The Process Development Center

The PDC is partnering with Kiefel Packaging to install Kiefel’s lab-scale unit.

Kiefel Packaging’s commercial NatureFormer KFT90 unit uses a suction process in combination with cold pre-pressing technology to reduce the residual moisture to approximately 60%.  The final pressing is accomplished with a heated tool that lowers residual moisture to approximately 7%. 

Bring your feedstocks and recipes to run trials, or work with the PDC to produce or source needed materials.
