HUBER on-site service in Vilshofen: Maintenance ensures operational efficiency
At the start of 2026, a comprehensive one-off plant maintenance was carried out on the HUBER machines at the Vilshofen sewage treatment works in Lower Bavaria. Designed for a population equivalent of 56,000, the plant is operated by Vilshofen Municipal Wastewater Services. During normal plant operation, one or two staff members are usually on site. Since 2007, the sewage treatment works has used two HUBER Rotary Drum Fine Screen ROTAMAT® Ro2 1000/5 units and one HUBER Coanda Grit Washer RoSF4/2. These are supplemented by two vortex washers from a third-party manufacturer. As part of the service call-out, all relevant spare and wear parts were replaced, including the third-party components.
Professional on-site execution
The HUBER service technicians, Dominik Schuster and Kürsat Yavuz, impressed the wastewater plant managers, Erich Frauenknecht and Ralf Klaiber, with their punctuality, technical expertise, tidy working methods, and friendly manner. Spare parts from a third-party manufacturer, supplied by the customer, were also fitted to the usual high standard. ‘Dominik took the time to answer all our questions – brilliant!’ said Erich Frauenknecht.
Based on previous experience, the performance of the service team was rated particularly highly. The visit demonstrated the contribution a competent team can make to reliably and efficiently meeting operational requirements.
A customer-focused and convincing approach
For those in charge of the sewage treatment works, one thing is clear: HUBER is a reliable maintenance partner. Key factors include knowledgeable contact persons, experienced practitioners such as service adviser Erwin Wagner, who ensure not only technical quality, but also order and cleanliness. The HUBER‑teams' careful and structured working methods are highly valued by operators time and again. Frauenknecht also emphasised that the plant is always left in excellent condition following HUBER’s visits.
Operations Manager Johannes Gottinger, Dipl.-Ing. (FH), also welcomes the long-standing and trusting collaboration with HUBER. Particular praise is given to the technical expertise of the contact persons, the high-quality service and the reliable, timely execution of maintenance work.
The organisational handling via the HUBER Service Centre also received top marks: Spare parts were provided on time, delivery dates were met, and scheduling arrangements ran smoothly. The clear wish for the future is: ‘That things continue exactly as they are.’
The project in Vilshofen confirms what sets HUBER Service apart: expertise, reliability, cleanliness, customer focus and a team that thinks proactively. We would like to express our sincere thanks for the trust placed in us and look forward to continuing our collaboration.
