What is custom machine building?

Custom machine building is about designing and building machines that are tailored to the customer's specific needs. Every customer has a unique product, and therefore, our solutions are as unique as their products. Our custom-built machines are precisely designed and built to carry out specific tasks, fully aligned with the unique requirements and processes of each product.

The difference between standard machine building and custom machine building is comparable to the difference between ready-to-wear clothing and haute couture. Standard machines are built according to generic specifications and are suitable for a wide range of applications. They are produced in large quantities with a focus on cost reduction and economies of scale. On the other hand, custom machine building offers precision solutions that are only needed for specific processes.

Experience and Expertise

In the world of custom machine building, Schaeffler Special Machinery has built a strong reputation. We are known for our experience and expertise, but above all, for our unique way of working. As a full-service partner, we develop tailored solutions in close collaboration with our customers and a team of specialized engineers and technicians. These solutions meet the highest standards. Together, we design and build unique, efficient, and sustainable machines that not only perform optimally now, but will continue to do so for the next twenty years. With a small adjustment or a change in input, our systems are ready to assemble other products, ensuring that your investment lasts for many years to come.

Feeding systems

At Schaeffler Special Machinery, we have an extensive range of feeding systems in our portfolio, allowing us to provide service across the entire production line. Our unique approach, where we fully involve the customer in the design and building process and work with short communication lines, ensures efficient implementation. Depending on capacity and inventory, we can deliver most feeding systems within a few weeks, and a complete machine is ready in about nine months.

What makes Schaeffler Special Machinery unique is that we operate completely independently. We provide CE-certified systems and are a dealer for RNA, the market leader in feeding technology and drives. However, we are not tied to any partnerships. This allows us to work with any market system available. Whether the customer provides a system or we choose an existing, proven concept from our global network, we can combine everything as we see fit to create a robust total solution.
