About Hensel
Hensel GmbH, based in Netphen, is a specialised company for process plant engineering focused on pneumatic conveying technology and foundry technology. Its range of services comprises complete moulding plants with continuous mixers for resin-bonded sands for the production of moulds and cores, sand reclamation plants for improving sand quality and reducing the proportion of new sand, as well as pneumatic conveying systems for granular and dusty bulk materials. In addition to individual equipment such as vibration tables, flash-off stations, turnover and separation devices, emptying devices and dosing stations, the company offers consulting, planning, commissioning and extensive services including maintenance, teleservice/remote maintenance and control technology replacement – also for third-party products. As part of control system retrofits, Simatic S5 controllers are converted to Simatic S7 with bus and Ethernet connectivity. Customers come from industries such as foundries, steel mills, power plants, waste incineration plants and the building materials industry. The company is certified to DIN EN ISO 9001 and has been active in the market for over 35 years.
