The company also offers customizable Vacuum Reactors, for low-impact drying of sensitive materials through vacuum processing jacketed mixers. Marion Process Solutions, an 80-year-old company based in Marion, IA, custom manufactures processing solutions with industrial mixers and blenders, as well as vacuum and microwave drying systems. Kason produces VIBRO-BED vibratory fluid bed dryers and coolers that use an innovative circular processing unit to dry, cool or moisturize bulk chemicals, minerals, plastics, foods, dairy products, pharmaceuticals and other materials. VIBRO-BED units can be configured on a batch or continuous basis and operate at laboratory or production scales, all in a smaller footprint and with improved efficiency. Headquartered in Milburn, NJ, [Kason](https://www.kason.com/index.php) has over 50 years of experience designing and manufacturing screening, drying, cooling and processing equipment. “Between the two companies there is more than 130 years of experience,” said Henry Alamzad, Executive Vice President of AMP Thermal Process Group. “There are dozens of areas where our products, services and people offer synergies that will improve the thermal process solutions our customers need to remain innovative and competitive.” AMP Thermal Process Group will act at a high level as an engineering consultant, process and industry expert and thermal process collaboration specialist for companies in the pharmaceutical, food and beverage, chemical, special polymer, plastics, hemp and general heat transfer industries, among others. “We have two industry-leading companies serving a wide variety of thermal processing customers as separate entities,” said Sterner. “Combining their research and engineering has already resulted in innovative new products. The AMP Thermal Process Group is the natural next-step -- taking those products and expertise and helping customers create a total solution.” **About AMP Thermal Process Group (AMP TPG)![AMP_ThermalProcessLogo](https://blog.marionsolutions.com/hs-fs/hubfs/AMP_ThermalProcessLogo.png?width=358&name=AMP_ThermalProcessLogo.png)** AMP TPG excels in process engineering and consultative sales for thermal process solutions across multiple industries.
