Presentation of the Chair
The Chair of Processing Machines/Processing Technology at TUD Dresden University of Technology has stood for excellent research and education in the field of machines and plants for consumer goods production, with a focus on food production and packaging, for over 70 years.
Thanks to its interdisciplinary approach, the chair combines classic mechanical engineering with the complex requirements of industrial consumer goods production. The research topics span from the modularization and flexibilization of production processes as well as the development of innovative technologies for the production of recyclable packaging from renewable materials to the hygienic design and layout of equipment and processes.
The comprehensive study program offers students valuable experience through close links to industry, internships and direct contacts, which prepare them excellently for the demands of the industry and academia. In addition to sound technical knowledge, methods for developing technological solutions that take into account global supply situations as well as ecologic, economic, and social aspects are imparted. This holistic approach makes the study program an attractive choice for future engineers and scientists.
