Sharpies Corporation

Sharpies A continuous soapmaking process using centrifuges, invented in 1939 by A. T. Scott at the Sharpies Corporation, Philadelphia. 

Meanwhile, the Sharpies Corporation was patenting basket and tubular bowl centrifuge developments, and the Bird Machine Company had not yet been formed. So the relatively sudden appearance on the market of conical bowl decanters by both companies in 1945/1946. is, in retrospect, quite surprising. The Sharpies P-1000 decanter had quite a rapid impact on the whale and fish oil market, so much so that AB Separator (not yet called Alfa Laval) was forced to copy the Sharpies machine, or lose a good market in the Norwegian fishing industry. 

Specialist centrifuge manufacturer. The Sharpies Corporation, now part of Alfa Laval, was one of the world s first two major manufacturers of decanters...
