With the development of a new process from collaboration between the companies ¡ F.H. SCHULE Mühlenbau ¡ HOSOKAWA ALPINE ¡ and AMANDUS KAHL high-quality vegetable protein concentrates are produced economically as a substitute for animal protein. Vegetable proteins are supplied by quickly reproducing legumes which are inexpensive and infinitely available worldwide. Advantages of the process ¡ Innovative and economical ¡ Vegetable instead of animal proteins ¡ New market opportunities ¡ Higher margins in the food industry can be achieved. ¡ High market prices can be realised with by-products such as shells ¡ Storage without problems Concentration of know-how Each of the three companies can rely on long-standing experience and ranks among the leading international suppliers in their sector. The special fields of the individual companies in the production of protein concentrate for example from legumes: ¡ F.H. SCHULE Mühlenbau Cleaning, separation and shelling. Defined separation of shells and fibres of the legumes kernels ensures an economical process.
