Change in ownership at SATEC Equipment

SATEC-Gruppenfoto

Dear Sir or Madam, dear business partners around the world,

We are pleased to inform you – our customers and suppliers – that SATEC Equipment GmbH has been handed over to a younger generation.

For over 40 years, Jens Hackländer, together with Carsten Zieske, successfully steered the fortunes of SATEC Equipment. On August 1, 2026, Dr.-Ing. Robin Kleinwort took over the company as sole owner and managing director. With him, a long-standing acquaintance of the Hackländer family takes on the company succession. With a PhD in mechanical Engineering, Robin brings extensive experience in the production and development of dosing systems. In addition, Robin will continue to have the benefit of Jens Hackländer and Carsten Zieske, who remain available in the background with advice and support.

The cooperation with the SATEC Handelsgesellschaft team will continue as before – machinery customers seeking solutions for their seed treatment will be served and advised just as, conversely, seed-treatment product customers who lack the right technical equipment for seed treatment will be.

Robin very much looks forward to getting to know you and to supporting you with your challenges in the field of seed treatment. Our philosophy still holds true: we adapt our products to our customers’ needs, not the other way around!

We would be delighted if you place the same trust in our new management as the previous leadership was fortunate to enjoy over the past years. Jens Hackländer and Carsten Zieske would like to sincerely thank you all and wish you success, motivation, vision, and confidence in your work!

Here’s to continued good cooperation!

Yours, Robin and team

SATEC Sticker WWL approved as an additive by the BVL (German Federal Office of Consumer Protection and Food Safety)

Our proven Sticker for pelleting as well is now included in the additives list (list number LZ 026774-00). Therefore, it may also be used in combination with active substances/seed treatment products. As a lignin-based powder, it is suitable for use in the organic sector, in sensitive seedlings and in combination with other natural components. The concentration of the adhesive solution can be individually varied (recommended between 10-30%).

I as in IDEAL – SATEC Sticker I approved as an additive by the BVL (German Federal Office of Consumer Protection and Food Safety)

We have been using SATECT Sticker I for some years in applications exempt from approval, and we are convinced of its excellent quality. It was therefore very important to us to get it approved as an additive. We have now managed to do this in cooperation with the manufacturer. You can find it in the additives list under the number LZ 00A788-00/00.

No other adhesive here has yet obtained such excellent results in the Heubach test, and this is why we are now using it as our standard: All other products are measured against it in our tests. SATEC Sticker I is a white, liquid polymer and can be easily used on all seed types. It can be combined with most coating agents/active substances and additives.

Fully automated! – Now available for use in laboratory/ application technology centres

1) The SATEC dosing unit SLP – more than just a simple pump!
We have once again improved our relatively new SATEC dosing unit SLP even further. It not only precisely pumps coating agents into the mixing chamber of the coating unit, it now also controls the entire coating process: precision product volume dosing, mixing time and discharging. All this means that our compact dosing unit can become the mobile brain behind your laboratory coating units! Dosing parameters can also be read in from a csv file.

2) SATEC laboratory and technology centre batch coater – upgradable and modifiable for even more ease of use!
The discharge valves can now also be pneumatically opened and closed at the press of a button, just like our large systems. They can also be automatically controlled using the above-mentioned SLP dosing unit, which ensures controlled mixing times. Alternatively, control systems for multiple pumps/powder dosing units are also available.

SATEC is Certified seed treatment facility for coating!

Since autumn 2020, we can use coating agents which are suitable for use in “Seed treatment facilities with quality assurance systems for dust reduction” (NT699X). This was published by the Julius Kühn Institute in Braunschweig in the descriptive list on 12.02.2021 in Part B / Testing agencies for the research sector: JKI list of facilities (in German only)

The test was implemented by Ms. Weimar-Bosse at JKI. We would like to take this opportunity to thank her for her time.
The test covered the following SATEC CONCEPT® machines: Micro, Macro, ML 1000, ML 2000, 2.10, 1.25, 1.50
The scope of testing was significantly greater than currently required. Thankfully, and sensibly, this requirement (“Seed treatment facility with quality assurance systems for dust reduction”) now only applies to seed treatment facilities used for batch sizes > 5 kg, such as our SATEC CONCEPT® 2.10 or 1.25, for example.

Try and touch SATEC Equipment!

Visit our stand at the DLG-Techniker-Tagung (Technical Exposition) at Hanover, 28 and 29 January 2020. We look forward to show you our latest developments in laboratory seed coating machinery.

A future without seed treatments?

Hard to imagine!  And we are not alone with our conviction. On the video of the European Seed Association, experts with practical experience explain the need for this most environmentally friendly of all plant protection techniques. In minutes 3.53 to 4.03, the video shows a coating plant with several SATEC Concept 1.50 coating machines, together with our dryers.
