Gebr. Lödige Maschinenbau, Paderborn, Germany, has introduced control by touchscreen panel as a replacement to conventional pushbuttons for its L-series of ploughshare laboratory mixers. This development provides user-friendly visualisation of the controls, with a clear and uniformly designed screen display. The basic functions are performed using easy-to-understand icons, thereby ensuring intuitive operation of the mixer. Furthermore, fast start-up of the machine pays off in day-to-day running. For example, the mixer shaft speed is infinitely variable via the touchscreen panel. Also providing easier and more ergonomic control, the touchscreen panel offers a further major advantage: the smooth surfaces help facilitate problem-free, thorough exterior cleaning.

The basic version of the company’s MGTL laboratory mixing granulator is also available with this latest innovation.
