Aircon

What Aircon does

Aircon Corporation is a privately held, US-incorporated industrial equipment manufacturer founded in 1976 and headquartered at 2873 Chelsea Avenue, Memphis, Tennessee. The company designs, fabricates, and installs turnkey engineered systems for industrial dust collection and pneumatic conveying, with documented worldwide installations. Its product portfolio spans four layers: complete Systems (dust collection, pneumatic conveying by industry), Equipment (baghouses, cyclones, airlocks with the proprietary Flex Air valve, material handling fans, screw conveyors, paper scrap rotary valves, below-roof separators, custom control panels), Filters (reverse air, compressed air, bin vents, Elf/elevator leg units), and Components (angle rings, ductwork, flat-back elbows, structural steel), plus in-house Steel Fabrication services.

Underlying technology centers on mechanical air-handling and dust separation, including radial-plate impeller material handling fans (1/4 to 1/2 inch plate thickness), 10/12 gauge steel filter construction rated to +/- 17 inches water gauge, explosion-proof motors (NEMA 9, Class II, Groups E/F/G), and rotating cleaning-arm reverse-air designs. Quantified performance includes baghouse filtration efficiency of 99.9% by weight on silica dust and self-cleaning pressure differential of 3-5 inches water column.

The business model is project-based industrial capital-equipment sales: B2B enterprise field sales targeting plant operators and facility managers, with custom quotes for each project, multi-year contract cadence, and a website-driven spare-parts reorder channel. Five primary vertical segments are served — Woodworking (OSB/MDF/particleboard), Grain, Paper & Folding Carton, Feed Mills, and Wood/Biomass Pellets — addressing explosive-dust mitigation, air quality compliance, scrap recovery, and conditioned-air recirculation. No public listing, parent company, subsidiaries, funding rounds, M&A, or named management team are disclosed in the source material; ownership is independently held with continuous operation since founding.

Products and services

• Baghouses Dust collection devices that filter air by passing it through cloth or synthetic fiber media (bags). Available as reverse-air, compressed-air (pulse-jet), or shaker types for industrial facilities.
• Bin Vents Filter units with 12 gauge mild steel bolted construction operating up to +/- 17 inches water gauge, featuring bottom-removal bags with quick-release stainless steel clamp bands for silos and bins.
• Compressed Air Filter Filter units featuring 10 or 12 gauge steel bolted construction with diaphragm valves, NEMA 4 sequence timer enclosure, and explosion-proof solenoid valves for industrial air filtration.
• Elf Units (Elevator Leg Filter) Elevator Leg Filter units that allow dust filtration at the source, eliminating hundreds of feet of ducting, scores of elbows, and large fans required to overcome static pressure losses in elevator legs.
• Reverse Air Filter Filters with 10 gauge steel construction operating up to +/- 17 inches water gauge with rotating cleaning arm motor, UHMW lined slide plate, and 16 oz. singed polyester snap-in bags for industrial dust collection.
• Cyclones Two types of cyclones: High Efficiency cyclones (tall, narrow units for woodworking, grain, and feed mills) and Low Pressure cyclones (larger diameter units for paper trim collection systems).
• Airlocks (Flex Air Valve) Aircon 'Flex Air' valves designed for use as airlocks, pneumatic feeders on conveying systems, or product metering devices. Available in eight sizes, maintaining air seal at pressures or vacuums up to 17 inches water gauge with one-piece, full pocket, double wiper design.
• Below Roof Separator Filter units for plants that want conditioned air to remain indoors while eliminating outdoor maintenance concerns, offering indoor installation for resource and cost savings.
• Control Panels Custom-made control panels for specific plant needs, featuring capabilities from monitoring high-level alarms to interfacing with plant fire alarms, sequencing start-up/shut-down, and spark detection systems with multiple abort gates.
• Material Handling Fans (P Series) Centrifugal fans (radial type) with impellers constructed from 1/4 to 1/2 inch thick plate, designed for durability in humid environments handling wet wood chips or paper, producing high static pressures from medium to low air flow volumes.
• Paper Scrap Rotary Valves Dual valve systems for grade separation in paper scrap removal, featuring elongated rectangular inlets/outlets and Neoprene wiper tips allowing trim to fall into underground conveying lines at 9-12 rpm rotation.
• Screw Conveyor Material handling equipment offering low energy, convenient, and efficient method to move material from discharge spout to designated collection point, available in any size or length.
• Steel Fabrication Services Custom steel fabrication services including cage ladders, landing platforms, handrail, and large filter support steels for industrial facilities.
• Dust Collection Systems Complete turnkey engineered systems for dust control in industrial applications, including design, fabrication, and installation services across multiple industries.
