Lödige’s Continuous Ploughshare® Mixers are the ideal solution whenever sewage sludge requires efficient and reliable treatment. Continuous Ploughshare® Mixers are the ideal solution whenever sewage sludge requires efficient and reliable treatment, as Lödige Process Technology will be demonstrating at IFAT (booth A2.520). The tried-and-tested machinery enables operators of municipal and industrial sewage works to tailor their treatment of wet and dry sludge entirely to its intended use, such as getting it ready for mono-fuel combustion. Wet and dried sludge that has been mixed and treated inside a Ploughshare® Mixer in a continuous process boasts a pumpable consistency, exactly the right moisture content required to achieve the necessary calorific value and a particle size that ensures the perfect consistency. This provides reliable protection against the sludge sticking or turning into a paste. Additives such as lime can also be added in easily during processing. Lödige Ploughshare® Mixers have already proved their effectiveness in sludge treatment in many different places. They operate

Automatic WIP systems have established themselves as a suitable technical solution for life science applications to ensure a reliable and repeatable process for cleaning mixing systems. A reliable and repeatable process for cleaning of mixing systems – as e. g. Ploughshare® Mixers by Lödige Process Technology – takes on an increasingly important role for companies handling Life-Science-applications. Automatic WIP-Systems have been established as a suitable technical solution for meeting these requirements. Beside the technical functionality, efficiency and the economy of cleaning systems are also playing an ever increasing role. The amount of water, detergents and solvents, which are required per cleaning cycle, are supposed to be reduced to a minimum. By reducing the amounts of cleaning media and wastewater, savings of operating costs are achieved while also environmental considerations are taken into account and sustainable cleaning concepts can be developed. Therefore, especially for bigger machines, complete filling of process vessels with cleaning media should be avoided. Although this is not a mandatory requirement: A smart arrangement

The continuously operating Type CM CoriMix® Ringlayer Mixer from Lödige Process Technology is the ideal solution for moisture-sensitive powder batter mixes. Moisture-sensitive powder batter mixes, such as those used to make crisps and other savoury snacks, require a high degree of homogeneity combined with precisely controlled and extremely stable moisture levels. The continuously operating Type CM CoriMix® Ringlayer Mixer from Lödige Process Technology is the ideal solution for this demanding process engineering task. The machine must also comply with all current hygiene and ATEX specifications. Powdered batters for crisps, for example, consist of potato powder and other powdered ingredients. Water is then added to the dry premix. This process step is decisive for the quality of the end product. As only when the defined degree of moisture of the batter mix is guaranteed precisely and continuously, it can be deep-fried or baked perfectly and with a stable shape. The special challenge here is that the "return material", which is produced when the crips are cut out, is also continuously fed into the mixer. The task of
