Dr. Kersten Link, Chairman of the Management Board, believes this is an important step for the future of the company: "By building the Process Center, we are not only strengthening our headquarters in Germany, but also creating the basis for sustainable and innovative growth. Flottweg has grown steadily in recent years, so the new Process Center is an investment in the future of the company. It is a signal to our customers and business partners that Flottweg will continue to provide the best solutions for demanding separation tasks in the future."

Focus on customer-specific solutions

Both the laboratory and the pilot plant are divided into sub-areas in order to process the various application areas individually. The focus here is on the application-specific processing of customer samples on a laboratory and pilot plant scale. With the help of the results, Flottweg can provide the customer with targeted feedback on the feasibility, design of the machine and system technology as well as the efficiency of the planned separation processes. Due to the close proximity of the laboratory and the technical center, customer inquiries can be processed even more flexibly in the future.

"With state-of-the-art laboratory technology and versatile machine equipment for analytics, we can further increase the efficiency and sustainability of our solutions and implement tailor-made processes for our customers worldwide," explains Stefan Bichlmeier, Head of Process Engineering at Flottweg.

Dedicated process line for plant proteins and starch

In order to meet the requirements of the food sector in particular, especially for plant proteins, permanently installed systems with corresponding special equipment are provided in the laboratory and technical center. "We have extensive process expertise in plant proteins – regardless of whether the customer requires an entire plant with engineering or just a machine," says Dr. Mathias Aschenbrenner, plant protein specialist at Flottweg. "With our new Process Center, we can present the processes for our customers even more comprehensively. This investment underlines Flottweg’s commitment to the food sector."
