Big challenges call for industrial solutions. At its Deggendorf site, DWE develops and manufactures reactor systems, pressure vessels, and special components in dimensions, weights, and material combinations that only a few manufacturing sites worldwide can master. The combination of engineering, in-house manufacturing depth, large-part machining, and decades of experience enables the economical realization of even the most complex apparatus and plant components.
Sizes and handling
DWE manufactures components up to 12 m in diameter, 80 m in length, and 1,500 t in piece weight. Dimensions like these require not only manufacturing areas and crane capacities on a corresponding scale, but also the experience to handle components of this size dimensionally accurately and without damage across every manufacturing step. This ability to safely master the weight and dimensions of even the largest single components is one of the foundations of DWE’s profile. The site’s integrated logistics options make a key contribution here: with its own Danube port, rail connection, and heavy-load infrastructure, even exceptionally large and heavy components can be transported directly from the manufacturing floor.
In-house manufacturing depth at a single site
From cutting, forming, welding, and machining to heat treatment, testing, and documentation, manufacturing comes together at a single site. This depth keeps control over every manufacturing step in-house — from the delivery of the material to the finished, tested component — and avoids the interfaces at which quality and schedules are otherwise lost. Manufacturing is complemented by extensive large-scale machining capacities, deep-hole drilling technology, and heat-treatment facilities for demanding pressure equipment and special materials.
