Refinement of Raw Materials for Industrial Applications

Product refinement includes all processes that specifically adapt raw materials to industrial requirements.

This is not only about cleaning, but also about the targeted optimization of:

• Structure and particle size

• Purity and homogeneity

• Processing properties

• Suitability for specific applications

Saatenberg H&C GmbH aligns these processes precisely with the requirements of the food and feed industry.

Product Refinement of Dried Vegetables

Dried vegetables are optimally prepared for further processing through refinement.

Typical products:

• dried carrots

• onions and garlic

• bell peppers (red and green)

• zucchini, eggplants and white cabbage

Refinement objectives:

• consistent cut sizes

• uniform structure

• optimized dosability in production processes

Refinement of Herbs and Spices

Herbs and spices place high demands on quality and homogeneity.

These include:

• parsley, dill, basil, oregano

• pepper, caraway, coriander, cardamom

Through refinement:

• particle sizes are adjusted

• foreign matter is reduced

• uniform blendability is achieved

Refinement of Seeds and Grains

Seeds and grains are specifically optimized for industrial processes.

Products:

• millet, flaxseed, sunflower seeds

• sorghum and buckwheat

• wheat, barley, oats and corn

Refinement enables:

• consistent processing

• stable product quality

• adaptation to specific applications

Refinement of Nuts and Legumes

High-quality raw materials are also specifically refined:

• almonds, hazelnuts, walnuts, peanuts

• peas, lentils, chickpeas

This involves:

• adjusting structure and size

• optimizing processing properties

• aligning products with industrial requirements

Refinement Processes in Detail

Saatenberg H&C GmbH uses various refinement processes:

• sorting and classification

• calibration by size

• mechanical processing

• combination with cleaning processes

All processes are individually tailored to the product and its application.

Quality Standards and Control

Product refinement is carried out under strict quality requirements:

• continuous process monitoring

• defined quality parameters

• documented production steps

Certifications such as ISO, GMP+, FDA and organic are available depending on the product.
