Elnik Systems, LLC is a United States-based manufacturing company which produces processing equipment for the metal injection molding (MIM) industry. Elnik System provides equipment that performs the first stage debinding of MIM parts and furnaces for second stage debinding and sintering. Elnik developed the first MIM furnace which performed both the second stage debinding and sintering processes in a single piece of equipment. Headquartered in Cedar Grove, New Jersey, it is a family run business. Elnik is a small company with only two offices and approximately 40 employees, but it does business on a global level with Elnik equipment installed in over 20 countries.

Applications

Elnik’s primary product is its MIM 3000 series, which are furnaces which have the capability to process MIM parts consisting of any metal with any binder without moving the parts during the run cycle. These furnaces are used for the second stage debinding and sintering of metal parts in a variety of industries. Elnik Systems manufactures first stage debinding equipment including Water Debinding, Solvent Debinding and Catalytic Debinding. Another part of Elnik's portfolio are products for the heat treating industry. This portfolio includes high temperature vacuum and atmosphere ovens, hot zones and retorts made of molybdenum or graphite, oil free infrared vacuum ovens, double vacuum tube exhaust stations, carbonizer and carburizer systems, bell jars, bell jar hoists, deposit systems, and brazing ovens.

Milestones

  • In 1969, Elnik was established as Elnik Instruments, Inc, as a wholly owned subsidiary of W.H. Joens & Co. GMBH to market the company’s line of temperature controllers, recorders, and programmers.
  • In 1982, Elnik Instruments shifted its manufacturing focus to complete vacuum furnace systems.
  • In 1986, Elnik Instruments separated from W.H. Joens and Co and was rebranded Elnik Systems. The new company opened its office in the Fairfield, New Jersey.
  • In 1994, Elnik Systems developed the first one-step MIM partial pressure furnace, which performed both the debinding and sintering process in a single machine. This single furnace process helped to lower the monetary and time-based costs associated with the two-furnace technology previously used.
  • In 1999, Elnik Systems opened its new headquarters and primary manufacturing center in Cedar Grove, New Jersey.
  • In 2009, Elnik Systems opened a second branch in Orange, California for the purpose of providing field service to west coast clients.
