:: About Us ::

Schold, operating out of two manufacturing locations, (Chicago, IL and St. Petersburg, FL),has been providing patented processing equipment to the dispersion industry since 1949.  Its grass roots approach to machinery design, function and maintenance has proved priceless in developing a respected and enduring reputation throughout the world.  Schold has worked hard to put forth a commitment to its customers and their industries. 

We take great pride in our abilities to serve the demanding needs of the largest international companies with integrity and quality.  Schold's success is built on our personalized, dependable service as well as treating the smallest and largest paint, ink and allied chemical producers equally.  Decades of sound technical experience with high-performance process equipment have prepared us for the challenges which lie ahead.

LAB-PILOT TEST FACILITY

Both of our manufacturing locations house complete test facilities utilizing full-size process equipment.  Each lab has stand-alone capability using all implements necessary, from separate three phase power supply to highly technical photo micrographs and infrared pyrometers.  For added customer comfort, out facility contains private areas for office use during customer visits.

All test evaluations, regardless of size, are conducted at no charge. MSDS sheets are required at the time of tests and all products processed and their wash solvents or vehicles must be returned to the source.

Schold's machine shops employ some of the largest and most accurate lathes in the industry.  Shop tolerances of bearing journals on the high-speed agitator shafts can consistently be held to .0002" to .0005".  Our largest lathes can swing 60" diameter, 20 feet long and can hold .0005" accuracy.  Both machine shops are self-sufficient with no outside machining employed and Schold cleans and recycles it's own cutting fluids in it's own treatment system.

CNC Lathes are only a part of Schold's complement of seven computerized numerical control machine tools for the high production of extremely close tolerance components.  Having the most contemporary computers with graphic displays and conversational formats, they can be programmed at the unit or from the office for consistency and quality, with power, speed, and accuracy.  Where castings are sometimes used to facilitate production demands, Schold manufactures from a solid billet of steel, stainless steel or alloys which proves far superior in strength, grain structure, and warpage stability of the finished piece.
