About Wilh. Schmitz
Wilh. Schmitz Maschinen- und Apparatebau GmbH in Leverkusen has been active in mechanical and apparatus engineering for over 75 years, manufacturing for chemical corporations and the petrochemical industry throughout Europe. The production range includes pressure vessels, columns, heat exchangers, agitated vessels, sheet metal and welded constructions as well as dust extraction and conveying technology. In addition, we offer repairs, custom-made products and subsequent installation and conversion work on existing plants. Processing is carried out in accordance with AD 2000 – HP 0 in material groups such as general and heat-resistant structural steels, rust- and acid-resistant steels, ferritic-austenitic steels, pure nickel, nickel alloys and titanium. Qualified employees ensure professional execution even under the most demanding material requirements.

Materials & Processes
Material groups according to AD 2000 – HP 0
Basis of material selection for pressure-bearing apparatus and vessels.
General structural steels
Used in sheet metal and welded constructions as well as general vessel construction.
Heat-resistant steels
For temperature-stressed pressure vessels and apparatus.
Low-temperature and heat-resistant fine-grained structural steels
For stresses at low and elevated temperatures.
Rust- and acid-resistant steels
Corrosion-resistant version, among others for agitated vessels.
Ferritic-austenitic steels
Highly corrosion-resistant duplex materials for aggressive media.
Pure nickel
For highly corrosive media in chemical processes.
Nickel alloys
High-alloy materials, among others for heat exchangers and pressure vessels.
Titanium
For the highest corrosion stress in chemical and petrochemical plants.
