Plant proteins from rapeseed
As co-product of the cold pressing of rapeseed, press cake, a high-quality protein feed for fattening animals, accrues. Due to the low temperatures of our processes, the valuable proteins as well as a lot of other nutrients are preserved. With our presses you will achieve a high and first-class quality oil yield of exquisite edible oil.
In the future rapeseed protein could also be used in human nutrition. But it is covered by the EU’s “novel food” regulation and has not yet been authorised in the food sector. A possibility we continue to pursue …
Refined by winterisation
To avoid this flocking, winterisation of the cooking oil is advisable. Simply put, this means the cooling of the oil as well as subsequent filtration of the precipitated fraction. This is the principle of winterisation. In the past the oil was stored during the winter season for this clearing process, until the clear oil had settled.
At Reinartz we have developed a winterisation process specifically for cold-pressed cooking oils which can be used to crystallise and filter waxes in a controlled manner. The oil is made cold-resistant and the flocculation of waxes will be ceased. The cooking oil is then crystal clear.
Energy from biomass
Take the raw material grass, for example. Excellent pellets and briquettes for energy production can also be produced from non-wood-like biomass after the moist biomass is dewatered in a mechanical pressing process. Dewatering performance of our presses significantly exceeds the performance of market-standard presses and separators. Having been dried this way, biomass can be compressed to pellets or briquettes and used as an efficient fuel.
The good thing about our process: It is not only energy efficient, but also requires little space and can be easily implemented into existing processes.
Technology meets developer spirit
We get reinforcements from well-known cooperation partners from economic and scientific areas, such as the Fraunhofer Institute for Process Technology and Packaging in relation to the extraction and processing of herbal raw materials. Renowned universities such as RWTH Aachen and the Münster University of Applied Sciences are researching on topics such as biomass, a specialty of Reinartz, using Reinartz presses.
Other project partners in the development of sustainable solutions for protein extraction for animal feed are among others, the research institute Feed Technology of the International Research Community Feed Technology and the Hermetia Baruth GmbH. Together, we work out solutions for the world of tomorrow.
Networked with our Service 4.0
This enables the fully automatic control of the entire system, which avoids potential operating errors and provides the necessary transparency of the production processes. Analyses can be carried out in real time and all processes along the product lifecycle are documented by so-called logging.
In case of questions or incidents of malfunction, our experienced engineers can log into the customer’s system remotely and correct possible faults. Maintenance can also be carried out flexibly by remote control. Service at the touch of a button – this is our Service 4.0!
Hermetia illucens for Fido & Friends
With our partner Hermetia Baruth, Reinartz has been engaged in this topic for years and has long since taken a leading role in this field. Together we have developed a procedure for efficiently processing black soldier flies („Hermetia illucens“) to high-quality protein meal.
The result: Insect meal with a remarkably high protein content of over 62%. Already last year we sold several plants and, another six until October this year. Demand is high – we are ready to serve you.
Individual engineering concepts by Reinartz
We accompany our customers from the start, i.e. the planning, the coordination and management of their project to the completion, i.e. the commissioning and beyond. Reinartz supports his customers along the entire product lifecycle.
Since no plant is like the other, we put together individual packages, both for existing plants as part of a modification or extension as well as the implementation of a completely new engineering solution. And even after project completion, our technical support will be happy to help you with any questions. How can we help YOU?
Most valuable oil with maximum yield
Finally, for more than 70 years we at Reinartz have been dealing with the optimisation of existing and the development of new processes. Our highly efficient screw presses, filtration systems and separation processes make us the market leader for cold-pressing technology in Europe.
We offer customised solutions for every need – from the individual press to the complete solution for maximum use of resources. Thus, practically all flavourings, essential ingredients and fat-soluble vitamins A and E are preserved in their original form. The result is high quality edible oil with its own character. Maybe you think of us when you enjoy a delicious salad next time …
Insects as addition in animal feed?
The yield is impressive. A solution that also saves resources, because the rearing of insects requires just one tenth of the energy needed for producing other animal proteins. And insects need little space to grow up, hardly any water and food.
The successful testing phase is long behind us: Already last year we were able to commission several plants for the processing of insects. And that’s just the beginning: The individually developed solutions for this area may be regarded as milestones. They allow for scalability from semi-industrial to industrial production.
Turning Biomass into Energy
Inefficient energetic use of wood, agricultural and forestry residues as well as manure has a strong environmental impact. In addition, there are also chemical substances which are harmful to our environment and should not be available endlessly. A sustainable biomass-based production of energy can be a solution.
With mechanically dewatered bio-based products, such as wood waste, grass or leaves bio-energy can be generated for covering a considerable part of an independent decentral energy supply – an important contribution to climate protection. Besides biogenic residues and waste also liquid and solid residues of the oil production can be used for gaining bio-energy.
