Pumps and Systems for the Manufacture of Detergents and Cleaners

We support plant construction companies, manufacturers, and processors in the detergent and cleaner industry with pumps and systems for many different processes. Whether pumps for detergent production or complete systems for the manufacture of cleaners – LEWA has exactly what you need!

We work with you to plan all the important process-related operations, such as conveying, metering, mixing, heating, and cooling so that you can process your raw product cost-effectively.

Cleaners and detergents
precise, formula-controlled systems with LEWA

LEWA offers continually operating, formula-controlled systems for the manufacture of household and industrial cleaners in all commercially available surfactant concentrations – from raw product to end product.

We use surfactants as the main active ingredients as they have special properties. Each molecule has one hydrophobic and one hydrophilic end. LEWA also supports surfactant production and processing. You can find more detailed information about this in our Chemical industry description and in the example application Systems for surfactant processing.
