Individual engineering concepts by Reinartz
We accompany our customers from the start, i.e. the planning, the coordination and management of their project to the completion, i.e. the commissioning and beyond. Reinartz supports his customers along the entire product lifecycle.
Since no plant is like the other, we put together individual packages, both for existing plants as part of a modification or extension as well as the implementation of a completely new engineering solution. And even after project completion, our technical support will be happy to help you with any questions. How can we help YOU?
Most valuable oil with maximum yield
Finally, for more than 70 years we at Reinartz have been dealing with the optimisation of existing and the development of new processes. Our highly efficient screw presses, filtration systems and separation processes make us the market leader for cold-pressing technology in Europe.
We offer customised solutions for every need – from the individual press to the complete solution for maximum use of resources. Thus, practically all flavourings, essential ingredients and fat-soluble vitamins A and E are preserved in their original form. The result is high quality edible oil with its own character. Maybe you think of us when you enjoy a delicious salad next time …
Insects as addition in animal feed?
The yield is impressive. A solution that also saves resources, because the rearing of insects requires just one tenth of the energy needed for producing other animal proteins. And insects need little space to grow up, hardly any water and food.
The successful testing phase is long behind us: Already last year we were able to commission several plants for the processing of insects. And that’s just the beginning: The individually developed solutions for this area may be regarded as milestones. They allow for scalability from semi-industrial to industrial production.
Renewable energies for the first time Germany’s most important source of current
In addition to wind, sun or water, the use of biomass for the production of energy is going to play a more and more important role. In the first half of 2018, in Germany for the first time more current has been produced from renewable energies than from coal. Compared to the same period of last year, this means an increase of more than 10 %.
We at Reinartz work day by day on innovative and sustainable processes, such as the drainage of biomass. The perfect alternative in the production of energy – and environmentally friendly.
Insects: Good for the immune system
Due to the imminent worldwide shortage of protein, the Wageningen Livestock Research institute is conducting research on insects as alternative source of protein for poultry feed.
Impetus to the research project is given by the assumption that in future quite probably insect proteins will be allowed for poultry feed.
Literature research within the scope of the research work suggests that substances in insects (chitin, chitosan, dipeptides and lauric acid) have a positive effect on the immune system of poultry.
Furthermore, more substances with a positive effect are supposed to be detected in the next months, as literature research indicates.
Effect of insect meal on fish feed pellets
Since mid of 2017, the use of insect meal as fish feed is allowed. The effects of insect protein on the physical and chemical characteristics of hot-extruded fish feed pellets have now been examined.
The result is that insect meal does not have any adverse effects, but rather is a good substitute for freshwater shrimps meal as key protein source for fish feed.

Insects for more animal health
Insects, known for their high nutrient content can be an appropriate and valuable source in the sector of animal feed. The structure of insects also has a stimulating effect on the generation of microbiota with a positive influence on animal health. Thus, for example, the use of antibiotics in animal feed can be reduced. In a dossier published in the Journal of Insects as Food and Feed these components are described more closely, components such as chitin, lauric acid as well as antimicrobial peptides.

North America: New alliance for information about the use of insects in food and animal feed
The trend for using insects in animal feed is rising – regulatory changes in this area already have taken place in the USA, Canada and the EU. The North American Coalition for Insect Agriculture (NACIA) is pursuing an expansion in using insects in food and animal feed. There, the NACIA focuses on the support of production as well as the use of various insect species, such as the black soldier fly, crickets, mealworms, silkworms and other species. A planned education institute shall inform the public, consumers and companies about this subject. One of NACIA’s priorities also is the collection of research results for future approvals of feed ingredients.

EU Protein Plan to overcome vegetable protein deficit
In Europe, presently the production of protein plants is not sufficient to meet the demand. Intention, therefore, is the potential development of an EU protein plan. Target of which is to increase the competitiveness and quality of the sources of protein grown in Europe. For a survey, the EU commission asks and invites experts and stakeholders for a feedback on the current state of the vegetable protein sector in Europe.
Hopes for insect proteins in poultry feed
Reason for hope was given by the EU commissioner with his statement on the first international conference on the use of insects as food, feed and non-food. The approval for poultry feed in addition to the permission of using insect proteins in aquaculture in July 2017, would be a further step to reduce the ecological footprint in this area.
