The original C. J. Merrill, Inc. was founded by Carle Jewett Merrill in 1916, a Falmouth, Maine native and graduate engineer of Tufts University of Medford, Mass. Merrill was a corporation located in Portland, Maine USA that designed and built cellulosic and other industrial dryers from 1916 to the late 1960's. Merrill also designed air knives, coaters and allied equipment for the paper industry.
Merrill Air Engineers, Inc. today's firm, was formed in 1984 by Donald P. Curry, P. E., also a Tufts University engineer for the express reason to continue the previous work of Carle Merrill. The engineers of Merrill are today carrying on with the proud tradition of earlier engineers designing advanced technology air and drying systems for all industry.
Our staff works closely with the customers engineering staff from research and development to defining the project objectives to the conceptual engineering and finally to the formal system design, fabrication, and installation. Merrill provides continuity of management and responsibility from project initiation and concept to installation and startup which relieves the customer of many tedious project levels found in traditional methods of construction.

The advent of the Thermodyne Evaporator offers a new drying principle to cellulose and textile based products.
Rather than using air as the drying medium, it will use superheated steam or vapor, the water vapor that is released in the drying process from the articles being dried.
The drying process is controlled by the re-heated temperature of the superheated steam as well as the mass flow rate of the impinging vapor.
This is sometimes referred to as flux density or cfm/sf conveyor area.
Tests have been completed at the University of Maine to determine the new drying rates for free and bound water as we shift from "air" to "vapor" as the drying medium (flux).

The U.S. market for molded pulp products, after a relatively flat growth rate in 1997-1998, has picked-up and is steadily increasing.
Seven new molded pulp manufacturers have been established in the past three years and several existing companies have expanded with additional equipment.
Requests for information on molded pulp manufacturing and machinery have almost doubled this year.
We anticipate about a 25% increase in molded pulp manufacturing in the U.S. in the next three-year period.
Because of the strong environmental regulations that have recently been revised and enforced in other countries, U.S. manufacturers of products to be exported are now faced with heavy taxes unless they use packaging that is environmentally acceptable.
