Our Mission
Customers satisfied with our efforts to help them improve their processing operations is our first priority. We commit our resources and expertise to achieve this goal.

Company Profile
III Sigma is a leader in automated, on-line bulk density monitoring systems.  Our patented systems measure  bulk density of dry-flowing products with a frequency, consistency, and accuracy that other sampling methods can't.

Our customer list includes numerous Fortune 100 companies from the following categories:   Cereals, Grains, Fertilizers, Metal Powders, Pet Foods, Pharmaceuticals, Plastics, Polystyrene, Snack Foods, Wood Products, and others.

Many of our customers realize dramatic cost savings with the Reliadens™ system. Why?  Response times for process corrections are more timely, start-up to to good product happens very quickly, scrap rates are reduced, and packaging material can be reduced.

Company History
III Sigma was founded in 1993. The first monitoring system was shipped in late 1994. Brian Marlow, the company founder, spent 18 years in dry process production plants (pet foods and cereals) wrestling with bulk density sampling issues.

In Brian's experience, when a bulk density sample had a value outside of prescribed limits, questioning about problems with the test methods diverted attention from the real issues of getting and keeping the process under control.
While these "test/tester or process/product" debates ensued, tons of suspect product were cascading down the lines, and production could never reach peak outputs.

He decided to do something about the problem when, in response to his request to an employee for a bulk density sample, he heard "Sure Boss....what number do you want?".

Failing to find a straightforward, simple solution that didn't involve radiation, he decided to develop the solution himself. The Reliadens is the result of these 15 years plus an additional five years of research, development, and prototype testing to perfect today's Reliadens.
