What Dynamic Air does
Dynamic Air is a privately held industrial equipment manufacturer founded in 1969 in St. Paul, Minnesota, specializing in custom pneumatic conveying systems and bulk material handling equipment for dry solids. The company's technology foundation is the original Dyna-Chek booster fitting, invented in 1969 and now in its 5th generation, which enables dense phase conveying of abrasive, fragile, moisture-sensitive, and heat-sensitive materials at low velocities. The product portfolio spans 16 distinct pneumatic conveying concepts (dense phase, dilute phase, and medium phase systems in pressure and vacuum configurations), complemented by individual equipment families including BulkBuster bulk bag unloaders, the Bella Fluidized Zone Mixer, Blendcon blenders, Accu-Flo feeders, Vibra-Jet bin discharge systems, Modu-Kleen dust filters, and Big Sandy railroad sanding systems. An in-house testing facility has logged 3,500 conveying tests across 1,725 materials, supporting engineered specification for each application.
The firm operates a 120,000 sq. ft. manufacturing facility in St. Paul with in-house metal fabrication and ASME Pressure Vessel Accreditation (2016), and runs wholly-owned subsidiaries in the United Kingdom (1983), Brazil (1999), and China (2002). Go-to-market is sales-led via direct regional offices with dedicated phone lines for system sales, service, and replacement parts; pricing is quote-based and project-specific. Dynamic Air serves food, chemical, foundry, railroad, and building products customers, with case-study applications spanning breakfast cereals, petrochemicals, foundry sand, locomotive traction sand, and roofing granules. Revenue is generated primarily through one-time equipment sales supplemented by support services (material testing, installation, audits, spare parts), with newer service-revenue extensions including the SAPS toll milling partnership with Hosokawa in Brazil (2019) and an oil and gas division serving offshore drilling platforms (2012). No AI/ML capabilities, software platforms, or API products are part of the current offering.
