Historical Background
In the Fall of 1931 Dan B. Vincent placed in operation the first dryer used to produce dairy feed from citrus peel. This began a series of successful feedmilling systems. In 1936 a patent was issued to him for a dryer particularly adapted for the process, the first of more than twenty machinery and processing patents to issue over the next forty years. The business was incorporated as Dan B. Vincent, Inc. in 1946. It was active in domestic and international markets in the design, manufacture and installation of citrus processing plants for animal feed and pectin peel. The firm was also active in the field of fish processing and conversion of forage crops and sugar cane bagasse. As a refinement of these processes, the Company developed a superior screw dewatering press, first patented in 1961. In February, 1968 Dan Vincent entered into a contract to transfer ownership of the firm to the Rietz Company in Santa Rosa, California. Rietz was very successful in selling presses to the wine industry in California and international markets. However, they encountered financial difficulties in the 1970-1972 recession, and Vincent Corporation of Tampa resumed operations. In 2007 Vincent Corporation ceased to offer rotary drum dryers. This carry-over from the company’s origin was discontinued with much regret. Today we are focused on our key product line, screw presses. Throughout all these years the Company has been Tampa based, with all engineering and manufacturing taking place at progressively larger factories in the Ybor City area. Today the Company continues as a family-owned business.
