MCLANAHAN – PIONEERS IN THE INDUSTRY
For the past 177 years, McLanahan Corporation has served as a leading supplier of
mineral processing equipment and, over time, has expanded to become a global supplier
of equipment for crushing, screening, sizing, breaking, feeding, waste management,
sampling and fines recovery.
riginally, McLanahan was established as
a foundry operation, but soon began
producing full scale equipment such as
the first Bradford Breakers in 1893. Not long
after, Samuel Calvin McLanahan patented the
first Single Roll Crusher in 1894, setting the
company’s future on a path to become a leading
equipment manufacturer.
Innovation continues today at McLanahan.
The company recently introduced the first
Recessed Plate and Membrane Filter Presses
that are designed, manufactured and serviced
by a U.S. company. This equipment is used to
recover fine solids from slurries and return
useable water to the operation. They have also
recently produced the Rocker Tooth Crusher to
crush large materials into sample size and the
LabMill Crusher, which reduces material to a
size suitable for laboratory testing.

in 2012, also added a line of hard rock
processing equipment. The Universal product
line of equipment consists of Impact Crushers,
Hammermills, Screens, Jaw Crushers, Portable
Plants and Apron, Pan and Wobbler Feeders.
With such a broad range of equipment,
McLanahan is able to offer customers a

EXPANDED PRESENCE & GROWTH
Acquisitions, new industry ventures and the
addition of global offices have allowed the
company to expand their market offerings and
become a provider of one of the most complete
equipment ranges in the world. The first major
acquisition was the purchase of HSS Sampling
Equipment in 1998, adding a line of bulk
material sampling systems for mineral
processing. They continued expanding their
existing wet processing equipment line by
purchasing U.S. Linatex Processing Technologies
in 2001, followed by a polymer facility in Florida
in 2008. The most recent acquisition, Universal
Engineering Corp., has brought a large range of
hard rock crushers, feeders and more to
McLanahan’s product line.
HSS Two-Stage Sampling System
In addition to the U.S. based offices in
Pennsylvania, Florida, Tennessee and Iowa, the
company has also expanded to include offices
across the globe. Since opening its first
international location in Newcastle, Australia in
2003, McLanahan has been able to make a
significant impact on the Australian, Asian and
Pacific Rim markets. The success of this
international office led to the opening of an
office in Southeast England in early 2012 to
serve the European market. Due to the success
of these offices, plans are underway for future
locations in South America and Southern Africa.
