Western States Machine Company, founded in 1917 and based in Hamilton, Ohio, designs and manufactures centrifuges that separate liquids from solids. The business began with a focus on sugar industry equipment and broadened in 1950 to serve non-sugar sectors, including fine chemicals, agricultural chemicals, and pharmaceuticals. It operates under several brand names—Western States, Roberts Centrifugals, and Titan—and also acts as a distributor for Riera Nadeu, S.A., making it the only remaining U.S.-based sugar centrifuge manufacturer. Its customer base spans sugar and chem/pharma producers that rely on centrifuges to perform reliable liquid–solid separation in processing. The company emphasizes continuous operation through round-the-clock support. In 2021 it expanded its facilities to Spokane, Washington, signaling geographic growth, and the firm reports more than 6,000 centrifugals installed worldwide.
