TRENNSO-TECHNIK

What TRENNSO-TECHNIK does

TRENNSO-TECHNIK (legal name: Trenn- und Sortiertechnik GmbH) is a privately held German manufacturer founded in 1992 and headquartered in Weißenhorn, Germany. The company designs and builds industrial machines and complete turnkey plants (schlüsselfertige Anlagen) for dry bulk separation, screening, conveying, grinding, and recycling, operating as an independent Mittelstand specialty-machinery firm with no disclosed parent company, institutional investors, or external funding rounds. Its product portfolio spans six technology categories: density sorting (Trenntisch TTS, Vibrations-Längs-Tisch VLT), air classification (Windsichter ZZS/QSS), screening (Siebmaschine SIK/TSM/SIS/SVR and Rollen-Scheiben-Sternsiebmaschine RSS), conveying and dosing (elevators, screw and chain conveyors, belts, cyclones, rotary valves), grinding (Horizontale Turbomühle HOTU, Vertikale Hammermühle VEHA), and magnetic separation (Wirbelstrom-Barrierescheider WSB). The company serves enterprise customers across three verticals — food processing (tea, herbs, spices, cocoa, nuts, coffee, legumes, eggshell), recycling (plastics, e-waste, cables, tires, glass, wood, gypsum, construction debris, batteries, non-ferrous metals), and bulk material processing (mica, road grit, bath salt, sand) — and operates an in-house technical center (Technikum) where customer materials are tested to provide binding purity guarantees prior to sale.

The company makes money through three principal streams: (1) one-time industrial machinery sales of individual machines and turnkey complete plants; (2) engineering and project services including custom process design, in-house Technikum testing, and build engineering; and (3) after-sales service, installation, and training delivered by its own global assembly teams. Pricing is quote-based and project-specific, with no public price list. Go-to-market is a direct enterprise field-sales model: sales engineers engage customers, run Technikum trials, design custom solutions, and the company's own assembly teams commission equipment on-site worldwide. The geographic footprint is described as international, with the website available in German, English, and Spanish and active social media presence across Facebook, Xing, YouTube, Instagram, and LinkedIn, supporting inbound lead generation across multiple markets.

Financially, the company discloses no revenue, headcount, or growth metrics in the source data. It maintains a single headquarters/manufacturing site at Siemensstraße 3, 89264 Weißenhorn, with no reported subsidiaries, no M&A activity, no leadership changes, and no regulatory actions on record. The trademark TRENNSO-TECHNIK® is registered and consistently used. The only disclosed partnership is a minor operational relationship with Netfiles for cloud-based file management. Customer names are not disclosed, and no certifications, awards, or patents beyond the brand trademark are listed in the source material.

Core offering

TRENNSO-TECHNIK designs and manufactures industrial machines and turnkey systems for dry bulk separation, screening, conveying, grinding, and recycling. The product portfolio spans six equipment categories—density sorting tables, air classifiers, screening machines, conveying and dosing systems, grinding mills, and magnetic separators—which are sold both individually and as integrated complete plants for food processing, recycling, and industrial bulk material applications. The company supports customers with an in-house technical center for material testing, global installation services, and after-sales training and support.

Product overview

TRENNSO-TECHNIK® is a manufacturer of industrial separation and processing equipment with over 30 years of experience. The product portfolio is organized around six core equipment categories: (1) Dense Sorting Technology including Trenntisch TTS and Vibrations-Längs-Tisch VLT for vibration-based separation by density, weight, and shape; (2) Wind Sifter Technology including Windsichter ZZS and QSS for air-based separation by weight and size; (3) Screening Technology including Siebmaschine SIK, TSM, SIS, SVR and Rollen-Scheiben-Sternsiebmaschine RSS for material classification from coarse to fine screening; (4) Conveying and Dosing Technology including Elevatoren, Trogschnecken, Trogkettenförderer, Förderbänder, Zyklon, and Zellenradschleusen for mechanical and pneumatic material transport; (5) Grinding Technology including Horizontale Turbomühle HOTU and Vertikale Hammermühle VEHA for material size reduction; and (6) Magnetic Technology including Wirbelstrom-Barrierescheider WSB for non-ferrous metal separation. These individual machines are combined into turnkey solution offerings for food processing, bulk material processing, and recycling applications. The company also operates an in-house technical center (Technikum) for customer material testing and process validation.
