About IBE Projects
IBE Projects GmbH is a plant and engineering service provider specialised in process technology and mechanical engineering. The company offers consulting, pre-studies such as raw material analyses, planning, engineering, monitoring of implementation and commissioning, experiments and testing as well as obtaining operating permits including IPPC permits. In the field of industrial greenfield solutions, IBE delivers complete turn-key basalt technology clusters to institutional investors and under EU decarbonisation mandates. The IBE production technology comprises the melting of basalt in induction melting plants, fibre formation by means of a rotor centrifuge and the production of mineral wool products from basalt raw material. A current development project is the horizontal rotor cascade centrifuge for fibre production with a throughput of 0.8–7.2 t/h. In addition, IBE leads the international AMF-CIRCULAR consortium for recycling hazardous artificial mineral fibres.
