Lodige Launches Refreshed North American Process Technology Website for Manufacturing Decision-Makers

Lodige Process Technology, Inc. has launched a refreshed North American website at lodige-pt.com, built to help process engineers, plant managers and manufacturing executives quickly find the technical information they need — from machine specifications to industry-specific process solutions — and connect with the U.S.-based team that supports them.

When manufacturing professionals research industrial mixing, granulation, coating or drying equipment, they need more than a product catalog. They need to understand whether a supplier has the engineering depth, North American service presence and application experience to support their process from lab trials through full-scale production.

The new Lodige Process Technology website is designed to answer those questions directly.

What Does the New Lodige Process Technology Website Offer?

The refreshed site gives North American manufacturers a clearer window into the full scope of what Lodige Process Technology delivers: advanced industrial mixing, granulation, coating and drying systems — from lab-scale R&D units to fully automated production lines — backed by the engineering heritage of the global Lodige Group, founded in 1938 in Paderborn, Germany.

The site is organized around how manufacturers evaluate equipment: by industry, by process challenge and by machine type. Visitors in pharmaceuticals, food and pet nutrition, specialty chemicals, construction materials, battery materials, and environmental processing can navigate directly to content relevant to their application.

“North American manufacturers deserve a digital experience that reflects the precision and depth Lodige brings to the plant floor,” said Pete Kleinhenz, Lodige Process Technology general manager. The previous site served as a bridge to the global Lodige Group’s German-language content. “The refreshed North American site establishes a dedicated, English-language home for U.S., Canadian and Mexican manufacturers,” Kleinhenz said. The site’s copy, messaging and navigation is structured around the buying process of technical industrial buyers.

“Our goal is to help manufacturers — whether they’re running a pharmaceutical granulation line or scaling up a battery material process — understand what Lodige can do for them before they ever pick up the phone,” Kleinhenz said. “This website reflects who we are as a North American partner that’s credible, responsive and built for the long term.”

Who Lodige Process Technology Serves in North America

Lodige Process Technology, Inc. is the North American arm of the global Lodige Group, serving manufacturers in the U.S., Canada and Mexico that require precision-engineered processing equipment for complex production challenges. The company’s core industries include:

• Pharmaceuticals and nutraceuticals: Solid oral dosage manufacturers, API and excipient processors, and CDMOs requiring validated batch and continuous granulation systems.
• Food and pet nutrition: Powdered ingredient processors, functional blend manufacturers and high-volume lines requiring hygienic, sanitary equipment design.
• Specialty and industrial chemicals: Polymer, resin, pigment and fine chemical producers where batch-to-batch consistency and process repeatability are non-negotiable.
• Construction and building materials: Dry mortar, gypsum and cement additive processors requiring high-throughput continuous mixing and coating.
• Battery and advanced materials: Cathode and anode material producers, lithium-ion battery precursor processors, and advanced powder technology operations.
• Environmental and recycling technologies: Biomass and waste processing, soil remediation, and industrial byproduct recycling.

Standing Out From Other Industrial Mixing Equipment Suppliers

Lodige Process Technology, Inc. brings North American manufacturers a combination that is difficult to find in one supplier: 

• The engineering legacy of a family-owned company with more than 85 years of process technology development
• Proprietary Ploughshare® mixing technology that’s recognized globally
• A stateside team that provides service, spare parts and application support without the delays of working across international time zones

The Lodige Group has delivered more than 35,000 machines and systems worldwide and holds over 500 patents, which reflects genuine R&D investment, not marketing positioning. Every North American engagement begins with understanding the specific process challenge, not a standard equipment recommendation.

For manufacturers that have experienced the frustration of vendors who overpromise at the sales stage and underdeliver on support, Lodige Process Technology’s model, based on deep application engineering, test facility access before commitment and U.S.-based aftermarket support, is a substantive difference.

Explore the New Lodige Process Technology Website

Manufacturers evaluating industrial mixing, granulation, coating or drying equipment for North American operations are encouraged to visit lodige-pt.com, explore the process and industry content, and connect with the Lödige Process Technology team to discuss their application.

What is the Ploughshare® mixer?

The Ploughshare® mixer is a horizontal mixing system invented by Lodige in 1949. It operates on a mechanically generated fluid bed principle, producing rapid, highly homogeneous mixing across a wide range of materials and batch sizes. It is the foundational technology behind many of Lodige’s process systems and is recognized globally across pharmaceutical, food, chemical and advanced materials applications. Sizes range from 1 liter to 55,000 liters.

Does Lodige Process Technology offer U.S.-based service and support?

Lodige Process Technology, Inc., based in Florence, Kentucky, provides stateside application engineering, service support, training and spare parts availability. There is always someone in your time zone to call.

How does Lodige Process Technology approach the equipment selection process?

Lodige Process Technology does not begin with a standard equipment recommendation. The team starts by understanding the customer’s specific process: the material properties, desired outcomes, scale requirements and regulatory context. For many applications, testing in Lodige’s process development facilities allows customers to validate performance before making a capital commitment.
