About Burkhardt-Automation
Burkhardt-Automation is a sole proprietorship based in Plettenberg, specialising in sorting and feeding technology. The company designs and sets up spiral feeders, linear feeders and vibratory bunker systems, and builds custom sorting and feeding systems for a wide variety of part geometries. Its range of services includes the new construction of feeding systems, retrofit and conversion of existing equipment („out with the old, in with the new“), re-coating and optimisation of sorting equipment as well as on-site service. In the product range, sorting bowls are offered as blanks in cylindrical, conical, stepped and special shapes, along with bunker systems, singling-out technology, compact systems with controls, sensor technology and noise protection, camera sorting systems, noise enclosures as well as phase-angle and frequency control units. Burkhardt-Automation is independent of drive manufacturers and uses high-quality materials for reliable, long-lasting products. The owner is master precision mechanic Alexander Burkhardt; the company's purpose is special machinery construction including all related mechanical engineering services.
