roeber has been the Pioneer of the seed cleaning industry since 1852, continuously pursuing the best solution possible. The roeber seal marks the most advanced PETKUS products within their class - combining the latest developments with intuitive operation and thoughtful design. Products carrying the roeber seal go beyond the standard, making complex processes easier to control and use while delivering clear added value to the customer.

Roeber's optical sorting innovation combines high-resolution multispectral imaging, AI-assisted classification and proven PETKUS process know-how. The same machine architecture serves seed, grain processing and recycling — sold and supported through direct contact with our engineering team.

Newest developments include the process of extending our expertise in high-precision fine sorting to the recycling sector. Using advanced optical sorting systems, recyclers can unlock new opportunities in fine-material and resource recovery and access valuable fractions that have traditionally been lost during processing. By transforming losses into recoverable value, Roeber supports higher yields, improved process performance, and more sustainable recycling operations.

A very exciting collaboration for the future of sustainability and reusing valuable material processing:

Circular economy get together in Wutha-Farnroda

PETKUS had the great opportunity to host regional companies and organisations last week at our Headquarters to discuss, network and collaborate on three focus points: regional circular economy, reusable valuable material processing and waste management. RÖBER INSTITUT GMBH has extended its expertise in high-precision fine sorting to the recycling sector. Using advanced optical sorting systems, recyclers can unlock new opportunities in fine-material and resource recovery and access valuable fractions that have traditionally been lost during processing. By transforming losses into recoverable value, Roeber supports higher yields, improved process performance, and more sustainable recycling operations.With Carsten Gerhardt and Circular Valley as a professional accelerator for recycling and waste management in circular economy for Germany, Roeber introduced their sorting solution in this sector for the first time. Alongside our regional economy partners such as Bosch, Rittweger, ThEGA (regional energy agency), Eisenach city and economy council and Circular Valley founder C. Gerhardt, we hosted three impulse talks and workshops to find ways on how to collaborate and cooperate in reusing materials and waste to value sorting and processing.Thank you for your words, Carsten Gerhardt . We are excited to see what the future holds in this promising project and vision. Read more on Carsten‘s recap here.
