Production flow
From renewable resources to sophisticated derivatives
Roquette’s raw materials are subjected to up to three key processes: fractionation, hydrolysis and hydrogenation. Together these generate well over 700 high-quality co-products and derivatives.
There is little or no waste because virtually all of the original raw material is consumed during processing. Combined with stringent centralized data control – for instance, there are more than 40,000 recording monitors on its main factory site alone – and rigorous management of energy and water use, Roquette production is a model of efficiency and environmental responsibility.
Responsive production
Factory engineering departments, or processes development departments, are dedicated to optimizing production technology in the light both of both in-house and external developments. This confirms that production techniques at Roquette plants are as efficient and effective as possible, helping to safeguard quality while reducing costs.
Engineering departments are also always on hand to provide immediate support in the event of any malfunction. Collectively, production research, engineering support and production itself form a fully integrated system, maximizing resources and enhancing performance.
Subject to rigorous safety and quality standards
Possessing ISO 9001 certification for all Roquette’s European plants, the ISO 22000 award guarantees the group’s ability to consistently provide safe products to the food chain: this is the convincing demonstration of Roquette’s ambitious Quality policy.
Roquette quality is a natural, fundamental part of a production continuum surrounding our food safety that:
- starts with fully traceable, renewable raw materials
- continues with production techniques that achieve the highest standards in processing, purity and environmental protection
- and ends with ingredients that allow you to offer your customers total quality
Ever more efficient and environmentally friendly
In today’s world, Roquette and its customers – and their customers – are fortunate that our raw materials are all renewable.
The company has built on this advantage by introducing ever more efficient and environmentally friendly production processes, including intensive water recycling, the cogeneration of electricity as well as the noise reduction.
This has created an ever-widening virtuous circle of renewable resources, low pollution output and safe, lucrative products.
