The Food Technology Centre
As part of the Food Processing Lab, the ‘Food-Technikum’ is a central research and development centre specialising in the investigation and optimisation of mechanical, thermal and microbiological processes in food processing. Innovative processes for the production of preliminary products and foodstuffs are researched and developed here. Another focus is on the development, commissioning and optimisation of prototypes for systems used in food production. For example, a ‘chestnut sorting system’ was developed here, which automates tedious, physically strenuous sorting activities.
In addition to research and development projects, the ‘Technikum Food’ also plays an important role in academic teaching. Students gain practical insights into the latest technologies and processes in food production. Various seminars and workshops are also held at the technical centre.
