fermentation

Lactosan has three complete fermentation lines, which are controlled by a process control system and can be fully sterilised.

Learn more

separation

Fermentation is followed by a concentration step using a separator.

Learn more

freeze-drying

The aim of freeze-drying is to obtain a dried, readily water-soluble product that retains the properties of the original product after the addition of water.

Learn more

fluidised bed drying

In the Microbial Additives plant, it is possible to dry the bacterial concentrate in the fluidised bed plant as an alternative to freeze-drying.

Learn more

grinding

After drying, further processing takes place on the relevant powder line. The product flakes dried by lyophilisation are crushed in mills.

Learn more

mixing

After the drying and milling process, the powder is processed on the relevant powder line and the final product is mixed according to specification.

Learn more

packaging

After processing on the relevant powder line, the dried powder is filled according to customer's requirements.

Learn more

storage

Appropriate storage is essential to ensure the stability of the finished products.

Learn more

homogenisation

In the homogenisation step, the biomass is broken down and the enzymes are released.

Learn more

concentration

In the enzyme production process, ultrafiltration and diafiltration systems are used to concentrate the product and for buffer exchange respectively.

Learn more

filtration techniques

The filtration system allows removal of the production organism or components thereof in the product, at the customer's request.

Learn more

precipitation

In order to increase the purity of the enzyme product or to improve subsequent filtration steps, it is possible to integrate a precipitation step into the production process.

Learn more

DNA-depletion

DNA depletion is another optional step in the enzyme production process to increase the purity of the product.
