About HOUBEN Sewage Plant Technology
Houben GmbH, based in Nettetal, is a specialized company in mechanical engineering and metal processing with a focus on sewage treatment and wastewater plants. The company manufactures and installs travel drives for circular and longitudinal scrapers, centre bearings, king post bearings, floor scraping systems, scum suction units and further plant components. A key focus is on maintenance and refurbishment of existing scraper technology systems, including condition analysis, conversion to positive drive with gear rack or roller drive, and remanufacturing of parts that are no longer available. Production is carried out in steel and stainless steel (1.4301, 1.4571), including multiple-folded, torsion-resistant floor scraper blades including NBR sealing profiles and clamping strips, as well as wheels with Vulkollan or solid rubber surfaces. Work is partly carried out with mobile bending machines directly on site at the plant. Houben GmbH operates nationwide at sewage treatment and wastewater plants in Germany.
