Comber Heritage

A legacy of drying and solid–liquid separation expertise, strengthened by De Dietrich.

A recognised engineering heritage

For decades, Comber has been recognised by process engineers for its distinctive approach to drying and solid–liquid separation. The brand has built its reputation on robust mechanical design, attention to cleanability, and reliable process performance across demanding pharmaceutical and chemical applications.

From agitator geometry to discharge systems, Comber equipment reflects a strong engineering culture focused on practical operation, long-term reliability and consistent results in industrial environments.

One of the defining elements of the Comber heritage lies in its original design solutions, developed to address real process constraints. Systems such as the Pressofiltro^® agitator and advanced cake discharge concepts illustrate this philosophy: simple in principle, precise in execution, and proven over decades of operation.

From Comber heritage to an expanded engineering expertise

Comber’s heritage is also closely linked to complementary Italian engineering expertise, including historical paddle dryer designs originating from CMR. These technologies have contributed to the development of heavy-duty and high-load drying solutions, particularly for chemical applications requiring intensive mixing and mechanical robustness.

Comber powered by De Dietrich

Now fully integrated within De Dietrich, Comber technology benefits from a stronger industrial framework and an extended portfolio. Being Comber powered by De Dietrich means access to a broader range of complementary equipment, reinforced service and spare parts support, global project execution capabilities, and dedicated testing resources through the De Dietrich Tech Lab.

A heritage focused on future applications

By combining historical expertise with De Dietrich’s engineering, service and system capabilities, Comber remains a trusted reference for customers seeking reliable, application-driven drying solutions.
