We move.

Lehmann-UMT is a leading manufacturer of complete environmental technology systems, plants, special machines and components. Now in our third generation as an owner-managed family business from the Vogtland region, we develop visionary solutions for highly complex technical challenges in the strategic fields of the future: Filter, conveyor, environmental and transfer technology.

Our know-how

The highest requirements, efficiency and ever shorter development cycles are essential cornerstones of today's product development. The Lehmann-UMT team offers specialized engineering solutions and series-ready industrial products of the highest quality and durability. Wherever microscopically fine filter media, large quantities of dry or wet unit loads in production processes or large goods weighing several tons have to be moved under extreme conditions - our expertise brings the most diverse worlds together.

    Our employees understand the special challenges of a wide range of industries.

    Whether in engineering, design, production or administration - the Lehmann-UMT team uses its specific system and industry knowledge to provide excellent support from the initial idea through the entire research and development process to series production. We move, question processes and can rethink systems and products right from the initial concept phase. Our high-performance technology center guarantees a high level of vertical integration across all business areas.

    With reliability, perfection and skilled experts, we lead projects to success together with our customers.

39 high-performance milling centers with central filtration and chip disposal system

20.000 liters of emulsion per minute to 10 µm - central systems from Lehmann-UMT make the impossible possible. The system reliably filters aluminum chips down to 10 µm from the emulsion. The good filter result and the dry filter cake enable the customer to melt the chips down again, recycle them and thus protect the environment.

The compact filter used has a demand-controlled filter fleece feed, which means that the system only feeds new fleece into the filter chamber fully automatically when it is needed. This makes the overall system very sustainable and cost-efficient in terms of disposal, energy and follow-up costs.
