What BGRS does

BGRS, Inc. is a privately held Houston, Texas-based industrial equipment manufacturer founded in 1976 that designs and manufactures solids material handling and dust control systems. The company's core product lines are portable dust collectors (2,500 to 45,000 CFM, trailer- and skid-mounted, electric and diesel), stationary dust collectors and baghouses, Double Dump Gate (DDG) airlock valves (6 to 36 inches, including high-temperature and specialty alloy variants), and material storage and feed systems for lime/chemical dosing. Differentiated technologies include a patented 'Systems for Removing and Collecting Dust Particles' for frac-site proppant de-dusting, a reverse pulse-jet filter cleaning design with wide-spaced pleats (no expanded metal) that delivers client-reported filter life exceeding 10 years, and a DDG valve with perpendicular-seat geometry that reduces air leakage and abrasive wear relative to rotary air locks.

BGRS generates revenue through a mix of equipment sales (new units), equipment rental/lease, replacement parts for the installed base, custom metal fabrication and skid assembly, abrasive media sales (e.g., copper slag), and authorized-dealer reselling of Nordfab ducting products. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed. Go-to-market is direct sales via phone, web inquiry, and major industry trade shows (ILTA, North American Frac Sand). Customer verticals include oil and gas/energy conveyance, water and wastewater treatment, coatings and abrasive blasting, chemical and petrochemical, pharmaceutical and food service, and general industrial manufacturing, with named engagements such as a US Air Force combat-fighter coating-removal blast room. Since July 2018, BGRS has operated Hemco Industries (founded 1956) as a division, adding gangways, loading racks, safety gates, loading arms, and fall protection products, and has also partnered with AAF (American Air Filters) to bundle broader industrial air quality solutions.
