The strong history of Andritz production in Foshan, China |
|
The Andritz Group, with its headquarters in Graz, Austria, is a multibillion-euro-group dedicated to supplying equipment and services to a wide range of processing industries worldwide.
The Andritz production in China started more than 12 years ago with a joint-venture company in Foshan, Guangdong.
In 2002 Andritz Technologies, Foshan, Guangdong, was established as a company 100% owned by Andritz, engaged in manufacturing and selling high-quality products in support of multiple Andritz divisions.
Since then the company has grown dramatically in China, with three production sites in the Guangdong province alone and close to 600 employees today. Andritz Technologies provides state-of-the-art production of competitive, high-quality products and services for all Andritz Group divisions on the Chinese and Asian markets.
It is within this dynamic production environment that Andritz Sprout in 2006 established production facilities to comply with the Asian needs in the feed and biofuel business of Andritz Sprout by means of equipment made in China according to its global designs and quality standards and matching local market needs.
Today a select range of Andritz Sprout products, such as extruders, conditioners, pellet mills and controls are produced in China.
Based on the successful initial establishment in China, Andritz Sprout is in process of establishing additional new workshops in Foshan, China, in order to provide the growing Asian market with an increased range of quality feed and biofuel products as well as the corresponding service support and know-how.
The machine program will be increased by a series of additional products from the Andritz Sprout global range of products to supplement both pelleting and extrusion lines. The products will be designed to meet the requirements of the Asian market.
The Andritz Sprout activities in China are managed by Mr. Richard Hickey, who after gaining 15 years of experience in the Asian market, is now heading the Andritz Sprout expansion plans for Chinese manufacturing and the enforced market coverage for the region. In support of the enforced sales and marketing in Asia, Andritz Sprout has additionally engaged Mr. Bjarne Them Jeppesen, who will support customers, agents and the Andritz Sprout regional sales and service offices in the Asian countries in cooperation with Richard Hickey.
Further to its facilities in Foshan, Guangdong province, Andritz Sprout is operating from its office in Shanghai, China headed by Mr. Xu Zheng.

Technical Support
|
|
| Our technical customer support take great care in the exact specifications you require for your dies and rolls. |
|
| |
|
| Raw Material |
|
| We offer a range of chrome steel alloys. By varying the vanadium, chromium, manganese, nickel and carbon content we can select a material suitable for every individual requirement. |
|
| |
|
| Precision Machining |
|
 |
| CNC machining centres, programmed with die dimensions for all makes and models of pellet mills, machine the basic shape of the die with precision accuracy. |
| |
| Gun Drilling |
| A fast and accurate process for optimizing highly polished holes. We pioneered this technique in the early 80’s, by optimising drill speed and controlling lubricants. |
| |
| Automated Countersink |
 |
| Carefully following the drill pattern, the countersink is machined into the die track. Countersink sizes are selected to enhance pelleting performance. |
| |
| Washing and Polishing |
| Oil, moisture and machining burrs are removed from the surface of the die prior to heat treatment. |
| |
| Vacuum Hardening |
| The heat treatment process is outmost important as it guaranties the uniformity of the product. We have invested substantially in the most modern hardening technology to produce dies with long lifetime and of high performance. |
| |
| Quality Control |
Each die is carefully inspected prior to shipment in order to ensure fulfillment of all specifications and quality.
We are convinced you also will benefit from working with us, and we would like to put this to the test! |
Roll Shells |
Roll shells operate under extremely harsh conditions. Massive forces are transferred from the die face through the bearings to the roll support shaft. It is vital that the dimensions are accurate and that the hardening process is of a very high standard.
We have developed roll shells to match the excellent performance of our dies. Roll shells are available in several patterns. We will guide our customers to select the correct design for their application. |
| |
| Refurbishing Dies and Rolls |
| We rebuild or replace roll assemblies. Many types of roll shells and components are available, such as dimpled, open- or closed-end as well as the RuftexTM type. On reworked dies, performance is restored with the same attention to detail and quality that goes into our newly manufactured dies. |
| |
| Support and Customer service |
We specialize in providing individual solutions and use our considerable experience to offer guidance on new designs specifications or applications.
Our high quality dies, rolls and parts offer you the best economy in the daily operation of you process plant.
