Eirich production floor with intensive mixers and material preparation equipment

Hardheim, Baden-Württemberg. Since 1863.

Material preparation,
engineered for
the world's toughest recipes.

For more than 160 years Eirich has built the machines, the processes and the plants that turn raw materials into finished product. From a 0.1 litre laboratory trial to a 12,000 litre production batch, on one patented mixing principle.

Product tiers

The right mixer
for every requirement.

Three size classes, one principle, full linear scale-up. The same recipe runs identically from the bench in Hardheim to the production hall at your site.

The Eirich mixing principle

A rotating pan.
An eccentric tool.
One patented idea.

The mixing pan rotates in one direction, the eccentrically mounted tool in the other. Energy input is decoupled from throughput, which lets a single machine fold gently or shear intensively without changing hardware.

Because the tool sits off-centre, the entire batch passes through the high-energy zone on every revolution. Particle dispersion is more uniform than in planetary mixers, and recipes scale linearly between 0.1 and 12,000 litres.

Next step

Bring us your recipe.
We will run it.

A conversation with an Eirich process engineer starts with your material, your moisture, and your target. Within a few weeks we can run that recipe on a real mixer at the Hardheim Technikum and hand back a protocol with numbers you can take to operations.
