Innovation and Achievement

Many thermoplastic equipment designs and techniques employed globally today were the vision of our company's founder, Cliff Crighton. Some of these C&E "firsts" were the following: 

• Tanks for batch wire coil processing, incorporating integral heat exchangers 
• Tanks for heavy-drawn bar processing
• Tanks for specialty steel processing, incorporating integral fume abatement
• Tanks as long as 70-feet for batch processing of tube products
• Tanks for electrolytic strip processing at 1700-fpm
• Tanks for continuous stainless steel and titanium strip processing
• The design of radius corners in tank construction for continuous and batch processing

Other innovations include: 

• One-piece strip tank covers to eliminate cover-to-cover joint fuming
• 'Total' systems for secondary containment, piping, and fume exhaust treatment
• Ongoing improvements for both freestanding tanks and rigid drop-in liners

We have furnished custom equipment to hundreds of batch and strip processing plants worldwide and have thousands of vessels in service. Whatever your need, we are prepared to meet the challenge.
