The Sly
Approach , Why We are Different
Many companies make air pollution control equipment, but none have been
doing it as long as Sly.
Over a century has passed since our original patent for cloth dust
collector. Over the years, we've learned plenty about the application
and fabrication of dust collectors and scrubbers. Here are the main
points:
"In the pollution control business, conservative application of
technology is best."
Equipment misapplication has no place in the air pollution control
business. Not only is improper equipment apt to fall short of collection
requirements, it is oftentimes more expensive to operate than the proper
machinery. For example, incorrect sizing and improper media choice can
easily lead to excessive maintenance and costly downtime. When you deal
with Sly, we have your best long term air pollution control interests in
mind.
"We believe in fitting the equipment to the customer's needs, not the
customer to the equipment's capabilities."
This approach earns us the respect and repeat business of many
sophisticated buyers of air pollution control equipment. These people,
many of whom buy dozens of dust collectors or scrubbers every few years,
have always represented a large portion of our customer base.
"We build our own equipment...for some very good reasons."
Part of the reason Sly can custom-make a dust collector or scrubber for
you while keeping a competitive price is just that: we are the
manufacturer. Unlike the majority of our competitors, we don't outsource
our dust collection production. We do our own engineering, sewing, metal
fabrication, painting, assembly, quality control, and laboratory R&D.
This way we control every step of the process, allowing us greater
flexibility to build the best dust collector or scrubber for your
individual needs. We have a strong commitment to shipping dates and
routinely guarantee ship dates when requested.
"Our obligation to the customer doesn't end when the equipment is
shipped."
Sly's staff engineers can promptly assist you in troubleshooting your
dust collector or scrubber or with other field service problems should
they arise at your facility. This committment to total customer support
helps guarantee superior value for your investment.
"We're a private company, and intend to stay that way."
The corporate restructurings and short term goals of today's business
scene aren't for us. Sly is owned and operated by descendants of the
founding family. We are in the dust collector business for the long run,
and will maintain the professionalism and continuity required to
contribute to the long term success of your business.
