A Shared History of Innovation
IPCO process solutions for the chemical industry - from
steel belts to Rotoform pastillation
ith a history that stretches back over
the same period as this great magazine,
chemical solidification solutions provider
IPCO has every reason to celebrate the
120th anniversary of Chemical Engineering's
first issue.
IPCO entered into the world of industrial
solutions in 1901 with the development of
the first steel conveyor belt, used to transport
waste from a sawmill in the company's
home country of Sweden. This game-changing
technology would go onto revolutionise
processes across multiple industries and
formed the foundation on which the company
- then operating as Sandvik Process
Systems - was built.
IPCO's partnership with the chemical industry
began in 1935 with the delivery of a
steel belt cooler for resin/wax products and
sulphur mixes. Other process solutions followed
for applications including film casting,
drying and pressing.
W
In 1980, the company installed its first
Rotoform system, a granulation process
that has undergone continual development
ever since. Today's Rotoform, now in its 4th
generation, consists of a family of systems
capable of handling everything from hot
melt adhesives, resins, waxes and sulphur
to products with specific process challenges
such as high feed temperatures, subcooling
melts and abrasive or corrosive products.
Rotoform solutions are also available
for products requiring high standards of
hygiene (i.e. Good Manufacturing Practice
compliance) such as oleochemicals, widely
used in the cosmetic industry. More than
2500 Rotoform units have been installed
around the world since it first launched in
1980.
The IPCO name came into being in
2017/18 when the business was divested
from Sandvik to FAM AB, part of the
Swedish Wallenberg Foundations. This
change of ownership has given IPCO the
strength and stability that will be needed to
deliver industrial process solutions to support
the chemical industry through the 21st
century and beyond.
