FLOTTWEG HEADQUARTERS
10700 Toebben Drive
Independence, Kentucky
Where Plant Proteins Meet Precision
Spin Smarter. Process Better.
Our Spin Academy event, originally scheduled for October 2025, has been rescheduled for Monday and Tuesday March 24,25, 2026
We can’t wait to bring you a two-day, immersive training experience: where centrifuge innovation meets real-world plant protein applications.
Designed for processing professionals, this immersive experience will take you inside the mechanics and optimization of Flottweg centrifuges, showing exactly how they’re applied to extract, separate, and refine plant proteins at scale.
With in-depth sessions led by Flottweg engineers you’ll gain practical, plant-ready insights from fine-tuning performance and troubleshooting to integrating centrifugation into broader processing systems.
You’ll leave with skills, strategies, and process improvements you can apply immediately, not just theory, but proven approaches to boost efficiency, yield, and product quality.
Space is limited.
