New Pfaudler Laboratory Test Facility in Waghäusel, Germany

Process development plays a major role in developing solutions for the critical needs of our clients. 

The new Pfaudler laboratory test facility in Waghäusel offers a wide variety of testing possibilities, which guarantee process performance. 

Main equipment is manufactured by NORMAG from high corrosion resistant borosilicate glass enabling visual process investigation.

Several types of evaporators like Forced Circulation Evaporator, Falling Film Evaporator, Thin Film Evaporator etc. are installed and can be operated in atmospheric and vacuum conditions.

Random packed and tray columns are available for rectification and distillation tests.

Customized testing for client’s processing optimization with organic and inorganic substances can be performed and Pfaudler Normag Systems will be in a position to grant the relevant process guarantees.
