Events
• Membrane filtration for
dealcoholization of beer and wine
Equipment and components, services,
and know-how for all these processes
and more are offered by FILTECH
exhibitors. The combination of trade fair
and congress offers visitors industryspecific
expertise and opportunities
for personal exchange on filtration and
separation of all types of media.
Focused trade fair with over 440
exhibitors
From February 14 to 16, 2023, FILTECH
will again open its doors to visitors at the
Cologne exhibition center – less than
a year after the previous date in spring
2022. Due to the Corona pandemic,
it was necessary to deviate from the
usual one-and-a-half-year interval. “The
innovative power of the filtration industry
is very strong,” explains Suzanne Abetz
from organizer FILTECH Exhibition
Germany. “At FILTECH 2023, the trade
audience will again be presented with
numerous innovations – also from many
new exhibitors who will be taking part for
the first time.”
Visitors to FILTECH 2023 will again
be able to experience a wide range of
products and services: In addition to
separation and separation technology,
the program also includes measuring
technology, analytics, and laboratory
supplies, as well as news from science
and research. Industry leaders such as
ANDRITZ and MANN+HUMMEL will be
represented, as will specialists such as
Haver & Boecker and Lehmann & Voss.
In addition, there will be numerous
research and development institutes.
Operators from the food and beverage
industry will benefit from the presence
of suppliers for both solids separation
and solid-liquid separation, as well
as manufacturers from the solid-gas
separation sector.
with energy-efficient solutions for all
HVAC applications in factory buildings.
Whether air purification or filtration
processes in production: The fact that
the demand for new products and
services remains high is also proven
by the large number of exhibitors.
according to the current status, the
organizer is already expecting over
440 companies at FILTECH 2023 –
more than ever before.
Personal exchange at the heart of
the congress
Traditionally, the FILTECH exhibition
area is also complemented by a strong
congress. Visitors thus not only have
the opportunity to experience the latest
products and services live but can also
find out about current trends in research
and development in the congress
area. The FILTECH Scientific Advisory
Board, chaired by Dr. Harald Anlauf
(Karlsruhe Institute of Technology) and
Prof. Eberhard Schmidt (Bergische
Universität Wuppertal), guarantees
the high quality of the presentations:
Experts from international universities,
research institutions and companies
review the submitted contribution
proposals and compile a program that
guarantees valuable information from
all areas of the industry. The organizer
expects more than 200 presentations
for FILTECH 2023.
The congress at the event is divided
into units covering all relevant topics.
Seven thematic areas will be in focus:
• Solid-liquid separation
• Solid-gas separation
• Filter media
• Testing, instrumentation, and control
• Simulation and modeling
• product related processes
• Membrane processes
In addition, the congress at FILTECH
2023 will be dedicated to current
industry trends such as selective
separation, microprocess technology
and nanofluidics, mist and droplet
separation, and biological waste
gas treatment with biofilters. Two
focused day-long courses will be
held on February 13, 2023, the day
before the exhibit area opens, and will
also specifically address engineers,
scientists, managers and other
technical personnel who need applied
knowledge on topics related to solidliquid
separation and fine particle
removal.
Filtration processes for beverages
with taste and quality
In all areas of beverage production,
quality and food safety are the most
important factors for successful
production. Efficient filtration methods
covering all manufacturing processes
support operators in complying with
applicable specifications and provide
them with the means to not only meet
but exceed consumer expectations for
quality and taste.
At FILTECH, manufacturers will find
the right products and services for this
purpose and will be able to exchange
ideas with experts on current trends.
For successful planning of the visit,
interested parties can find a list of
exhibitors, an overview of focus topics
and industries as well as the extensive
conference program at filtech.de. fmt
As the desire for clean, hygienic ambient
air in production and administrative
areas has risen sharply since 2020,
many exhibitors are also focusing
on products such as stationary air
purifiers and systems in a wide range
of dimensions. HVAC systems from
exhibitors achieve capture rates of over
99.9 percent and can help operators
