ACC
Automotive Cells Company, a European joint venture specialised in battery cells for electric vehicles, relies on Eirich technology for the development of its production processes.
Hardheim · Germany · since 1863 Material preparation
From a 0.1 litre
recipe to a
12,000 litre batch.
One mixing principle, engineered into a full family of machines. Eirich builds intensive mixers, grinding mills and turnkey plants for battery, foundry, ceramics, refractory and concrete producers. Every line is scaled from the exact recipe that worked in our Technikum.

Real lines. Named customers. Published results.
Most mixer manufacturers hide their customer list. Every story below is already on our public newsroom, with names, projects and dates. These are Eirich lines that are running, not slides. If you want to visit one we will arrange it.
Iron ore pellets
Apr 2025
Ferrexpo
For a quarter of a century there has been a deep connection between this Ukrainian iron ore producer and the mixing machinery experts from Hardheim.
Precast concrete
Apr 2025
Betonwerk Carl Plötner
A renowned German producer of high quality concrete products modernised its mixing lines with Eirich to boost efficiency and product quality.
Refractories
Partner
Schmitter
Specialist refractory producer Schmitter runs Eirich intensive mixers for the preparation of demanding refractory masses.
One principle · three scales
Scale without switching machine.
Every Eirich line shares the same pan and rotor geometry. What worked in 5 litres in our Technikum works in 12,000 litres on your plant floor. No re-qualification, no second recipe.
0.1 – 5 L
Laboratory
Recipe development, process screening, scale-up protocols. Trial batches for R&D and gigafactory qualification.
40 – 2,000 L
Production
Pilot and small series runs for specialty ceramics, electrode slurries, catalysts and high-value compounds.
3,000 – 12,000 L
Plant scale
Industrial lines for foundry sand, mineral processing, battery active material and mass concrete.

Detailed spec sheets The Eirich principle
A rotating pan. A high speed rotor. One direction fights the other.
In a conventional mixer the tool drags the material around the vessel. The batch moves, but it moves together. Agglomerates survive. Fines escape the shear zone.
In an Eirich mixer the pan turns one way, the rotor turns the other. Material is forced through the rotor at every revolution. Shear is concentrated, energy is uniform, and the same trajectories repeat from 5 litres to 12,000 litres.

Digital solutions
The line you do not have to babysit.
Eirich ships inline analytics, plant visualisation, remote service and predictive maintenance as part of the machine, not as a bolt-on. Four modules that keep a line in specification without a constant operator on the pan.
Module 01
QualiMaster
Inline material analytics
Real time particle, moisture and homogeneity tracking. AT1 · AC1 · MT1 · RT1 · RT2 · VC1 across the material chain.
Module 02
ProView
Plant visualisation
Live process view across every mixer, weighing station and conveyor in the line.
Module 03
Teleservice
Remote engineering support
Engineers from Hardheim connected directly to the machine, anywhere in the world.
Module 04
Condition Monitoring
Predictive maintenance
Vibration and wear telemetry feeding into preventive service windows before unplanned downtime.

One way to know
Bring us your recipe.
We will run it.
Ship us a sample, or come to Hardheim with a drum. Our Technikum has 40+ intensive mixers across every scale from 0.1 litre to 2,000 litres. We will run your material, hand you the report and scale the same recipe onto your production line.
