About DVA Holland-Merten GmbH

DVA Holland-Merten GmbH, based in Südharz OT Roßla, develops, designs and manufactures process machines and apparatus for the process engineering industry, in particular based on vacuum technology. The portfolio includes paddle dryers (Merto-Dry), drum dryers and drum coolers (Merto-Drum), vacuum/pressure Nutsche filters (Merto-Fil), cone dryers and cone mixers, vacuum chambers and vapor filters. The apparatus is manufactured in carbon steel, stainless steel and alloy materials such as Hastelloy and implemented in versions in accordance with ATEX, FDA, GMP, CIP, SIP and AD 2000. The company supplies the chemical and pharmaceutical industries, the organic and food industries, the minerals, ores and building materials sector, as well as environmental technology and other industries such as electrical, automotive and aviation. In addition to manufacturing, DVA offers a pilot plant for feasibility testing, analysis, measurement and control technology, and delivery of peripherals such as vacuum pump units, condensers, temperature control systems and process control systems. Service, assembly and commissioning are also part of the scope of services.

Materials and Processes

C-Stahl

Carbon steels

Used for cone dryers, Nutsche filters and vapor filters when no increased requirements for corrosion resistance apply.

VA

Stainless steels

Standard protection for product-contact surfaces, e.g. for cone dryers with hygiene and batch purity requirements.

HC

Hastelloy

High-grade alloy material for aggressive product media, especially in the chemical and pharmaceutical industries.

Vak

Vacuum technology

Core process for gentle drying of temperature-sensitive products, e.g. vacuum drum dryers from 10 mbar abs.

EX

ATEX / FDA / GMP / CIP / SIP / AD 2000

Design standards according to which DVA develops, produces and manufactures plants.
