HAAS Holzzerkleinerungs- und Fördertechnik

What HAAS Holzzerkleinerungs- und Fördertechnik does

HAAS Holzzerkleinerungs- und Fördertechnik GmbH, doing business as HAAS Recycling-Systems, is a German industrial-machinery manufacturer headquartered in Dreisbach, Rhineland-Palatinate, and founded in 1989. The company designs and builds size-reduction, screening, and materials-handling equipment for the recycling and biomass industries, with the two-shaft pre-shredder line TYRON (available mobile, hybrid mobile, and stationary) and the hammermill line ARTHOS as its core offerings. Supporting products include the ALVA mobile star screen, ECOSTAR dynamic screens (HEXTRA mobile, HEXACT stationary), Siebo drum screens, HTH and HAZ drum chippers, and loading/conveying systems. HAAS also designs and installs custom turnkey recycling plants, including steel structures, dust and noise protection, and process integration for space-constrained sites. The company's proprietary HAAS two-shaft system uses independently driven shafts with adjustable speed, direction, and reversing to prevent wrapping of long-fibre materials; the ARTHOS hammermill incorporates a ballistic chute that ejects ferrous and non-ferrous impurities without stopping the machine, and a hydraulically operated quick-change screen basket for rapid adjustment of output grain size from under 30 mm to over 500 mm.

HAAS sells primarily through direct enterprise field sales, supported by live machine demonstrations at customer sites, and through an international dealer network spanning at least 12 countries including Germany, Austria, Belgium, France, Italy, the Netherlands, Poland, Romania, Sweden, the UK, Saudi Arabia, and Japan. Revenue is generated from one-time sales of new equipment, custom plant engineering and installation contracts, machine rental (positioned as an alternative to capital purchase), spare parts and maintenance services, and refurbished/used machine sales (Gebrauchtmaschinen). Pricing is configured per-project and is not publicly disclosed. The company is structured as a private German GmbH with two Managing Directors (Volker Haas, the founder, and Sascha Kloft), 51-100 employees, and an active operating footprint evidenced by 2025 product news, May 2025 Dealerday, and a booked IFAT 2026 exhibition presence.

Target customers include waste management and recycling operators, biomass power plants and sawmills, PVC and plastics recyclers, and equipment rental companies across Western, Northern, and Central/Eastern Europe, the Middle East, and East Asia. Quantified performance benchmarks cited by the company include throughputs up to 100 t/h for the TYRON stationary, up to 80 t/h for the ARTHOS 2000-E stationary, and the longevity claim that the oldest operating TYRON has exceeded 35,000 hours. Strategic priorities inferred from recent activity include electrified/hybrid drive deployment, ATEX-compliant configurations for regulated environments, geographic expansion via the dealer network, and a rental channel to broaden customer access to the installed base.
