Customer Story: Emsland Group

Getting to know Dinnissen

Mr. Fiedler and Mr. Symossek work in Kyritz as department head of refining and as process technologist. They talk about their experiences with Dinnissen and the purchase process of their second sifter: "In 2019, we traveled to Dinnissen. We already had a centrifugal sifter at the end of our production line, as a final check before the modified starch left the line. In addition, we wanted a second sifter for the beginning of the line. This sifter filters the starch immediately after emptying the Big Bags, so that no materials other than the starch enter the production process."

Excitedly, Fiedler and Symossek talk about their visit to Dinnissen: "We were given the opportunity to test the sifter at the D-Innocenter; Dinnissen's test center. In addition, we got the chance to take a look at the factory hall. We were welcomed nicely and were given a tour of the entire company. While being shown around, we discovered the extensive range of Dinnissen's products. They supply so much more than just sifters. We then saw the possibilities that this presented for us."

10 tons of potato starch per hour

The sifter purchased by Emsland Group for the Kyritz location is a CZ6 Centrifugal Sifter with a sieving surface of 2.5 square meters; the largest sieving surface available on the market. This machine processes up to 10 tons per hour, with a mesh opening of 1 mm (1000 µm). Fiedler and Symossek state: "The processing speed fulfills our requirements. Also for the employees, Dinnissen's sifter is an improvement over previous installations. Checking the machine, several times a day, is very straightforward because the sieve basket is easily accessible and can be quickly cleaned. This is not only a time advantage, but also an ergonomic one."
