NEU-JKF Process

What NEU-JKF Process does

NEU-JKF Process designs, engineers, and builds automated materials-handling and processing systems for industrial customers handling powders and granules. Its scope includes reception and discharge, pneumatic conveying, storage, dosing, weighing, mixing, grinding, drying, conditioning, cooling, sieving, and related dust or explosion-protection functions. Principal verticals are food, chemicals, polymers and plastics, and minerals, with disclosed applications in nuclear, animal feed, detergent, dairy, gelatin, and other bulk-processing industries. The company typically acts as a turnkey supplier from product characterization and system design through equipment construction, installation, and commissioning.

Core conveying methods include dilute phase and dense phase. Named technologies include NEUPHASE, a low-velocity discontinuous dense-phase system for fragile or abrasive products, and NEUPulse, a pulsating-phase method for delicate products. NEUBATCH adds recipe management and traceability, while an in-house control team writes proprietary automation software. Product development and project work are supported by a 1,000 m² NEUSTRAC industrial test center and component test benches; the company states that its systems can be designed around CE, ATEX, FDA, SEVESO, and REACH requirements.

Revenue comes primarily from direct, quote-based enterprise projects involving equipment and system sales, supplemented by installation, commissioning, testing, audits, upgrades, maintenance, training, and original spare parts. The company reports more than 100,000 spare-parts references and worldwide delivery, creating an aftermarket layer around its installed base. NEU-JKF Process belongs to NEU-JKF Group, the air-treatment division of SFPI Group, with related group capabilities in automation, filtration, fans, air treatment, and regional support. Company materials describe more than 100 years of pneumatic-conveying experience, while the supplied firmographic record lists 2004 as the company's founding year; the source data does not explain this discrepancy.
