The Raring Corporation

What The Raring Corporation does

The Raring Corporation (TRC) is a US-based designer and manufacturer of engineered dust suppression systems, founded in California in 1984 by David L. Raring and currently headquartered in Vancouver, Washington. The company serves mining (copper, gold, iron ore, coal), mineral processing, coal-fired power generation, ports and bulk storage, and general bulk material handling customers, with a portfolio built around its proprietary ADS™ Dry Fog technology. ADS™ uses acoustic atomizing nozzles to generate microscopic water droplets that agglomerate with airborne dust at the source, applying minimal water while adding very little moisture to handled material; the platform is supplemented by Water Spray Systems (Dust Extinction Moisture / deluge / mist applications), Wind Fences for passive containment, and an extensive ancillary equipment line covering air compressor skids, air filtration and dryer skids, water filtration skids (including the RARINGFIL conditioner), pump skids, VFD panels, dedicated PLC control panels with DCS integration, moisture and positioning sensors, conveyor hoods, panel heaters and heat tracing for cold-weather operation, and baghouse dust collection delivered via the parent company's PIMASA channel. TRC's systems are engineered for harsh operating environments — including high altitude (Peru), extreme cold (Canada, Russia), corrosive atmospheres (Madagascar), and high temperatures (Australia) — and the company claims more than 700 installations across five continents.

TRC has been a wholly-owned subsidiary of Chile's PIMASA Group since March 2017, following a four-year transition that began in 2012. Revenue is generated through custom-engineered hardware system sales, aftermarket parts and consumables (including quarterly maintenance services), and technology licensing — notably a 2001 licensing agreement with F Harley and Company covering India. Pricing is project-based and quote-driven, with multi-year contract cadence and no public rates. Customer concentration is heavily weighted to large mining and industrial enterprises (Codelco, BHP Billiton, Rio Tinto, Freeport-McMoRan, Newmont, Anglo American, Gold Fields, Kinross Gold, Teck Resources, Southern Copper, CEMEX, ADM, Pacific Power, Engie, Sino Iron and others), and South America — particularly Chile and Peru, where TRC has reportedly participated in approximately 80% of mining projects since the late 1990s — represents the company's deepest market. A sub-brand called disinFOGtant extends the same ADS™ Dry Fog platform into disinfection applications for closed commercial environments.

The leadership team is anchored by President/Chairman Francisco Jimenez, who concurrently serves as General Manager of PIMASA, with the founder David L. Raring remaining on the board as Director. The operating core is small — approximately 10–15 named individuals across general management, accounting, manufacturing and procurement, services, electro-mechanical design, manufacturing, and project sales and mechanical design roles. International reach outside the United States is mediated through channel partners rather than TRC-direct offices: PIMASA covers South America, Kerr Air Systems covers Australia, F Harley and Company holds India rights via license, and Blexim provides Peruvian representation. The company maintains a bilingual English/Spanish web presence, a video repository of technology applications, and periodic case-study announcements tied to customer commissioning milestones.

Core offering

The Raring Corporation (TRC) designs, manufactures, and sells engineered dust suppression systems for mining, mineral processing, power generation, ports, and bulk material handling operations. The core offering centers on patented ADS™ Dry Fog technology, which uses acoustic atomizing nozzles to produce microscopic water droplets that agglomerate with airborne dust particles at the source. The product portfolio is complemented by Water Spray Systems (WSS), Wind Fences for passive containment, and supporting ancillary equipment such as filtration skids, pump skids, PLC panels, and air compressor systems.

Product overview

The Raring Corporation (TRC) offers a portfolio of engineered dust suppression systems centered on its proprietary ADS™ Dry Fog technology, supplemented by Water Spray Systems (WSS), Wind Fences, and comprehensive ancillary equipment. The core ADS™ Dry Fog system uses acoustic atomizing nozzles to produce microscopic droplets for in-situ particulate scrubbing, while Water Spray Systems provide DEM (Dust Extinction Moisture) conditioning through deluge, mist, and conditioning applications. Wind Fences deliver passive dust containment that works in combination with active suppression technologies. The ancillary equipment portfolio includes air compressor skids, air filtration/dryer skids, water filtration skids including the RARINGFIL Water Conditioner system, pump skids, VFD panels, dedicated PLC panels, panel heaters with heat tracing for cold-weather operation, moisture sensors, positioning sensors, traffic lights, conveyor hoods, and baghouse dust collection systems. Together, these products serve mining, mineral processing, ports, power generation, and bulk material handling operations across global locations.
