About Us

Advanced Cryogenic Enterprises Inc. (ACE) has been in the business of precision particle size reduction for nearly 20 years.

With a focus on quality, efficiency and customer service, we have taken the business from a 3,000 sqft pilot plant opened in 2008 to two locations with a total of 75,000 sqft. 

Proudly, we are an employee owned and operated company that thrives on the ability to do what others can’t, or won’t.

Our ability to use liquid nitrogen in our processes allows ACE to offer precision fine ground materials through our custom built, cryogenic and ambient processes utilizing a variety of types and sizes of equipment. We can process small lab trial quantities to multiple truckloads a week of virgin, recycled, cured and uncured materials.
 
We look forward to working with you and your team to

Lab Trial Process

Lab trials are an essential part of what we do. We work closely with our customers during this process to best determine their needs. This is done by gathering necessary paperwork, discussing particle size, packaging and testing requirements to develop the right process for your material. Working together ensures a smooth process and that you end up with the most effective solution for your needs.

ACE has the ability to process as little as a few pounds of for theoretical, feasibility trials and then moving to full scale,
viability trials. 

If your material needs to be pre-sized, we can granulate it down to proper feedstock for our lab pulverizers. We will then run a closed loop system on our lab unit directly to the separator for precise particle sizing. We can run single batch sizes without secondary screening. Finally, any required testing will be done to ensure the best results.

Tell us your needs:

  • Raw material type, size, and volumes

  • Supply us a sample of raw stock and finished product if available

  • Supply us all necessary paperwork ie.
    SDS/TDS, etc

We will:

  • Evaluate information and samples
  • Generate a plan to accomplish your needs
  • Conduct a trial grind to your specs
  • Perform required testing

Production Capabilities

Advanced Cryogenic Enterprises is experienced in many different compounds. We can granulate from 1 inch down to fine ground powders. Our production units can run cryogenically or ambiently depending on the material and size specifications.

ACE can process incoming raw material in the forms of sheets, trimmings, bales, pellets, granulate etc.

ACE is able to handle many different types of material. We currently process cured and uncured rubber, specialty plastics and other non traditional materials. We can process your material or supply you with our sourced raw materials.

Ambient and cryogenic grinding capabilities
Small volumes to multiple truck capabilities
1 inch to Fine Ground Powder
Cured and uncured materials
Tolling or sourced materials

Pulverizing

ACE has both ambient and cryogenic pulverizing capabilities. Both types of production lines are set up as a closed loop system from pulverizing to screening to packaging. This prevents contamination and causes oversized material to stay in the system until pulverized to the correct size. Our operators are trained to run an hourly hand sieve and visual inspection to make sure finished product is within spec.

We work with our customers to determine the extent of lab particle analysis and moisture tests that they require on each product run. We can immediately package finished product directly out of the process. This cuts down on any potential contamination or moisture concerns.

Many packaging options are available; these include low melt, polybags, valve bags, gaylords with liners, several sizes of supersacks, boxes or drums to name a few.

Certificate of Analysis are available on every order.

Closed loop systems
No contamination
Proper particle size
Immediate packaging in multiple options

Cryogenic Grinding

Cryogenic grinding is used to create a very fine finished product or where heat generation could cause chemical or physical changes to the raw material.

ACE utilizes liquid nitrogen to embrittle the raw material which is then pulverized into the desired mesh size. Some benefits of cryogenic grinding are that it is extremely dry, imparts no impurities on materials and eliminates any possibility of surface oxidation.

Ground material can reduce compound costs, reduce blistering, and reduce mixing time, increase extrusion rates, and provide “value” from recovering companies own scrap instead of incurring landfill costs. Leads towards 100% material usage and “green compliant”.

  • Very fine powders

  • No heat generation

  • No chemical changes

  • No impurities or surface oxidation

  • Can reduce compounding costs,
    blistering and mixing time

  • Increases extrusion rates

  • Provides value from scrap

  • Decreases landfill costs

Applications

There are many current and developing applications for fine ground powders. We can help you determine the best process for your materials.

Some uses include color chips and flecks, roto and injection molding, extrusions, concentrates or additives, compound fillers, textures for coatings and paints, etc.

  • Color chips and flecks
  • Roto and injection molding
  • Extrusions
  • Concentrates and additives
  • Compound fillers
  • Textures for coatings and paints

Granulation

This is generally the first step in any recycling process. Our granulation process allows us to take almost any polymer feedstock, cured and uncured, and reduce it to a manageable size, usually for further processing or recycling.
 
Do you have purging, trimmings or off spec materials that you want to reclaim? We can help
Do you have a polymer that’s not in a form you can use? We can help
 
With lab scale granulators up to full scale Shredder/Granulator/Elutriation lines there’s not much we haven’t seen. Contact our team and we will work together to determine what will work best for your needs and your operation.

Elutriation

Our state of the art elutriation system can separate any two commonly ground materials which are of varying density. Using special components, our systems uses air flow principles to the advantage of the reclamation industry

  • Remove Plastic from Paper

  • Fiber from Plastic

  • Fiber from Rubber

This process opens the door to what can now be recycled. For example, ACE currently processes

  • Reinforced EPDM
  • Belts
  • Hoses
  • Carpet
