CHARLOTTE, N.C., Nov. 22, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- SPX FLOW, Inc.
(NYSE: FLOW), a leading provider of process solutions for the
nutrition, health and industrial markets, is celebrating the
75th anniversary of Stelzer, one of its renowned mixing
solutions brands.
While Stelzer began building small-scale dairy product agitators
in 1946 in Germany, today its
products are critical components for processing plants worldwide.
Stelzer is part of SPX FLOW's leading mixing
solutions portfolio, alongside brands like Lightnin, Plenty,
Philadelphia Mixing Solutions and APV. The Stelzer brand
and its Germany-based team joined
the SPX FLOW family in early 2021 as part of the acquisition of UTG
Mixing Group.
Stelzer's latest successes include:
- Expanding its Mag Mixers into China, where its sanitary technology will
prevent contamination for food, pharmaceutical, biotechnology and
personal care companies.
- Helping a large wine and juice manufacturer grow its juice
production. Stelzer found a way to help secure future magnetic
applications without needing mechanical seals.
- Developing solutions to help a global leader that specializes
in making adhesives, sealants and functional coatings. The order
includes heavy-duty jacketed valves, pumps and fittings, as well as
an automation system with programmable logic controller (PLC),
human-machine interface (HMI) and process software for recipe
handling, including on-site-installation
"We're proud to have Stelzer as one of our premier brands,
continuing the strong legacy of quality and reliability for our
customers' most critical applications," said Wendy Malone, SPX FLOW's Vice President of
Mixing Solutions.
From milk and dairy to industrial and biogas
Stelzer is known globally for process know-how, versatile
technical experience, high-quality and durable products. It started
in 1946 in Warburg, Germany, when
Erwin Stelzer began producing
agitators for the milk and dairy industry. At the time, he called
his company Erwin Stelzer Rührtechnik, but several changes came in
the 1980s.
In 1985, the business was sold to Westfalia Separator AG, and
the company's name became Stelzer Rührtechnik GmbH. The following
year, the business moved from Anton-Böhlen-Straße to Speckgraben.
And in 1989, Stelzer expanded with its invention of new agitator
types for industrial applications.
In 1998, after joining Vaahto Group Plc., Stelzer Rührtechnik
International GmbH began to develop biogas agitators. The group was
purchased by Uutechnic Group Oyj in 2016, and earlier this year,
Uutechnic Group was acquired by SPX FLOW.
"The Stelzer team is highly skilled and dedicated to researching
and developing the right mixing solutions for our customers,"
Malone said. "We're proud to be celebrating this milestone with
them."
