Battery cells
Jan 2026
ACC
Automotive Cells Company, the European joint venture for EV battery cells, relies on Eirich technology for the development of its production processes.
Since 1863 · Hardheim, Germany
One mixer.
From 0.1 L
to 12,000 L.
Eirich builds intensive mixers, grinding mills and turnkey plants for battery, foundry, ceramics, refractory and concrete producers. One mixing principle, scaled across a family of machines.
In the Technikum
Hardheim, DE
The intensive mixer
A rotating pan. An eccentric rotor. The whole batch passes the tool on every turn.

Names on the
door.
Every line below is listed by name on the Eirich newsroom, with projects, dates and customers. Lines that are running, not slides. If you want to visit one, we will arrange it.
Iron ore pellets
Apr 2025
Ferrexpo
A quarter century of partnership between this Ukrainian iron ore producer and the mixing machinery engineers in Hardheim.
Precast concrete
Apr 2025
Betonwerk Plötner
A renowned German producer of high quality precast concrete 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
The pan turns
one way.
The rotor turns
the other.
In a conventional mixer the tool drags material around the vessel. The batch moves, but it moves together. Agglomerates survive. Fines escape the shear zone.
In an Eirich mixer the pan rotates one way and the rotor rotates 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.

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 and VC1 across the material chain.
Module 02
ProView
Plant visualisation
A live process view across every mixer, weighing station and conveyor on the line.
Module 03
Teleservice
Remote engineering support
Engineers in Hardheim connected directly to the machine, anywhere in the world.
Module 04
Condition Monitoring
Predictive maintenance
Vibration and wear telemetry feeding preventive service 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 forty intensive mixers across every scale from 0.1 litre to 2,000 litres. We run your material, hand you the report and scale the same recipe onto your production line.
