The WeylChem Group has officially put a new multi-purpose custom manufacturing plant into operation at Lamotte in the Hauts-de-France region of France. This investment of around €7 million “strengthens our position as a versatile, high-quality partner with reliable European supply chains”, according to company president Uwe Brunk.
The project involved the comprehensive overhaul of an existing production line, by adding key elements such as an acid-proof 4 m2 Hastelloy filter dryer, a thin-film evaporator and a 10 m3 stainless steel reactor, enabling the line to reach temperatures of up to 200°C and a service pressure of up to 8 bars. There is also a high level of automation, including robotic elements.
