About Steyer Sortiertechnik
Steyer Sortiertechnik GmbH is a manufacturer of feeding and sorting technology based in Weinstadt (Baden-Württemberg). Founded in 1990, the company manufactures feeding devices with cylindrical, step and conical bowls (vibratory spiral feeders), linear feeders with rails, refill and storage hoppers, sound-insulation hoods, escapement units, base frames as well as complete feeding systems as turnkey solutions. In addition, individual components such as welded parts, drives and control units are manufactured, and metals are welded, formed and machined. Materials are primarily aluminium, steel (square steel tubing) and stainless steel 1.4310 for pharmaceutical solutions (STplus+); feeding bowls receive PU coatings or liner material to protect the fed parts. Services also include the overhaul, conversion and modification of older feeding devices as well as commissioning and on-site service. Customers are found in automation technology, in assembly lines and in the pharmaceutical industry. The company employs seven staff and operates one plant in Weinstadt.
