Lewa Sells Norwegian Subsidiary to Ellingsen Systems AS

LEWA has significantly improved the performance of its LEWA ecoflow LDG process pump. The upgraded model delivers a 15% increase in hydraulic power within the same footprint. This development enables operators to benefit from better performance with no increase in installation space or cost.

Innovative companies often have an interesting history. One tradition-conscious market leader is the German vacuum specialist Leybold. Founded by Ernst Leybold in Cologne in 1850, the company has achieved numerous pioneering milestones and product developments. Now, in 2025, the renowned manufacturer is celebrating its 175th anniversary.

Clean water, the most important raw product in the world, is increasingly becoming a luxury good. Water treatment is therefore becoming more and more important. A chemical company produces sulfate granules at its site in Sweden for this purpose.

A global manufacturer of confectionery most recently used an injection system with a twelve-headed pump and single motor from a well-known LEWA competitor. However, the system, which dated back to the 1990s, could only be operated manually, meaning that it had to be monitored around the clock by an operator.

The demand for oligonucleotide-based drugs is constantly increasing. To meet the increased demand, pump and system manufacturer LEWA is supplying pharmaceutical supplier Bachem with a new inline dilution system to expand production capacities at the company’s main site in Bubendorf (Switzerland) in the company’s largest production building to date. The system enables precise and flexible dosing of dilution solutions.

For applications in process technology with medium hydraulic outputs, the question often arises as to whether the pulsation of an oscillating pump with only one plunger is too high. It is not uncommon for a less expensive single-head pump to be used in this transitional area.
