What Triple/S Dynamics, Inc. does

Triple/S Dynamics, Inc. is a Dallas, Texas-based manufacturer of custom-engineered material handling equipment founded in 1888 (originally as Sutton Steele & Steele) and now operating as part of K.M. Global (KMGlobal). The company designs and builds vibratory conveyors, screening equipment, and density separators sold primarily to enterprise industrial customers across food processing, agriculture/grains/nuts, chemical processing, minerals and mining, foundry, metals recycling, refuse/waste-to-energy, wood products, and lithium-ion battery recycling. Headcount is reported at 51-100 employees, with global reach across 37 countries and a documented installed base of more than 20,000 units.

The product portfolio is anchored by three technology families: (1) the Slipstick Horizontal Motion Conveyor, introduced in the early 1970s, which uses a slow-advance/quick-return motion to glide product along a seamless pan without vertical impact, reducing breakage and pan wear; (2) Texas Shaker Precision Screeners and High-Speed Vibrating Screens for sizing dry granular materials from roughly 300 microns to multi-inch fractions; and (3) Sutton Gravity Separators and Sutton Stoners, which combine mechanical vibration with air fluidization to dry-separate material by density, size, or shape. An in-house applications laboratory and a Solutions Center with 110+ documented test results and case studies support customer-specific configuration.

The business model centers on one-time capital sales of custom-engineered systems via quote-based pricing, supplemented by an aftermarket stream covering OEM parts, field service, drive rebuilds (with claimed savings up to 40% versus new), and equipment modifications. GTM is direct — field sales, inside sales (phone and contact forms), and trade-show presence — with no disclosed channel partners or resellers. Customer retention is unusually strong: over 30% of customers have purchased machines across multiple years and decades, 50+ customers operate machines in multiple global locations, and 100+ customers own at least 10 machines each. No revenue, funding, M&A, or leadership-change disclosures are available.

Core offering

Triple/S Dynamics, Inc. is a Dallas-based machinery manufacturer (founded 1888) that designs, engineers, and builds custom material handling equipment — vibratory conveyors (including the proprietary Slipstick horizontal motion conveyor line), screening machines (Texas Shaker and high-speed vibrating screens), and dry density separation equipment (Sutton Gravity Separators and Sutton Stoners) — sold primarily to industrial processors in food, agriculture, chemicals, mining, foundry, metals recycling, and waste-to-energy sectors, with supporting OEM parts and field service.

Product overview

Triple/S Dynamics is a manufacturer of custom-engineered material handling equipment with three core product lines: Vibratory Conveyors (including the flagship Slipstick Horizontal Motion Conveyor line in Sanitary and Industrial variants, plus other vibratory conveyor styles and feeders), Screening Equipment (Texas Shaker Precision Screeners and High-Speed Vibrating Screens), and Density Separation (Sutton Gravity Separators and Sutton Stoners). The company also offers gates, covers, and comprehensive OEM parts and service support. Founded in 1888, the equipment serves diverse industries including agriculture, chemicals, food, foundry, metals recycling, minerals/mining, refuse/WTE, and wood products. The product portfolio is anchored by the Slipstick horizontal motion conveyor technology introduced in the 1970s, which uses a slow-forward/quick-return motion that glides product along a seamless pan surface without vertical impact, reducing breakage and wear. Screening equipment ranges from low-speed long-stroke Texas Shakers for precision sizing to high-speed screens for coarse and fine applications. Density separation equipment uses air fluidization combined with vibration for dry material separation by density, size, or shape.

Products and services

• Slipstick Sanitary Horizontal Motion Conveyor The first horizontal motion conveyor and food industry standard, recognized for gentle non-impact conveying motion. Features a single-drive mechanism that glides product down the pan, eliminating breakage for fragile foods. Used for fragile food, snack food, and pet food applications.
• Slipstick Industrial Vibratory Conveyor Horizontal motion conveyor pioneered in early 1970s, designed for industrial applications. Features slow forward-quick return motion independent of natural frequency, springs and tuning. Handles massive impact loads and carrying capacities for foundry, mining, metals, and heavy industrial operations.
• Other Vibratory Conveyors Complete line of traditional pitch-action style vibrating conveyors for light or extreme duty applications. Includes unbalanced, base balanced, Tex Flex excited base, and dynamically balanced configurations. Uses angular pitch with controlled throw distance to propel product forward.
• Vibratory Feeders Brute force style vibrating feeders with dual eccentric motors for controlled feeding from storage vessels. Trough lengths typically 12 feet or less, widths from 4 inches to several feet. Features variable frequency drive for flow rate control from 0 to 60+ feet per minute.
• Texas Shaker Precision Screeners Low-speed long stroke vibrating screen designed for precision screening and sizing of dry granular materials. Capable of screening from 1/2 inch to 300 microns. Operates on 6-degree slope with 1-inch stroke at 475 RPM, achieving 3.4g peak acceleration. Models range from 3x6 to 8x10 with up to 10 decks and 800 sq ft of screening area.
• High-Speed Vibrating Screens High-speed vibrating screens available in inclined and horizontal configurations for wet and dry screening. Features amplitudes of 0.100-0.500 inches at frequencies producing 4-6g peak acceleration. Deck slopes range from 11-20 degrees in single, double, or triple-deck models up to 8x20 ft.
• Sutton Gravity Separators Dry separation equipment achieving density, size, or shape separation using mechanical vibration and air fluidization. Features a porous inclined deck that fluidizes dry mixtures to separate by density. Maximum documented capacity of 200 cubic feet per hour. Processes particle sizes from 250 microns to 1 inch.
• Sutton Stoners Density separator using stratification principle in a fluidized product bed to remove small amounts of heavy material from large amounts of light material without product loss. Features a flat porous vibrating deck that concentrates heavy reject particles. Maximum documented capacity of 500 cubic feet per hour.
• OEM Parts & Service Replacement parts and field service for all Triple/S Dynamics equipment including vibratory conveyors, density separation, and screening equipment.
