KAHL GROUP AT FI EUROPE: PROCESS ENGINEERING FOR POWDERS, GRANULES, EXTRACTS, AND OTHER FOOD INGREDIENTS

 

From December 2 to 4, 2025, the KAHL Group will exhibit its bundled process technology for the food industry at Food Ingredients Europe (FI Europe) in Paris. At stand 40A124, Amandus Kahl, Devex, Pruess, and Schule Mühlenbau will showcase efficient process solutions that combine quality and resource efficiency in food production.

 

For the 30th time, FI Europe will bring together international machine manufacturers, experts, and decision-makers from the food industry to discuss the latest developments in ingredient and process technology. By attending the event in Paris, the KAHL Group emphasizes its commitment to being a reliable technology partner for the industry. The focus will be on energy-efficient and precisely controllable plant solutions for economical and sustainable food production.

 

Amandus Kahl: Focus on fluidized bed technology

 

Amandus Kahl will present the various applications of the fluidized bed technology for precise food processing. This technology enables the precise drying, agglomeration, and coating of powders and granules, as well as the production of micro-encapsulated products with specific properties. Even temperature-sensitive substances can be processed gently and reproducibly in this way. Continuous fluidized bed plants are ideal for large-volume, automated production, while batch systems are perfect for changing recipes, smaller batches, and research and development due to their high flexibility. The showcased LFB mini S, Amandus Kahl’s smallest fluidized bed plant, is specially designed for laboratory scale. It operates in batch mode, is mobile, and offers maximum flexibility for executing processes quickly and conveniently.

 

Devex & Pruess: Energy-saving, efficient, and safe thermal processes

 

Devex focuses on “Efficiency Consulting.” As a provider of process engineering solutions, Devex supports food manufacturers in optimizing the energy efficiency of thermal processes, such as extraction, evaporation, and drying. Applications range from producing instant coffee to extracting flavors and active ingredients, as well as vacuum and freeze-drying food. Pruess is also a leader in plant engineering and offers expertise in extraction and thermal process engineering. This includes buffer preparation systems, CIP/SIP cleaning systems, and the thermal treatment of sensitive products. The company ensures safe and precise processes in highly regulated production environments through modern engineering.

 

Schule Mühlenbau: Processing of plant-based raw materials

 

Schule Mühlenbau supports milling companies and food manufacturers who use plant proteins as a sustainable source of protein by providing turnkey plants and special machines for the efficient processing of grains, legumes, and oilseeds. Precise machines such as the impact huller and the conical shelling machine Verticone VPC ensure a high kernel yield with minimal losses.

 

The KAHL Group’s extensive portfolio covers nearly all process engineering steps in food processing, including conditioning, extraction, drying, pelleting, and cooling. Representatives from all four exhibiting companies, as well as from other KAHL Group companies – including the recently added company Reinartz – will be available to meet with visitors.
