Hecht Technologie GmbH

About Hecht Technologie GmbH

Hecht Technologie GmbH is a family-owned company founded in 1978 by engineer Günther Hecht as a one-man operation in Munich. Today it employs over 140 people and has served more than a thousand customers in the pharmaceutical, food, and chemical industries across over 10,000 bulk material handling projects worldwide.

Approach and system scope

Hecht supplies tailored, modular systems for bulk solids handling — from filling, discharging and dosing to conveying, sampling and single-use (disposable) applications. The systems are designed to integrate into existing production processes and to connect raw material supply with downstream machinery as turnkey installations.

Three characteristics recur across the documented portfolio:

• Modular design: individual components and complete systems are standardized for integration into existing lines and constrained spaces.
• Containment: for pharmaceutical and food duties, Hecht documents high-level containment systems (OEB/OEL compliance) including isolators, liner systems and sealing solutions intended to protect both product and operator.
• Ergonomics: the equipment pairs productivity with ergonomic operation, aimed at cost-effective, easy-to-use installations.

Markets served

Hecht supports bulk material handling across several sectors:

• Pharmaceutical (e.g., isolators, high-containment drum dischargers)
• Food (hygienic designs, ATEX, traceability)
• Chemicals (containment for hazardous processing)
• Battery production (precision dosing and feeding for cathode/anode materials)

Products

The documented product portfolio includes:

• Filling, discharging and dosing systems: from drum dischargers (e.g., CFE‑K, CFE‑L) to FIBC systems and ergonomic operator interfaces.
• Single-use and containment solutions: the EWI isolator, liner filling heads, and drum dischargers for high containment (OEB 5).
• Conveying and sampling: ProClean pneumatic conveyors, vacuum samplers with dead-space-free design, and valve systems.
• Components and elements: suction units, screw conveyors, scale compensators, liner connection systems, and pre-configured “Hecht Elements”.
• Containment accessories: the High Containment Closing System for safe and precise handling of liners.

Engineering fit and supplier context

Hecht is ISO 9001-certified and a member of EHEDG for hygienic design compliance. The company describes its way of working as built on personal collaboration and rapid decision-making, which matters in custom projects where specification details are settled directly with the engineering team. Containment performance and project-specific suitability still need to be verified against the actual material, the containment target and the applicable validation requirements.
