About Industrieanlagen Hlebar
Industrieanlagen Hlebar (IAH) is a manufacturer of special machinery and plants for sand preparation in foundries, founded in 1998 and based in Ennepetal, North Rhine-Westphalia. The company plans, designs and manufactures complete sand preparation plants as well as individual components such as model and unit sand slingers, pin basket slingers, core sand mixers, continuous mixers, pneumatic conveying systems, screening and conveying technology as well as metallurgical injection technology. The entire manufacturing of all individual parts is carried out in-house in Ennepetal, including on-site assembly and commissioning at the customer. Steel and stainless steel (including 1.4301) as well as hot-dip galvanized components are used as factory materials. In addition to new plants, IAH offers maintenance, repair and overhaul of machines and components, new production of spare parts as well as trading in overhauled used machines. Customers are foundries (green sand and resin sand foundries), the metallurgy sector and mechanical engineering at home and abroad.
