Flottweg Process Center

Custom process development & pilot-scale testing – from the lab to industrial-scale solutions

At the Flottweg Process Center, you can develop your application in a practical setting, under realistic conditions, and before investing in a plant. Together with our specialists, we map out complete process flows, assess technical feasibility, and optimize every single step from the initial laboratory test to the pilot scale. Across approximately 2,000 square meters, state-of-the-art laboratory and testing facilities, as well as flexible setups, are at your disposal to specifically test and further develop customer-specific solutions.

Thanks to the close integration of the laboratory and pilot plant, you quickly receive well-founded and reliable results regarding the feasibility, design, and efficiency of your separation processes. This is how we lay the foundation for sound investment decisions, more efficient processes, and sustainable economic success.

Optimize your processes – minimize risks

An overview of our services

The Flottweg Process Center allow you to test your products under real operating conditions before you commit to an investment. The technical center is divided into sub-areas to cater to different fields of applications. The focus is on application-specific processing of customer samples on a laboratory and pilot plant scale. Based on the results, Flottweg can provide the customer with targeted feedback on feasibility, machine design, plant technology, and the efficiency of the planned separation processes. Thanks to the immediate proximity to the laboratory and the technical center, it is possible to respond to customer requests in an even more flexible manner.

Company's own process lines for plant proteins and starch

With a particular focus on plant-based proteins, the technical center is equipped with fixed plant and specialized equipment that meet the requirements of the food industry. From single machines to complete production lines, customers are offered the right solution based on the company's extensive plant protein processing expertise. The new experimental production line can be used to closely simulate complete customer processes and to develop customized process solutions.

Expert Insights

“The customer has always been the focus of the planning. The optimized flow of personnel and goods not only allows the customer testing to take place much more efficiently, but also enhances the preparation and follow-up processes.”
