Welcome to the website of the IART - Institute for Processing Machines and Recycling Systems Technology. We focus on research into more efficient machines and processes for processing raw materials. We develop innovative ideas and solutions for improved or even completely new machine concepts by thoroughly analysing material properties down to the microscopic level. It is important to us that energy efficiency and the sustainable use of resources are not at odds with cost-effectiveness and performance. On the contrary, we are firmly convinced that they are mutually dependent. Find out more about our research projects, our vision for a sustainable future and how we can help conserve our resources through intelligent technologies.
