At the end of the 19th and beginning of the 20th century, the company played a leading role in the development of steam injectors in Germany and Europe.
Körting still produces pump and pump-based vacuum technology, but also industrial burners and machinery related to thermal and chemical purification/transformation processes.
The enterprise grew quickly, and in a few years established proxies in Germany and neighboring European lands (London, Paris, Milan, Genoa, Barcelona, Breslau (Wrocław), St. Petersburg, Vienna) and overseas (Philadelphia).
The product line was continually adjusted throughout the 20th century, whereby the core competence – flow devices (ejector pumps, nozzles, and industrial burners) – became ever more sophisticated.
The Körting design was quite successful in a range of applications particularly large installations powered by blast furnace gas.
The prototype 350bhp engine was tested in June 1900 and the results presented in the 1900 annual meeting of the "Verein von Gas-und Wassefach Männern".
[3] This article states that a four-stroke version of the double acting design was introduced two year before which also had both piston and rod cooled by water.
Although Körting were known for their unusual double acting two-stroke, they made a range of more conventional engines over a long period.
