Food

The food industry is without a doubt one of the most important sectors of the economy. It offers a wide range of applications for mechanical separation. These days, consumers have high expectations concerning food and beverages, and their quality is getting increasingly more important. Therefore, food producers want their suppliers, especially the machine manufacturers, to be actively available to better meet specific customer demands.
FLOTTWEG centrifuges are used in many areas of the food industry, including the production of wheat starch, soy protein, lactose, and casein, and they meet the high demands of availability and hygiene.

Chemistry and white (industrial) biotechnology

The chemical industry is considered as the engine of progress. Its ideas and solutions are applied and developed in other sectors, including the white biotechnology.
White biotechnology helps people to develop new basic and fine chemicals on an organic base as well as active ingredients from enzymes, cells, or micro-organisms. In future, it will be possible to replace fossil raw materials and to avoid greenhouse gases.

In chemistry as well as in white biotechnology mechanical separation processes are an important component of many processes. In these applications FLOTTWEG DECANTERS and DISC STACK CENTRIFUGES assume key functions: They clarify liquids, separate two solids, sort solid mixtures, and dewater liquid-solid suspensions.
