Gebrüder Lödige Maschinenbau, Paderborn, Germany, has secured the largest order in the history of the company. A Chinese manufacturer of fine chemicals ordered four mixing reactors of the DVT type. The customised machines with a total value in the upper single-digit million euro range are to be shipped to China in the second half of 2017.

The customer is investing in these new machines, on the one hand, to increase production capacity and, on the other hand, to enhance product quality. Furthermore, these machines will allow the company to meet the requirements as laid down by the Chinese environmental authorities. Lödige was selected primarily for its experience in process and machine engineering. In addition it was recognised for its expertise in mixing technology, and specifically for its ability to produce machines in accordance with Chinese pressure vessel regulations. 

 

As with all Lödige machines, these four mixing reactors with a volume of over 20m³ each will be engineered specifically to meet the customer’s requirements. This order emphasises the importance of the Asian market for the Paderborn machine manufacturer which this year expects to derive over a quarter of its business from the region. www.loedige.de
