About HELO Maschinen Technik
HELO Maschinen Technik GmbH was founded in Chemnitz in 1991 and specializes in the manufacture of hydraulic tanks made of steel and stainless steel, as well as aluminum, containment basins according to the Water Resources Act, double-walled tanks, frames, storage stands, and pump carriers. The focus is on individual and small-series production for end customers worldwide, particularly as a supplier to hydraulic and industrial companies. The added value includes 3D design with SolidWorks, CNC sheet metal cutting and bending parts using plasma cutting machines and laser cutting, laser arc welding in a large hall, glass bead and steel grit blasting, and in-house wet painting in a specially designed painting and drying system using airless, airmix, and cup gun methods. Additionally, the company offers complex CNC turning/milling, wire EDM of hardened metals, surface grinding, measuring with protocol, industrial assembly, custom machinery construction, handling systems, and prototyping. The tanks undergo 100% leak testing. Application areas include wind power technology, power plant technology, defense technology, automotive plant construction, machine tool construction, shipbuilding, offshore, mining, flood protection, and the petroleum industry.

Materials and Processes
Steel / Quality Steel
Main material for hydraulic tanks, frames, and assemblies; standard tanks made of quality steel with hydraulic oil-resistant priming.
Stainless Steel
For corrosive-stressed tanks and components, including in the offshore and food environments.
Aluminum
Material for hydraulic tanks, processed by CNC sheet cutting.
Hard Metal
Processing via wire EDM.
Plasma Cutting
Cutting of steel and stainless steel plates on plasma cutting machines.
Laser Cutting
Precise CNC sheet cutting in laser cutting.
Laser Arc Welding
Joining in a large hall, also for demanding tanks and welded assemblies.
Glass Bead and Steel Grit Blasting
