From a simple idea that has proven itself many times over
HEUBATEC has clear roots in agriculture, especially in horse farming and breeding as well as horseback riding. Our main developers and the engineers of the machines have a direct connection to the stable operation. They know how to handle straw and hay directly from decades of experience and have largely grown up with horses themselves.
Growing up together and having daily contact with the horses has left a natural feeling for the animals’ needs. Down-to-earthiness and an eye for the essentials are fundamental qualities that our entire team has in common. This life experience, combined with in-depth expertise in mechanical engineering, laid the foundation for HEUBATEC.

The search for a specific solution is widely appreciated
Dust and dirt in hay and straw have so far been an accepted thorn in the eye in agriculture and horse farming - because an effective solution to the well-known problem was apparently not found.
However, the knowledge gained and developed by our team about the special properties of the straw products formed the central basis for the technologies available at HEUBATEC today. Thanks to the happy combination of proximity to day-to-day farm practice and technical expertise, we were finally able to develop a long-awaited solution.
The first hay bale shredder went into operation in 2014 and thanks to the great response and positive feedback, we were able to continuously optimise and develop this technology. We keep working with great enthusiasm to raise the quality standards of our tried-and-tested machines and meet the needs of our customers with new technologies.

Efficient and effective in horse farming - and far beyond
We also want to use the strong potential available to us today for further innovations in the hay and straw sector. To our own surprise, in recent years it has become increasingly clear what the HEUBATEC principle can do - even far from its original fields of application.
Various industrial branches have discovered the added value of clean, dedusted straw for themselves and used it effectively in a wide variety of ways. These developments in the past impressively show that many new (unprecedented) paths can still be paved in the future with our technology and the products obtained from it.
With growing potential and expanded perspectives, we have also continuously nurtured and strengthened our network of competent suppliers and cooperation partners.

Our history: HEUBATEC on the pulse of time
-
Foundation of HEUBATEC GmbH
Joint ideas take shape and are manifested in the company’s foundation.
-
Introducing the first bale shredder
The first development is ready for presentation just one year after the company was founded. In contrast to today’s stationary HBA systems, the innovative machine was still mobile at the time.
Registration of the HEUBATEC trademark
In 2015, the name HEUBATEC was trademarked.
-
Development of a stationary bale shredder and an extraction
The range of bale shredders is expanded to include a stationary version.
The SAS-2500 extraction technology has also been part of our portfolio since 2016.First inquiries from industry
The potential for industrial purposes is recognised for the first time: We are increasingly receiving inquiries from the industries of insulation materials/straw houses, the packaging industry and mail order trade.
-
Introducing the HBA-1400
The first stationary bale shredders are delivered.
-
Introducing the SAS-2600 extraction system
The topic and problem of “dust” in hay and straw is becoming increasingly relevant.
-
First patent granted
Relocation of production to Bielefeld
Demand for bale shredders is constantly increasing - also in general industry.
-
Expansion of production and storage space
Patent applications
The first bale shredders will be integrated into the industrial environment.
The development of the HBA- 1000 is running at full speed.
-
Presentation of the HBA- 1000 and the FSA- 1000-U suction unit
The first HBA- 1000 bale shredders are delivered.
-
Expansion of production and storage space as well as office and administration
Introducing the FSA 1200-S extraction system
The HBA- 1000 is being further developed to HBA- 1000.2
-
Patent applications
Export to neighbouring European countries
Production and storage space is once again growing due to increasing demand and continuous development.
The first international delivery of a bale shredder took place in Switzerland.
Technical advances are also being made in extraction: The FSA 1000-U is being further developed to become the FSA 1100-U.

Start of sales of DUREMO in Italy
Mid-2024 further development of the DUREMO dust collector series
End of 2024: Start of sales of DUREMO EN-803.3-E, now also available as EN-803.3-M
Summer 2024: Development of a pivoting auger for the FSA-1100-S and FSA-1200-S extraction systems
Autumn 2024: Development of the 10–81 dust container for the FSA-1100-S and FSA-1200-S extraction systems
