Welcome to Dorr-Oliver's
Open House
One can enjoy a visit to the major
manufacturing plant of Dorr-Oliver
more fully if they have some knowledge
of the plants previous days. Its
history has been a long growing one
making it a community leader over
the years.
A brief look at the early history of
the two corporate families will enable
us to link the present flourishing
world wide industry with the early
years of the Hazleton plant.
Dorr-Oliver characterizes its history
and its present growth in the
words "A beginning in gold - a future
unlimited".
The reference to gold takes the
company back to its founding days in
1904 when John Van Nostrand Dorr
invented a reciprocating rake classifier
to replace inadequate equipment
in a gold mine in which he was
a partner in Terry, S.D.
Two years later, Dr. Dorr developed
the Dorr-Thickener, the first
continuous mechanically operated
sedimentation unit.
At the same time, Edwin Letz
Oliver, faced with ' the necessity of
devising some means of separating
waste ore solids from gold bearing
chemical solution, developed the
Oliver Continuous Vacuum Filter at
the North Star Mines in Grass Valley,
California.
These two inventors were, in succeeding
years to leave the gold mining
industry to develop and manufacture
process equipment which frequently
complimented each others
operation in the mining and chemical
industries throughout the United
States.
During the 1930's they formed
joint operations abroad, and
climaxed their individual company
growth by merging their own organizations
into Dorr-Oliver, Incorporated,
near the close of 1954.

While all of this was taking place the Hazleton plant was
having its own auspicious beginning.
Ernest J . Sweetland, an inventor whose career paralleled
that ofE. L. Oliver and Dr. Dorr, played the major role in the
company's early development in Hazleton. The inventor of
the Sweetland Filter and a pioneer in industrial filtration, he
became president of the United Filter Corporation, a company
formed from the American and Kelly Filter Companies
and the Sweetland Filter Press Company. This company had
its beginning in 1907.
In 1919Sweetland looked for a plant site. He found a plant
in Hazleton with a foundry, office & machine shop. It was
situated on thirteen acres of land, most of it wooded. He
purchased the site, that ofthe present plant - and moved in.
Almost immediately, plans were made for expanding the
30,000 sq. ft. facilities and by the end of 1920, additions were
completed bringing the total to 53,000 sq. ft. The company's
products, the Sweetland Pressure Filter, American Disc Filter
and Plate and Frame Presser found welcome markets,
principally in the sugar producing industry and the metallurgical
fields.
In 1923, the manufacture of Kelly Filter was added at the
plant and the period from 1920 to 1928 was marked with
sizable growth for both the company and the plant itself. A
pattern shop and storage building was completed in 1925 and
the following year a north wing was added to the office building.
Then in 1928, a second era in the history of the plant began.
This is the year that the United Filter Corp. and the Oliver
Continuous Filter Corp. merged to form the Oliver United
Filters, Inc. The merger increased the combined operations
line of products measurably. The staff in Hazleton increased
and in 1929, an expansion of the facility, which included a
fabricating shop and a laboratory, was completed. Many filters
of Oliver origin began to appear on the assembly floor
and in 1937 the original foundry building was converted to an
assembly shop to accommodate the widened line of products
manufactured.The outbreak of World War II brought United
States industry to a hectic pace. In 1942, a long side bay was
added to the assembly shop to provide for expanding production.
Notable during this period was the production of Oliver
Synrub Filters built for the government for their synthetic
rubber program. This was an important contribution to the
company's war-time effort. The important post-war expansion
of the Hazleton facility took place in 1947 when the
capacity of the fabricating shop was doubled and a sizable
addition to the assembly shop was completed.
January 1, 1955 was the beginning of the third and most
important period in the history ofthe plant. This marked the
merging ofthe DorrCompany and Oliver United Filters, Inc.
to form Dorr-Oliver, Inc. An unprecedented increase of
equipment orders quickly filled the plant facility and sharply
raised the number of employees. By 1956, volumes of orders
entered by the company became too great for its production
capacity and it was decided to undertake an expansion ofthe
Hazleton plant. Fabricating shop space was again doubled
and the service departments gained much needed additional
floor space. This capacity increase, sizable as it was, was not
enough to balance production with sales and in late 1956, a
second capacity increase was announced. Under this program,
assembly shop space was enlarged to twice its 1947
proportions while the service shops again received increased
space. Much new equipment was installed and offices were
completely renovated and enlarged.
Additional phases of this expansion were increased in outside
storage area and material handling facilities and the
purchase of an unoccupied lot adjacent to the plant site and
its conversion into an improved parking area for employees
to· supplement the overcrowded existing lot.
While Dorr-Oliver was experiencing this unprecedented
growth, the Hazleton area was going through some of its most
trying times. There was a drastic decrease in coal mining
operations and related employment. Dorr-Oliver emerged as
a major industrial leader, providing stable employment
while unemployment ran rampant throughout the area. The
firm played an important role in the industrial rebuilding of
the area in conjunction with Can-Do, Hazleton's industrial
development organization. Dorr-Oliver management and its
employees actively supported a Can-Do drive for funds to
acquire property for industrial use and the construction of
shells to attract industrial prospects.
In 1960, another expansion was completed at the Hazleton
plant which brought the size of the plant to in excess of
222,000 sq. ft. In 1961 the centrifugal line of business was
transferred from the company's facility in Oakland, California
to Hazleton. In 1963, another major equipment line,
sedimentation, was transferred to Hazleton. This line of
equipment had been manufactured in the company's operation
in Denver, Colorado. The last decade and more importantly
the last fi ve years has seen millions of dollar in new
machine tools bein g installed in the Hazleton plant. These
new machine tools have enabled the Hazleton facility to
increase production, reduce costs, and reduce lead time required
to ship products to the customer. A new addition is
under construction at the present time. When this addition is
completed, the engine lathe section and the surface grinding
equipment will be moved in.
As this equipment is moved, preparation will be made for
the installation of a Giddings and Lewis computernumerically
controlled boring mill. This new machine tool
will cost a half million dollars.
Looking back, the history of the plant has been one of
continued growth in capacity and importance to its worldwide
organization and to the community itself. In 1919,50
employees ma naged a small foundry and shop. In the
mid-1950's the employment grew to 250 people and today itis
just under 500 capable, skilled personnel. This diverse team
of employees represent a combination of management,
supervision, skilled machinists, welders and assemblers, and
support personnel, and a skilled office force.
When you walk through the Hazleton manufacturing segment
of Dorr-Oliver, Inc., you will become witness to its great
heritage.

