Westfalia Separator has taken a close interest in biotechnology from the outset and contributed substantially to its industrial utilisation. So it's no surprise that we are a partner to the yeast industry for more than 110 years. But that applies not only to the obtaining of classical biotechnological products, but also to processing systems in which the use of centrifuges was previously unusual. For example the production of algae where Westfalia Separator uses clarifying separators with the HydroStop-System for very high dry residue and therefore maximum product yield. For the production of amino acids such as lysine Westfalia Separator developed the hydrohermetic decanter for the dewatering of the fermentation broth.
