What Nol-Tec Systems does

Nol-Tec Systems, founded in 1983 and headquartered in Lino Lakes, Minnesota, designs, engineers, fabricates, and commissions pneumatic conveying and bulk material handling systems for industrial clients. Its product portfolio spans dense phase and dilute phase pneumatic conveying (the latter featuring the proprietary Air Assist™ air-injection technology), weighing and batching automation using gain-in-weight and loss-in-weight measurement with PLC/HMI controls, pneumatic blending via proprietary cone designs (M244 and M277), storage silos and bulk bag unloading equipment, and dry sorbent injection (DSI) systems for acid gas and mercury removal supported by CFD modeling. The company also distributes electrostatic precipitator systems through a partnership with Lodge Cottrell, and operates an in-house test lab that has characterized over 800 materials using full-size production equipment.

The company serves seven principal industrial verticals: battery manufacturing, food and beverage, chemical/bioprocess, building products, glass and ceramic, tire and rubber, and air pollution control. Customers are enterprise-scale manufacturers, evidenced by named relationships with a global seafood processor, a global specialty cleaning products manufacturer, Lauren International, a multinational construction material producer, and a major utility company. Pricing is custom quote-based, with solutions tailored per application and full project coverage from napkin-concept engineering through installation, startup, and commissioning, supplemented by aftermarket spare parts and training services.

Nol-Tec is a wholly-owned subsidiary of KC Green Holdings, maintains a regional facility in Shanghai, China, holds UL 508A panel shop certification, and produces USDA Accepted equipment for sanitary food applications. It sells primarily through direct enterprise field sales supported by technical application engineers, and reaches industrial buyers via LinkedIn, case studies, technical blog content, downloadable white papers, and how-to video content. Revenue is not publicly disclosed, and the company is private with no reported funding rounds, M&A activity, or recent leadership transitions in the source data.
