About VIRTO/ELCAN

Since 1985, Elcan Industries has worked with customers to find and implement advanced screening solutions. Prior to 1997, the primary technology utilized to improve screening performance over traditional vibratory screening machines was Minox Tumbler Screeners, with its gentle 3 dimensional motion settings and unique anti-blinding devices. Through superior customer service, as well as very profitable returns due to improved screening performance, we developed brand recognition as Minox/Elcan.

In 1997, Elcan started working with Kroosh Technologies to develop a new revolutionary screening machine. The Kroosh adapters provide a high energy multi-frequency action to the un-tensioned screen surface. The Kroosh machines were used in wet or dry separations and were available in round or rectangular configurations.

This groundbreaking technology was originally developed in Ashdod, Israel with all R&D and machine production coming out of this one site. As sales continued to grow, the ownership of Kroosh purchased Cuccolini in Reggio Emilia Italy, Europe's largest producer of screening equipment. This 2008 purchase allowed Kroosh to utilize Cuccolini's production capabilities to keep up with increased market demand.

The new ownership then decided to rebrand the entire screening group as The Virto Group. In 2010, Elcan Industries and The Virto Group signed a long term contract to provide screening equipment to the North American market. As a result, vibrating screening machines are being sold and serviced under the Virto/Elcan brand.

By 2001, in addition to machine sales, Elcan offered Toll Processing services to its customers to fill an unmet demand in the industry. Customer needs for developing new products, outsourcing low volume products, improving experience/techniques, or the outsourcing of difficult to screen materials initiated Elcan's 2005 expansion. With their larger space, including four separate manufacturing bays, Elcan can process both wet and dry materials to its customers' exact specifications.

Virto/Elcan has served many different markets and continues to excel as the experts in screening technology. We succeed where other traditional screeners fail or have difficulty processing. The value of our separation performance offers customers easy cost justification. Customers can now send any quantity to be screened on an array of ScreenX multi-frequency screening machines.

These vibrating screening machines specialize in difficult to screen products that cannot be screened efficiently on conventional screeners. Examples are sticky products that blind screens, static products that won't screen efficiently, very fine powder separations and delicate agglomerates that need to be screened very gently.