Manager, Wilbur Evans. We thank him for his kind cooperation.

Engine lathes are used where limited numbers of operations are
required, quantities are small, or threading operations are required
where dies are not available. Also they are capable ofclose tolerance
cutting. Included in the engine lathe photo are the tracer lat
operators. The tracer lathe performs machining operations {olio

Radial drill presses are used for a wide variety of cutting operations.
One thinks of a drill press as a tool used only to cut a round
hole using a drill bit. Using proper tool bars, cuting bars and bushings,
we use drill presses to perform many boring operations. Also
included in the photograph are tape drill operators. The tape drills
perform drilling operations from a punched tape. This allows the
operator to drill an infinite variety of holes without having to lay the
piece out or use expensive jigs or fixtures.

The Assembly Shop is divided into four major areas, Filtration,
Sedimentation, Centrifugal and DSM. The filtration assembly department
assembles mainly drum filters in sizes ranging up to 13'6"
in diameter and thirty two feet long. The fil ter drum in the largest of
this equipment weighs in excess of thirty ton and the vat in excess of
twenty ton.
The sedimentation group assembles the drive mechanisms. The
assembly of this equipment requires the installation of gearing to
exacting tolerances to assure a rei iabJe drive assembly. The largest
of these drive assemblies is 130" in diameter and weighs approximately
41 ,000 lbs. Dorr-Oliver center mechanisms drive equ ipment
up to 400 ft. in diameter.
The centrifugal group assembles and tests our high speed centrifuges.
These centrifuges range in size from 9" which rotate at a
speed of 9,000 RP.M. to 36" in diameter with a rotation speed of
2,600 R.P.M. The equipment uses high speed rotation as its method
of separation. The parts are made of stainless steel and require
precision machining and exacting balancing. They are used mainly
in the food industry. Other wide applications include the pharmaceutical
and chemical industries.
The DSM area fabricates a screen type filtration unit ranging ilJ
size from 8" to 7 ft. It uses either a pressure or gravity type of f10w
and the screen opening determines the magnitude ofthe separation.
The assemblers job requires the ability to take finished parts, fit
and precisely align them to drawing specification. The product lines
made in Hazleton require the stocking of over 12,000 part numbered
items plus many made special for jobs. This requires the assembler
to have broad knowledge of our product lines.
Sandblasting and painting operations are also a part of the assembly
department.

Time is rapidly approaching when
the new computer controlled Vertical
Turning Center will arrive. This new
Giddings and Lewis machine is the
most modern boring mill available. The
machine harnesses the power of a computer
for most calculations enabling
programmers to enter dimensions directly
from the part print.
All controls are located on a single
station convenient to the operator. Variable
information may be entered
quickly through the keyboard.
The machine will have a sixty inch
table and a twelve station tool changer.
(See related diagram.)
Another interesting feature is the
diagnostic service. The machine is tied
into a computer diagnostic service. If
you have a machining problem, the
computer will search out the difficulty
and print out the corrective action.
