What Armin Hamma environmental technology does

Armin Hamma Umwelttechnik (HAMMA) is a privately-held German industrial equipment manufacturer founded in 2002 and headquartered at Kettelerstraße 44-46 in Tuttlingen, southern Germany — a region historically associated with medical technology and precision manufacturing. The company's exclusive focus is cooling lubricant care technology for the metalworking industry, and it is certified to DIN EN ISO 9001:2015 for the development and manufacture of its products. Its portfolio centers on three integrated product families: the MISCEO electronic mixing device family (precisely blending water-miscible cooling lubricants from 0.5% to 15% concentration in 0.1% steps via a proprietary rotation-initiation mixing process, with automatic shutoff and fill-level detection), the RAPID oil skimmer series (continuous removal of tramp oils from machine coolant tanks using a proprietary squeegee/wiper system, available in models 1.1 through 6 and covering tank surfaces from 2 m² to 15 m²), and the BIOBALANCE biological care system (maintaining the natural biological equilibrium of coolants to prevent microbial overgrowth of germs, bacteria, fungi, and yeasts). Supporting products include the MIKRO micro-aerator, CLEAN TOWER cleaning tower, BIOBALANCE Pflegekonsole monitoring console, RUBI foreign-oil collection container, Fasswagen barrel cart, and a Testkoffer for measuring coolant concentration and pH.

HAMMA generates revenue through three streams: one-time equipment sales (base skimmers priced from €449 for the compact RAPID 6 up to ~€1,300 for the RAPID 3.1 24V DC hose skimmer, with premium configurations such as the RAPID 5 with Universal-Halter at €925 and high-temperature Spezial variants at €725), recurring MISCEO rentals for maintenance periods, and ongoing consumables sales (replacement skimmer bands at €42-210 depending on size and chemistry, plus a wide range of accessories). Most catalog items carry "request price" messaging and trade on direct inquiry funnels rather than transparent online checkout, suggesting quote-based selling even on the e-commerce storefront. The company sells primarily through its own multilingual e-commerce website (14+ languages: DE, EN, FR, IT, ES, PT, NL, FI, CS, HU, PL, SK, RO, ZH), with marketing additionally spanning organic social channels (LinkedIn, Facebook, Instagram, YouTube) and industry trade shows, including AMB 2026 in Stuttgart and the MTE Hausmesse 2026 in Montabaur-Heiligenroth. The customer target is metalworking manufacturers — CNC, milling, turning, and grinding operations — where bacterial contamination, tramp oil, incorrect concentration, and tool wear drive operational cost and quality issues.

HAMMA operates as a small, founder-controlled business with 11-50 employees, bearing the founder's name (Armin Hamma), with no disclosed venture capital, private equity, or institutional investor participation in available data. A related sister company, Hamma-Elektronik, provides electrical engineering services, indicating either shared ownership or vertical integration of electronics capability within the founder's circle of entities. Geographic focus is concentrated in Germany with European secondary reach through the multilingual storefront, and there are no named enterprise customers, no disclosed export distributors, and no separate regional offices in the available data. Revenue is not publicly disclosed.

Core offering

Armin Hamma Umwelttechnik (HAMMA) designs, develops, and manufactures industrial cooling lubricant care systems for the metalworking industry. The product portfolio includes the MISCEO line of electronically controlled coolant mixing devices, the RAPID series of oil skimmers for removing tramp oil from emulsions, and the BIOBALANCE biological care system for maintaining microbial equilibrium in metalworking fluids.

Product overview

Armin Hamma Umwelttechnik offers a comprehensive portfolio of industrial cooling lubricant care products for the metalworking industry, certified to DIN EN ISO 9001:2015. The product range centers on the BIOBALANCE care system concept, which maintains natural biological balance of cooling lubricants to prevent unwanted microbial growth. Core products include the MISCEO mixing device family (Standard, Exklusiv, Premium variants) that precisely blends water-miscible cooling lubricants using rotation-initiation technology, and the RAPID oil skimmer series (models 1.1, 2.1, 3.1, 4, 5, and 6) for removing foreign oils from machine tanks. Supporting products include the MIKRO micro-aerator for biological balance support, CLEAN TOWER care system, BIOBALANCE Pflegekonsole for system monitoring, and various accessories including RUBI collection containers, skimmer bands, wiper blades, and barrel handling equipment. The products work together as an integrated care ecosystem: MISCEO ensures precise coolant mixing, RAPID skimmers remove tramp oils continuously, and BIOBALANCE components maintain biological equilibrium for optimal cooling lubricant performance and extended tool/machine life.
