The point of departure for the successful economic application of machines based on processing technology is the experiment on a full technical scale. This is why PROBAT operates a pilot engineering section that satisfies highest demands with respect to facilities and equipment.

• Experienced engineers and experimental technicians carry out experiments in a targeted way.
• Customers are shown established and alternative refining processes and solutions in PROBAT’s pilot engineering section.
• Thereby, individual customer specifications are analysed jointly and solutions developed within respective frameworks.

What our customers say about the PROBAT pilot engineering download article

Activities in the lab are almost like those in a university research institute. The lab team carries out quality checks, standard appraisals and measurements.

• The lab already becomes active in the forefront of purchasing decisions as its research results can be important in the decision-making process:
  Which roasting equipment corresponds best to the customer’s needs?
  Which grinder should be used and with what degree of grinding?
• Appraisals are important in helping to reliably solve problems too.
• Colour, moisture, bulk density and stamped density measurements are part of the appraisals – just as the further development of measurement techniques.
