About Messag AG
Messag AG is a Swiss mechanical engineering company based in Böckten, specialising in the design and manufacture of conveying technology machines and systems. Its product range includes trough, tube, twin-shaft and shaftless screw conveyors, flexible screw conveyors, vertical conveyors, dosing and mixing screws, cooling and heating screws as heat exchangers, press screws for solid/liquid separation, extraction screws, dosing hoppers and screw dischargers for silo emptying. The systems are manufactured in modular design and customised, among other things for powders, granulates and coarse bulk materials; trough conveyors cover diameters of 60 to 800 mm and volume flows of 0.1 to 250 m³/h. Applications range from agricultural and milling technology through bulk solids technology to food processing, for example the extraction of herbal teas. The welding production is certified to ISO 3834-2, the quality management system to ISO 9001.
