Elcan Industries

What Elcan Industries does

Elcan Industries is a privately held US industrial services and equipment company founded in 1993, headquartered in Tuckahoe, New York, with a second toll-processing facility in North Carolina. The company specializes in fine-powder particle separation, sieving, mixing, blending, magnetic separation, and toll processing/contract manufacturing for industrial customers across aerospace, battery manufacturing, pharmaceuticals, food, additive manufacturing (3D printing), ceramics, oil & gas, and pigments. Its core proprietary technology is the Hi-Sifter high-energy vibratory screener — patented in 2016 and capable of separations down to 10 microns at 98%+ yields without balls, sliders, or ultrasonics — complemented by the Elbow Jet Air Classifier, which extends capability down to 0.5 microns for abrasive and high-purity powders using airflow-based density separation.

The company's business model is a hybrid of toll-processing services and proprietary equipment sales. Under the toll-processing stream, customers ship raw powders to Elcan's ISO 9001-certified facilities, where the company charges per pound to screen, classify, blend, hammer-mill, magnetically separate, delump, de-agglomerate, and repackage material to specification. Under the equipment stream, Elcan sells Hi-Sifter units (15-40 inch sizes, single or double deck), Elbow Jet classifiers, tumbler screeners, and CG electromagnetic separators, supported by a spare-parts and screen-repair line with overnight shipping from New York. Pricing is quote-based across both streams, and go-to-market is direct enterprise field sales supplemented by full-day on-site material trials, technical content marketing (blog, case studies, YouTube), trade show participation, and industry partnerships. The company serves as both a vendor and an operator of its own equipment, using daily production runs across eight full-scale toll bays as the basis for process expertise that it claims exceeds 99% of vibratory screener makers. The firm remains founder-owned with 1-10 reported employees, no disclosed external funding, and no M&A activity in the source record.
