Romaco Opens New Processing Laboratory

With six laboratories and three conference rooms totalling 840 square metres, the new processing laboratory will engage in research and development work

The 'Romaco China SolidsProcess Centre' was officially opened by Romaco China and Truking on the Truking campus in Changsha. More than 500 invited guests from the pharmaceutical, food and chemical industries were in attendance at the opening ceremony. A live broadcast of the event was watched by an audience of around 50,000 on WeChat, the online messaging service. Visitors were subsequently provided with an introduction to Romaco’s processing technology and laboratory work in the framework of a seminar. Dr Herbert Hüttlin, Founder, Romaco Innojet, spoke about the air flow bed method he developed several years ago, which was a breakthrough innovation in fluidised bed technology.

Dr Carola Hanl, KiTech Laboratory Manager at Romaco Kilian, discussed the varied potential of laboratory work, not only for research but also for testing new processes and systems. The theoretical explanations then made way for the first practical demonstrations in the new premises, given by Romaco experts from Steinen and Cologne. The inauguration of the new laboratory drew great applause.
