McLanahan Corporation has acquired Diefenbach, an Italian manufacturer of thickeners and filter presses based out of Medolago, Italy.
Eagle Iron Works has also partnered with Diefenbach to offer Diefenbach's line of thickeners and filter presses to those who are looking to purchase a complete tailings and water management system from Eagle Iron Works. With this new partnership, Eagle Iron Works has expanded its end-to-end washing equipment portfolio.
Diefenbach's range of thickeners and filter presses will help producers recover reusable process water from the waste stream and therefore lessen the burden on ponds, reducing pond size as a result. Producers will be able to order Diefenbach branded filter presses and thickeners through Eagle Iron Works, as well as receive parts, service, and field service.
Diefenbach was founded in 1907. Diefenbach will continue to operate as an independent brand in the marketplace.
"This Diefenbach partnership will give EIW dealers a complete end-to-end washing equipment line," said Tim Miller, business line director. "Our customers have voiced the need for equipment that allow them to recover reusable process water and put it back in use for processing and lessen the need for pond space."
