More than 90 years of expertise

Starting with our first potash centrifuge, installed in 1926, we have dedicated nearly a century to tailoring the right solutions and services for any capacity, process conditions, or end product.

Our leading technology range includes screen bowl decanters, pusher centrifuges, filters, thickeners, and fluid bed dryers, making it possible to provide complete systems covering the full process from dewatering to drying.
