Individual Solutions for Your Success

Test Your Material -- Before You Invest.

The ATM Test & Competence Center offers non-binding tests of your material on our own machines. This lets us tailor the plant precisely to your requirements -- the result depends heavily on the condition of the material and the correct machine settings. On request, you can accompany the test in person and receive direct advice from our experts. The price depends on the amount of material and the time required.

What We Clarify in the Test

Six Questions Every Material Test Answers.

Which machine is the right one?
Is special pre- or post-treatment of the material necessary?
What throughput can be achieved?
Are there special factors such as dust or heat generation?
What end results can be achieved?
How much coolant or lubricant can be recovered?
