Pelletron history

Jerry Paulson founded the company in 1986 after recognizing the need for a dust removal system in the manufacturing process.

The concept, nurtured in the garage of his Lancaster County, PA, home, was based on kinetic energy and its effect on products as they pass through pneumatic conveyance systems during the production process.

Paulson’s solution was the Kinetic Gravity DeDuster, which uses a magnetic flux field to disrupt the electrostatic charge between contaminants and pellets, and a patented air wash deck to separate and remove the contaminants. The process improves product quality, saves production time, and reduces scrap.

Today Pelletron offers a full range of pneumatic conveying solutions to customers around the world, besides the well established DeDusting technology. Pelletron has expanded its services to provide plastic manufacturers and compounders with various pneumatic conveying technologies, a full range program of conveying components and complete series of in-line and off-line DeDusting systems for the removal of dust and streamers.
