Wayne Products, Inc.
We began manufacturing Electra-Kool Filtered Ventilators in 1980 after speaking with a customer who had electrical components in his factory continuously failing due to heat and dust exposure. In 1989, Wayne Products found another way to help its customers operate their businesses more efficiently and expanded again, introducing our first generation Mini-Skimmer™ belt-type oil skimmer . Since then, Wayne Products has sold Mini-Skimmers™ by the thousands, expanding the product line to include Maxi-Skimmers™ for larger sump tanks, central coolant systems, aquifer monitoring wells, and environmental wastewater sites, in addition to accessories for each skimmer and custom skimmers for unique applications. Wayne Products was founded in 1978 as a filter distributor and has evolved into a specialty industrial products manufacturer selling proprietary and complimentary products worldwide from suburban Philadelphia.

About Us
After introducing the product line, we learned that Electra-Kool™ units were also very effective at cooling DC motors and have been selling ventilators to motor repair shops since 1984. In the decades since, Electra-Kool™ units have been used for a wide variety of applications – see www.electra-kool.com for examples! Electra-Kool ventilators are always a smart investment – prevent expensive factory downtime!
Mini-Skimmers™ are a wise investment – they prolong tool life, reduce coolant costs, reduce waste disposal costs, and provide countless environmental and health benefits – see www.mini-skimmer.com for more information!
Wayne Products has also been a national distributor for Royal Products’ Filtermist brand oil mist collectors since 1993 and a national distributor for Kooltronic air conditioners since 1995. Each brand compliments our proprietary brands perfectly and help us better serve our customers.
While Wayne Products’ Electra-Kool™ and Mini-Skimmer™ products vary widely in terms of size, all of our products are simple, reliable and effective. We serve a wide range of industries, including food processing, CNC machining, automobiles, foundries/refractories, aerospace, DC motor repair, steel, civil engineering, and environmental remediation. Through both brands, we are committed to preventing downtime in your facility, keeping your business running effectively & efficiently long after your Wayne Products purchase.
We manufacture all of our products from our 5,000 square foot facility in Broomall, PA, where we recently moved in February 2015 from nearby Malvern, PA. Our products are marketed and sold by us and distributed by major catalog houses, industrial supply companies and original equipment manufacturers.
