International technology group Andritz is expanding its offering to the feed and food industries with solutions to produce alternative proteins.

The company will help customers scale up alternative protein production to a commercial level and provide support over the entire equipment life. The new offering will initially focus on alternative protein sources such as peas, pulses, lentils, insects, and animal residues.

Andritz experts are working side-by-side with customers to find the optimal solution for their alternative protein production needs based on wet or dry processing. The tailored end-to-end solutions include concept design, process engineering, realization, automation, and service. Andritz produces technologies for all key process steps available in the group, including milling, conditioning, dewatering, drying, extrusion, and pelleting.

“We are thrilled to officially announce the birth of this new offering,” says Christian Kling, Head of Alternative Protein Solutions at Andritz. “The field of alternative proteins is an exciting market but moving from lab to industrial scale can be challenging. Andritz not only has the production technology but also helps customers speed up commercialization and bridge the gap to full-scale production. With a history of 170 years, we have been engineering and implementing solutions for many industries including food and feed for decades.”
