Eirich: the perfect mix


The expert from Hardheim for mixing and processing technology enables the realisation of new product ideas. The processes of mixing, granulating, coating, encapsulating, dispersing and kneading can be realised in just one machine. With its own technical centre, the company also provides a testing ground for innovative ideas.

With its unique mixing process, the company enables the realisation of extraordinary product ideas in a single machine. With the Cleanline C5, several processes can be carried out at the same time: Mixing, deagglomerating, dispersing, granulating, coating, kneading and drying. In the one-pot process, the C5 not only increases efficiency, but also reduces the risk of contamination due to transfers between processes, which is a decisive advantage in the hygiene-sensitive industry. This ensures maximum flexibility in the process and the best mixing results. From gentle mixing to high-intensity mixing: The C5 enables the production of a wide range of consistencies and can be easily expanded with additional functions.

In order to try out new ideas and formulations first, Eirich has created an experimental field for testing and trialling with its technical centre. In almost 500 trials per year, customised solutions are developed together with customers and users. If a manufacturer wants to evaluate and compare new product ideas, they can carry out laboratory-scale tests and scale-up tests. Since 2024, Eirich has also been offering on-site visits by process engineers with a laboratory machine. Rental equipment is also available for longer practical tests.

Encapsulations are used where valuable ingredients are to be protected from environmental influences or where a delayed, controlled release is to be achieved. This creates new possibilities. Encapsulation allows products to retain their sensory properties over a longer period of time and can therefore be stored for longer. In the Cleanline C5, the encapsulation process is particularly energy-efficient compared to fluidised bed technology and can also be combined with other processes. This means that substances that cannot be fluidised in conventional systems can also be encapsulated. The device therefore offers plenty of scope for experimentation and the possibility of combining complex production steps. This makes the Eirich mixer an ideal solution for demanding processes and not just in food production.
