Worldwide unique
The world's only fully flexible platform
Empro combines broad feedstock flexibility with the ability to produce a wide range of high-value proteins and functional ingredients.
Process routes
Every raw material has its own route
Feathers, meat, bones and skin each have their own composition and potential. By applying dedicated process routes, we can tailor protein content, functionality and format to different customer needs.
Some examples
Feathers
Controlled hydrolysis under pressure and heat
Protein meals and soluble hydrolysates
Meat and bones
Drying, separation and hydrolysis
Protein meals, hydrolysates and purified fats
Skin
Controlled thermal processing
Fat rich ingredients with high palatability

Process control
Process parameters set the specification
Pressure, temperature, time, enzyme choice and composition are adjustable, and raw material streams can be blended. That is how a single stream yields several protein qualities, and how we match a product to a customer specification.
Digestibility
From standard feed grade to above ninety percent
Protein concentration
Graded levels within one product family
Functionality
Binding, palatability, solubility, bioactivity
Format
Fine powder or liquid, packed to order
One route in detail
Four protein qualities from one feather
Take the feather route as an example. Keratin is one of nature's toughest proteins. Breaking its disulfide bridges under controlled conditions turns a single raw material into four distinct protein qualities.
Controlled hydrolysis delivers
- Bio-active peptides
- Energetic proteins
- Functional proteins
- Technical proteins
Breaking the disulfide bridges of keratin under controlled conditions turns one feedstock into four distinct protein qualities.
Each quality opens up a different set of applications. See our products
