About Knospe
Knospe Metall- und Müllereimaschinenbau GmbH & Co. KG is a master-craftsman company based in Velen that has been manufacturing and supporting conveying systems and special machinery for all kinds of bulk goods for more than 30 years. The portfolio of services includes elevators, trough screw conveyors, pipe and chain conveyors, pneumatic product conveying, special machinery and apparatus engineering, and vessel construction with silos, storage bins, liquid tanks and weigh hoppers. Sheet metal working is carried out in-house by laser cutting, bending, rolling, punching and welding, predominantly in steel; for pipework, PVC lines are also implemented. In addition, the company offers piping systems for bulk goods, liquids and process air (including blow line construction and aspiration technology), cross-industry industrial installation including dismantling and commissioning, as well as maintenance, servicing and spare parts manufacturing. Customers come in particular from the bulk goods and grain industries; the company supports its clients from planning through manufacturing and installation to ongoing maintenance at its site in Velen in the Münsterland region.
