Patents
The roots of the company LINGL were laid by the company’s founder, Hans Lingl sen., at Weilheim in Upper Bavaria. He installed his inventor’s workshop there and, in 1936 at the age of 26, he filed his first patent for engobing roof tiles. More than 100 patents followed in the course of his career.
The innovation activities and the inventive spirit of the Swabian company continue to this very day resulting in more than 300 applied for patents.
The first continuous dryer was built in 1954 and allowed for a significantly higher productivity combined with quality enhancement. In 1955, LINGL launched its first rotary cutter for the brick industry on the market and soon rotary cutters could be found in every modern brick plant. These inventions followed by many others formed the basis for the fully automated production in the brick industry.
The latest developments include among others products such as sanding technology for products, equipment for cutting contours into bricks, universal cutter with pre-cutting device, linear transfer device and an innovative operating concept. The rational use of energy in the ceramic production process is a central challenge and, here again, LINGL SOLEAD GmbH is setting important milestones for an energetically favourable ceramic production process.
To this day, the LINGL SOLEAD GmbH holds numerous patents and utility models.
