Artech Ultrasonic Systems

What Artech Ultrasonic Systems does

Artech Ultrasonic Systems AG, headquartered in Romanshorn, Switzerland, and founded in 1991 as a Sondermaschinenbauer for Rinco Ultrasonics AG before being legally established as a separate entity in 1996, designs and manufactures ultrasonic excitation systems for bulk solids handling. Its product portfolio spans digital generators (DGS Single/Twin, FS Single/Twin, RLG-L, RLG-M), ultrasonic converters (C35-SD8, C32-HP1, C35-LP1, C35-GD2, C35-LP3), high-frequency cables, titanium bolts, custom curved sound conductors, and specialty screens including the patent-protected CoolSieve. The technology core is the patented Frequency Variation Method (Frequenzvariationsverfahren), in which the generator varies frequency within an adjustable range and automatically locates and locks onto the optimal working point across connected structures, eliminating geometry-specific resonance tuning and enabling geometry-independent excitation for sieving, discharge, conveying, and dosing applications while keeping all converters outside the product contact zone.

The company serves industrial OEMs and end-user producers across additive manufacturing, battery materials, chemicals and pharmaceuticals, paints and powder coatings, and food processing. More than 30 screen machine manufacturers worldwide integrate Artech ultrasonic components into their own equipment; named end-user references include Nahrin AG (Swiss spice manufacturer achieving approximately 30% reduction in dispensing time per dose via flowsonic) and Piezo Kinetics Inc. (piezoelectric ceramics, achieving continuous spray-dryer wall cleaning and powder recovery with custom flowsonic sound conductors). Artech cites quantified outcomes of up to 400% throughput improvement versus non-ultrasonic screening, noise reduction from above 90 dB to near-silent operation versus mechanical knockers, and zero contamination risk from contact-free converter positioning.

Revenue is generated primarily through one-time capital equipment sales of configured systems (generator + converter + cables + accessories), supplemented by custom screen and sound conductor fabrication and a smaller service stream of fee-based feasibility testing via rental components plus repair and spare-parts support. Pricing is quote-based and application-specific. Distribution combines direct sales from Swiss headquarters with intercompany offices in Ewing, NJ (USA, operating under Crest Ultrasonics) and Singapore, plus a network of 20+ regional agents and OEM preferred partners across Europe, Asia-Pacific, and North America — including Haver & Boecker (Germany), A O Schallinox (Switzerland), UTHE Japan, Young Tech Corporation (South Korea), and Navector (Shanghai). The company is privately held with 15+ employees, ISO 9001:2015 and ISO 14001:2015 certified, and holds ATEX/IECEx, IECEx, UL Recognized, CE, and IP65/IP67 certifications that constrain competitor substitution in regulated process industries.

Revenue model

1. Ultrasonic Equipment Sales: Sale of ultrasonic systems comprising generators (DGS, FS, RLG lines), converters (C35-SD8, C32-HP1, C35-LP1, C35-GD2, C35-LP3), HF cables, titanium bolts, sound conductors, and specialty screens (CoolSieve, industrial screens). Systems are sold directly to OEM machine builders and end-users, and through a global network of channel partners, agents, and distributors. Revenue is generated primarily as one-time capital equipment purchases, with potential for recurring service and spare parts.
2. Custom Screen and Sound Conductor Fabrication: Custom design and manufacture of sieves and sound conductors tailored to specific customer geometries and applications. Industry-specific screens and bespoke sound conductor designs are offered for applications such as spray towers, silos, and specialized industrial sieves.
3. Service, Testing, and Rental: Artech offers test components for hire over a defined period for feasibility testing in the customer's production environment. If trials succeed, new ultrasonic sets can be purchased at preferential conditions. Repair services and spare parts are also offered through service hotline and partners.

Core offering

Artech Ultrasonic Systems AG designs, manufactures, and sells ultrasonic excitation systems for industrial bulk solids processing. The product portfolio comprises digital ultrasonic generators (DGS, FS, RLG lines), ultrasonic converters (C35 and C32 series), high-frequency cables, titanium bolts, specialty sound conductors, and sieve screens (CoolSieve and industrial screens), plus a flowsonic sub-brand solution for discharge, conveying, and dosing of bulk solids in hoppers, silos, spray towers, and cyclones.

Product overview

Artech Ultrasonic Systems AG offers a modular, patent-protected ultrasonic technology platform for the bulk solids industry. The core offering consists of ultrasonic generators (DGS Single/Twin, FS Single/Twin, RLG-L, RLG-M), converters (C35-SD8, C32-HP1, C35-LP1, C35-GD2, C35-LP3), HF cables, and screens (Cool Sieve, Industriesiebe, custom designs), complemented by accessories (converter holders, ultrasonic clamps, titanium bolts, wall mounts). The DGS generator family powers industrial sieving, while the FS generator family powers discharge, conveying, and dosing applications — collectively branded as flowsonic. All systems use Artech's patented frequency variation method, which varies frequency within an adjustable range and automatically finds the optimal operating point without requiring resonance matching of the screen geometry. The converter remains outside the product contact zone at all times, eliminating contamination risk. The portfolio covers sieve machines, bulk containers, spray towers, and other structures, serving industries including additive manufacturing, battery, chemicals/pharma, paints, and food.
