For many decades Eirich has offered top technologies for the preparation of raw materials and compounds in the ceramic industry. At this year’s CERAMITEC – the world’s leading trade fair for the ceramic industry – Eirich will be presenting innovations and technologies that are designed to enable more cost-effective…

Development and production of high-performance materials for combustion chambers in gas turbines – using mixing technology from EIRICH Electric current, or electric energy to be more precise, is at the heart of what makes a progressive, advanced society tick. Demand for electricity is constantly growing, not least due to our increasing usage of information technology and telecommunications. Electric energy is generated through conversion of other forms of energy. Although the profile of renewable energy sources like wind and solar power is constantly rising at present there is no getting away from the need to generate at least some of the energy we require from fossil fuels. We expect the highest efficiency from power stations, so that the energy available in the fuel is converted with minimal losses to heat and electricity. The high process temperatures demand high-performance materials. And when it comes to developing and producing these materials, companies and research institutions regularly opt for the best mixing technology available on the market – i.e. for mixing technology from Eirich. When…

Atik Metal and a renowned vehicle manufacturer both invest in quality and the environment Foundry technology is highly advanced. In recent decades it has formed the basis of countless further developments, particularly in the field of automotive construction. Cast components are integral to almost all industries. For casting with lost molds, metal foundries often use the important raw material sand as the molding material, together with clay as a binder. This molding sand needs to be specially prepared for the casting process, where it is subjected to high temperatures. Maschinenfabrik Gustav Eirich is the technology leader for cost-effective and eco-friendly sand preparation and offers a sustainable solution to the industry: a molding sand preparation system that reduces the number of rejected castings, saves energy, and reduces emissions. For foundries that want to achieve optimum molding material quality with a highly cost-effective solution, the environmentally friendly EVACTHERM® process from EIRICH for cooling of the old sand and preparation of the…

A refractory company in Taiwan decides to use mixing technology from EIRICH for the preparation of unshaped refractory mixes. There are a large number of companies worldwide that manufacture refractory products and offer kiln linings, e.g. for the production of aluminum, iron and steel, glass, ceramics or cement. Standards distinguish between "shaped products" (bricks) and "unshaped products" (which include castables and also ramming mixes or plastic mixes). Brick production has been steadily declining for decades, while unshaped refractory mixes production is on the rise. And the mixes are becoming more and more demanding. For the preparation of dry mixes based on alumina as well as magnesia, Hsin Lian Hsin Enterprise Co., Ltd, Taiwan, has chosen the best available mixing technology - EIRICH. While refractory bricks go a long way in production (mixing, shaping, heat treatment), unshaped mixes are ready for shipment after mixing. Mixers for the refractory industry must, on the one hand, mix well, and on the other hand, cope with hard raw materials (such as corundum or silicon carbide)…

EIRICH seminar events “Practical Know-How – Mixing, Granulating, Kneading and Dispersing” planned to restart in June 2021 In many industries, the procedural steps of mixing, granulating, kneading, and dispersing represent the quality-defining stage in production. EIRICH offers free one-day training events at the company’s headquarters in Hardheim four times a year. These seminars have been very popular for years, but since last autumn all scheduled events have had to be canceled due to the impact of Covid-19. New dates have now been planned to start from June 24, 2021, and it is already possible to register online at universities teach the basic theory of dynamic mixers (units with moving mixing elements and/or moving containers), they do not cover practical aspects. In order to expand practical knowledge and know-how, Eirich offers seminar events for employees of industrial companies and for university employees in which the company shows what can be done today when it comes to mixing, granulating, kneading, and dispersing. The seminars look at the modes of action and performance potential…
