From 2005 onwards, Heinkel developed as the core brand of what became the Heinkel Drying and Separation Group.

Over the years, its portfolio was further strengthened by the integration of recognized specialist brands such as Ellerwerk, GFT and Heine. Their expertise covered a wide range of industrial centrifuges, including filtration centrifuges, peeler centrifuges and continuous centrifuge technologies.

Since May 2024, Heinkel, alongside Bolz-Summix, Comber and Jongia, has been part of De Dietrich, making the group a world leader in solid-liquid separation. With one of the broadest equipment portfolios on the market, De Dietrich supports customers in identifying the most suitable separation solution for their process.

Today, this technological heritage is part of De Dietrich’s centrifuge expertise and supports both new equipment projects and lifecycle services for the installed base. Former Heinkel, Ellerwerk, GFT and Heine centrifuges continue to be supported by De Dietrich through service, spare parts, maintenance, inspections, repairs, retrofits and refurbishments.
