New $2 billion Wacker plant to feature range of diffusers, plenums and grilles.

Wacker Chemical Corporation – a worldwide leader in the large-scale production of hyperpure polysilicon – has chosen AJ Manufacturing to provide a wide range of clean air distribution products for their new plant in Cleveland, Tennessee, located in the greater Chattanooga metropolitan area.

AJ Manufacturing products used throughout the new $2 billion dollar, 550-acre plant complex include custom laminar flow diffusers and plenums (as large as 10’ x 10’), swirl diffusers, as well as supply and return grilles. These clean air distribution devices will help Wacker produce the purest polysilicon material possible, which is primarily used in the production of photovoltaic cells for the solar energy industry and semiconductors for electronics.

Operating room design and construction just got easier.

After working with hospitals and medical centers — and their architects, engineers and contractors — for years, we’ve learned that they all face a common challenge: having enough space in operating room ceilings to meet the ever-changing, ever-growing standards and regulations for both airflow and lighting.

After hearing time and time again about these ceiling space issues, we thought of a great way to help — which may very well change the way future operating rooms are designed. We combined our popular Criti-Clean Fan Powered Laminar Flow HEPA Filter Diffuser with built-in surgical grade lighting. So now one compact unit does the work of two, maximizing valuable ceiling space!

Follow your order’s progress through each stage of production.

We’re very excited to announce that soon AJ Manufacturing customers will not only be able to track the shipping status of their orders after they leave our building, but they’ll also be able to monitor each order’s status as it moves through the manufacturing process.

It’s all thanks to a new online order tracking system that’s currently under development. Scheduled to be implemented this fall, the system will allow customers to log in and check order status online at ajmfg.com. Customers will enter their order number (provided to them at time of order entry), and the system will tell them whether their order has shipped, or if it’s not yet completed, provide its current location in the production process, along with an estimated shipping date.

Customized controls for a single unit or a linked network of up to 400.

Our exclusive Criti-Clean Fan Powered Laminar Flow HEPA Filter Diffuser has been a big success since it’s launch nearly two years ago.

The Criti-Clean diffusers, which can be used individually or linked together in groups of several units, are now available with a range of customizable controls — from simple wall-mounted speed control dials, to sophisticated touch screen PCs capable of mapping and simultaneously controlling up to 400 units.

Up to four times faster than conventional CO2 lasers.

At 400 inches per minute, we knew our first laser could cut fast. But with that workhorse running non-stop day in and day out, we went looking for something even faster. And now, after a thorough search, a significant rearranging of our manufacturing facility and weeks of installation and training, we’re proud to announce our newest addition is up and running — an Amada Fiber Optic Laser with the world’s fastest linear speed!

Needless to say, the new laser has given us a big boost in productivity (and our “old” Amada laser continues to run at full capacity). That means faster turnaround and shorter lead times for our customers than ever before.

Ideal for negative pressure rooms in healthcare facilities.

While our Criti-Clean Fan Powered Laminar Flow HEPA Filter Diffuser was developed to provide an inflow of consistent, uniformly-distributed conditioned air, there are also applications that require contaminants to be filtered before air leaves a room. That’s why we developed our new Reverse Flow Criti-Clean unit.
