Protherm, LLC announced it has completed the purchase of the assets of Process Thermal Dynamics, Inc.  Protherm, LLC is an electric infrared heater and oven manufacturer based in Brandon, Minnesota. The Protherm brand has been supplying process heating to industry since 1985. Process Thermal was founded 32 years ago and in its three decades of operation has created an unparalleled brand of electric infrared heaters.  The Protherm brand is known for its consistent, controllable heat and its robust design.  

Protherm, LLC is owned by Marty Sawyer.  Ms. Sawyer is also the owner of Trimac Industrial Systems, LLC, based in Kansas City, which manufactures process heating and cleaning equipment including gas catalytic infrared ovens, convection ovens, parts washers, pretreatment washers and powder coating and paint finishing systems.  

The combination of the Trimac brands with Protherm creates the only solution in North America to design and manufacture a complete range of infrared and convection.  “Our Kemac line of cabinet, inline and pretreatment washers only adds to the challenges we can solve. We want to provide our customers choices for the right heating or cleaning solution based on their part, not just based upon what we make,” said Sawyer.  “The combination of the full range of infrared with convection enhances our unique designs such as full infrared systems, combining electric and catalytic and other applications where the three heating technologies of electric, catalytic and convection can offer more design solutions,” added Sawyer.

Protherm, LLC will continue operations at the same location and will benefit from the experience of the same employees.
