History

1978 Wiesemann Engineering founded as a manufacturer of precision sheet metal and close tolerance machined components. Repair of worn and failed wastewater treatment equipment led to the design of new screening equipment and resulted in a number of patents still used in the water and wastewater industry today.

1984 The first through flow filter screen (present day Bull Shark Through Flow Screen) is manufactured and installed. The first of several patents for the Bull Shark screen are issued in 1985. Learn More

1988 The first center flow screen (present day Great White Center Flow Screen) is manufactured and installed. The first of several patents for the Great White screen are issued in 1989. Learn More

1991 The first in-channel grinder is manufactured and installed.

1992 The first in-pipe grinder is installed.

1996 Screen number 500 is installed.

1998 The first stepper screen is manufactured and installed. A patent for the design is awarded in 2000.

2001 Bruce Wiesemann retires and company name is changed to Hydro-Dyne Engineering Inc. under direction of Jay R. Conroy. Unique to the industry, manufacturing remains in-house with complete design and fabrication of all licensed equipment taking place at the factory. Significant investments are made in research & development, 3D CAD design software and remanufacture service of original screens. Grinder product line is discontinued.

2003 Screen number 1,000 is installed. Hydro-Dyne discontinues licensing and acquires all original patents and trademarks. Entire screening product line is later acquired from Wheelabrator/US Filter/Siemens, providing additional experience and records of hundreds of unique screening applications for the continued development of new equipment.

2005 The first wire mesh screen is patented and installed. This design paves the way for the first perforated panel screen to be installed in 2007.

2007 Operations are expanded with the purchase of a 20,000 sq. ft. office and manufacturing facility in Oldsmar, FL (Tampa Bay metropolitan area). The facility is solely dedicated to the design, production, and testing of screening equipment.

2008 Design and engineering converts to all 3D design.

2009 The first vortex grit trap and screw classifier is manufactured and installed.

2010 Screen number 1,500 is installed. The manufacturing plant is expanded for increased production, additional manufacturing equipment and employees. Additionally, the Hammerhead Onsite Screen Sizing (H.O.S.S.) system is developed. Learn More

2011 Hydro-Dyne’s Great White Center Flow Screen sets Screening Capture Ratio records at the National Screen Evaluation Facility at Chester Le Street STW Northumbrian Water. (93.25% for 2mm opening and 84% for 6mm opening)

2013 Screen number 2,000 installed.

2014 Operations expand again with the purchase of our current office and manufacturing facility in Clearwater, Florida (Tampa Bay metropolitan area). The 110,000 sq. ft. (10,000 m2) facility and ample land provide considerable room for continued growth.

Today Hydro-Dyne Engineering continues to introduce exceptional quality screening equipment and service to municipal and industrial water and wastewater markets. Time proven equipment and newly patented designs are constantly being manufactured as we continue to add to our list of satisfied customers throughout the world.

Tomorrow We will always be more than a screen supplier. We are inventors, engineers and manufacturers of exceptional quality stainless steel water and wastewater equipment.
