Also in 2005 NIEMANN presented their products successfully on the largest Asian exhibition in the field of paints and varnishes, the China Coat 2005 in Shanghai. For the first time the exhibition took place in the new and modern exhibition centre in Shanghai, Pudong. On the exhibition stand of our agent, Hoslink Chemicals Ltd., Shanghai a KREIS-BASKET-MILL®, type KBM 180-20 FU was presented to the Chinese and Asian visitors. As expected the visitors were very interested in it.

At the MIDDLE EAST COATINGS SHOW 2005 NIEMANN presented a KREIS-BASKET-MILL for the first time. This new NIEMANN machine production series is to microdisperse lacquers in the batch operation and suitable to use moveable mixing containers. The first KREIS-BASKET-MILL was exhibited with a 37 kW drive, type KBM 411-50 FU and found an extraordinarily great interest at the visitors of the exhibition in Cairo. Already during the exhibition the first orders for this machine were placed with NIEMANN. Series manufacture of this machine has started. The KREIS-BASKET-MILL is available with driving powers of 15 to 75 kW and batch sizes of 100 to 2200 litres.
