What Haver Engineering does

Haver Engineering GmbH is a specialized German engineering office for processing technology (Aufbereitungstechnik), headquartered in Freiberg, Saxony. Founded in 2007 as a wholly-owned subsidiary of HAVER & BOECKER OHG and operating as an affiliated institute (An-Institut) of TU Bergakademie Freiberg, the firm provides research and development services across the mineral processing value chain. Its core technical domains are cleaning technology (Reinigungstechnik), which separates unwanted components to reduce mass flow and prepare material for downstream processing, and pelletizing/granulating (Pelletieren/Granulieren), an agglomeration technology using a pelletizing disc that combines agglomerating, crushing, and classifying mechanisms to produce uniform particle compounds. The company operates a pilot-scale Technikum (R&D center) for raw material testing, feasibility studies, and process validation.

The firm's offerings span the full engineering lifecycle: characterization of raw materials and products, experimental investigations, feasibility analyses, process and machine development, design and planning, and plant operation support. Customer segments are vertical-industrial: chemical industry, cement, rock and metal ore mining, and recycling, with primary emphasis on the first three and recycling as a secondary segment. Typical engagements are project-based and quote-driven, ranging from single characterization studies to multi-stage process development programs. The go-to-market is sales-led, relying on direct B2B engagement, trade show presence (e.g., POWTECH, interpack), and the broader Haver & Boecker group's corporate channels rather than self-service or productized sales.

Revenue comes from professional services rendered under project-based contracts, with no public pricing or subscription model. The company is a privately-held German limited liability company with no public listing, no disclosed funding history, and no subsidiaries of its own. Its competitive position rests on the academic-industrial bridge to TU Bergakademie Freiberg, a specialized process engineering team that includes multiple Dr.-Ing.-credentialed staff, and integration into the diversified Haver & Boecker group portfolio. As of the available data, no revenue figures are publicly disclosed.

Functional benefit

Products and services

• Aufbereitungstechnik (Processing Technology Engineering) Engineering services covering characterization and analysis of raw materials and products, experimental investigations, feasibility studies, process and machine development, design and planning, and plant operation for industrial clients in chemistry, building materials, cement, mining, and recycling sectors.
• Reinigungstechnik (Cleaning Technology) Cleaning processes that contribute to efficient use of natural resources by reducing mass flow through separation of unwanted components, relieving subsequent process stages and preparing material for further processing steps such as optical sorting.
• Pelletieren / Granulieren (Pelletizing / Granulating) Agglomeration technology combining particles into particle compounds with improved transport, processing and usage properties, focused on build-up agglomeration using a pelletizing disc that combines agglomerating, crushing and classifying mechanisms to produce products with very narrow particle size distribution and high uniformity.
• Technikum (Pilot Plant R&D Services) Experimental facilities for testing materials on a technical scale, conducting feasibility studies, and performing material analysis in a research and development center, offered to industrial clients for validation of processing approaches before full-scale implementation.

Quantifiable outcome

• Pelletizing disc technology produces products with very narrow particle size distribution and high degree of uniformity
