procedyne Corp. is a privately held, New Jersey-based engineering and equipment manufacturer founded approximately 45 years ago, specializing in fluid bed thermal processing systems. It designs, builds, and services custom calciners, catalyst activators, reactors, dryers, heat treat furnaces, thermal cleaning systems, waste-to-energy systems, and aluminum foundry sand core de-bonding furnaces, with operating capability up to 1,200°C and 100 psig. The technical differentiator is dense-phase fluidization combined with proprietary components including the Jet Fire® heat transfer geometry, Mikrodyne™ high-temperature filtration (100% efficiency at 2.8 microns), the Screw Plate Gas Distributor, and the NitroBlack® ferritic nitrocarburizing surface treatment, all covered by issued US patents and registered trademarks.

The company monetizes through one-time capital equipment sales priced on a quote basis, contract toll processing on four continuous lines at 10–250 kg/hr, 24/5 thermal cleaning contract services at its New Brunswick plant, and aftermarket spare parts, field service, rebuilds, and training. Distribution is direct enterprise field sales with roughly 10% travel to customer sites, supported by industry trade shows (International Powder & Bulk Solids, Furnaces North America) and an online product catalog at catalog.procedyne.com. Procedyne targets heavy industrial customers across at least five verticals: chemical and petrochemical, metals and foundry, plastics and synthetic fiber, food processing, and environmental/waste processing.

The firm operates from a single 60,000 sq ft New Brunswick, NJ facility with sub-contract manufacturing partners worldwide, and employs 11–50 people, many of them long-tenured engineers with specialized thermal-processing expertise. No ownership, funding, or revenue figures are publicly disclosed; no M&A, leadership changes, or external investment activity are evidenced in the source material. The company presents as an established, founder/management-controlled niche industrial specialist with a defensible patent portfolio and a diversified vertical mix rather than a high-growth venture-backed operator.
