Flottweg
As a family-owned company specializing in separation technology, we always have the measurable successes of the customers as our goal. We always know what users need and work with that knowledge daily to create the optimum solutions for our customers.
This trend of producing protein from insects requires producers to be efficient and have final products with a high level of purity.
The processing of different insects, the processing temperatures, or the condition of the insects themselves can also make it harder to achieve these goals, and that is why insect processing companies count on Flottweg’s expertise.
Flottweg’s three-phase centrifuge—the Tricanter®—is being used to simplify the processing of insects with centrifuges. The Tricanter® makes it possible to separate insects into different pure phases (fat, protein water, and solids) in one step.
