Germany · Family business
PETKUS is a German manufacturer of seed and grain processing technology with origins in 1852, when founder Christian Friedrich Röber started making agricultural machinery and the first seed cleaning machines. PETKUS Technologie is based in Wutha-Farnroda, and the company describes itself as a family business. The PETKUS Group includes linked companies and the ROEBER Institute, its innovation and research centre, and sells machines under names such as PETKUS Selecta and PETKUS Roeber.
PETKUS equipment prepares harvested seed and grain for sowing, storage or sale. Cleaners and calibrators separate good kernels from chaff, weed seeds and broken grain by size and weight; optical sorters remove off-colour or damaged kernels; dryers bring moisture down safely; and seed treatment equipment applies coatings to seed before sowing. The company also designs complete lines, conveying and storage, and mobile and modular plants. For seed businesses the key aims are high purity and germination, gentle handling and clean separation between batches.
