Louisiana Machinery expands DoppstadtUS team
The DoppstadtUS dealer network continues to expand at a brisk pace wqith the recent appointment of Louisiana Machinery. In operation for more than 80 years, and with 21 locations throughout the state, Louisiana Machinery has represented trusted, reliable service and support for all their customers. As a DoppstadtUS dealer, they will be able to offer even broader knowledge and experience for additional applications and needs.
A key economic centre on the gulf coast, Louisiana holds tremendous potential for developing new relationships as recycling and energy conversion opportunities mature. With Louisiana Machinery as a partner, they are now well-positioned to increase awareness and build their brand in this important territory.
“The applications markets for Doppstadt products in Louisiana is very underserved,” stated Darrell Samuels, director of business development for Louisiana Machinery.
”We believe that by leveraging the strong relationships we have throughout the state, we can play a key role in working with DoppstadtUS to uncover and develop this value.”
Steve Briscoe, DoppstadtUS regional manager, echoes that sentiment. “Building out an immature market requires an extra commitment, but the payoff can be quite significant. Louisiana Machinery is the perfect partner to help us become quickly established on the ground. We have already uncovered a number of strong and receptive leads.”
This has been a very successful year for DoppstadtUS with continued expansion of network of dealer partnerships.

AK 530
A powerful machine…
…for almost all kinds of grinding tasks, with a high throughput rate and a patented load-sensing material feed: DOPPSTADT AK 530. Thanks to the heavy gyrating mass, the flail drum with 1000 rpm and the free-swinging flail holders with replaceable flail tips, this grinder is unrivaled.
- The quickly replaceable grinding system is unique and the final product can be changed in less than 15 minutes.
- Maintenance-friendly thanks to large side doors and central lubrication.
- A replaceable grinding basket closes the grinding chamber at the rear end; the mesh size (30 - 400 mm / 1.2 - 15.7”) determines the material grain size.
- The load-sensing scraper floor leads the material to be grinded to the heavy feed-in roller with oscillating bearing which forwards the material securely into the grinding chamber. The scraper floor and the feed-in roller are driven separately!
- Short set-up times (< 10 min.) thanks to the hydraulically foldable discharge conveyor*, which can be equipped with an optional magnetic drum*.
- The swivelling radiator is easily accessible. For self-cleaning, the large fan is reversible. The low speed of the fan wheel keeps the noise level down.
- The free-swinging flail holders of the flail drum (gyrating mass appr. 2,5 t / 5,512 lb) are provided with easily replaceable flail tips that can be adjusted to the materials to be grinded (e.g. hard metal, armoured tips).
- Easy machine operation, remote control, the machine can be moved by the wheel loader bucket with grab and slip-on coupling or by the hydraulic drive*.
