Electron Machine Corporation is proud to announce its 75th Anniversary and 15,000th shop order. Founded in 1946, Carl Vossberg Jr. began the Company to transition technologies first used to support the War Department and defense systems to those technologies used in industry. These methods further increased the quality of items built. Many of these technologies provided real-time processes control feedback from which changes could be made automatically to the output of the process. In today's terms, this was the advent of Advanced Process Control (APC). As a result of his efforts, Carl Vossberg, Jr. was the recipient of many patents.
In 1951 the Company was relocated from Long Island, NY to Umatilla, FL, although several other local cities were interested in hosting Electron Machine Corporation. In 1953, the Company received its charter in Florida, where the Company has been ever since. Over time, the product line manufactured by Electron Machine narrowed as manufacturing methods and equipment improved and early APC instruments became integrated into the actual production methods themselves.
In 1957 Electron Machine applied its first generation of In-line Process Refractometer to determine the sugar concentration (BRIX) of frozen concentrated orange juice. A unit of this vintage is on display in the Umatilla Historical Museum. This same instrument is capable of reading concentrations of many process fluids and acids and dissolved solids in a solution. This product line continues to this day at Electron Machine.
Carl Vossberg III led the Company for several decades, improving the remaining product family of In-line Process Refractometers and helped to establish Electron Machine Corporation's global reach. Now servicing Asia, Europe, North and South America, and Africa, Electron Machine Corporation is known worldwide.
Carl Vossberg IV now leads the organization as foreign markets continue to grow, and the In-Line Process Refractometer continues to advance in its capabilities and technologies. Wireless options, data logging, communications, and explosion-proof rated instruments serve to broaden the application base for the family of In-Line Process Refractometers.
The 75th Anniversary coincides with our 15,000th Shop Order, meaning 15,000 instruments and pipeline adapters have been manufactured here in Umatilla, FL, servicing the world.
