The Lauda APL 149 is a confectionery machine — also referred to in the industry as a confectionery processing unit — used in the production and temperature-controlled handling of confectionery products. Lauda is a well-established German manufacturer with a long history of producing precision temperature control and thermal management systems for industrial and scientific applications, serving sectors including food processing, chemicals, and pharmaceuticals.
This particular unit, carrying article number LSI 51274 and device number HKS06068, was manufactured in 2006 and is offered in used condition from a seller based in Germany. At its core, it functions as a heating and cooling system designed to manage and regulate process temperatures with accuracy and reliability. The heat transfer circuit operates using water as the medium, with a minimum volume flow of 0.5 m³/h and a nominal diameter of DN15. The system is rated for a maximum operating pressure of 16 bar, making it suitable for demanding industrial process conditions.
Electrically, the unit draws 12.8 kW of heating power and operates on a 400 V, three-phase, 50 Hz supply, with a current consumption of 18.5 A. The temperature range extends from +20°C to +160°C, covering a broad span of heating and cooling requirements typical in confectionery processing environments. The unit carries a degree of protection rating of IP 54, indicating resistance to dust ingress and water splashing, appropriate for production floor use.
Notably, the system also carries Ex protection certification to the classification II 2G EEx de IIB T3, meaning it is rated for use in potentially explosive atmospheres — a specification that broadens its suitability beyond standard food processing environments to include applications in chemical and pharmaceutical settings where hazardous area compliance is required. The listing price is $3,500.
