Evaluate your material. Understand your options. Plan your next step with confidence.
How will your product filter, separate, dry, evaporate, or convey? Testing with your actual material can help answer these questions before you commit to equipment or changes to your process.
De Dietrich provides laboratory and pilot testing, process evaluation, and selected rental equipment to support process development, equipment selection, troubleshooting, and scale-up. Whether you are introducing a new product, investigating a production bottleneck, or comparing technologies, we work with you to develop a testing approach around your application and performance goals.
Answer the Questions That Matter to Your Process
A useful test starts with a clear objective. Our engineers work with your team to identify what you need to learn and which conditions and measurements will provide meaningful results.
Depending on your application, testing can help you:
- Assess feasibility: Determine how your material responds to a proposed technology.
- Compare equipment options: Evaluate approaches to separation, drying, evaporation, or powder transfer.
- Refine operating conditions: Investigate how changes in temperature, pressure, feed rate, or other parameters affect performance.
- Evaluate product quality and recovery: Understand the relationship between processing conditions and your target specifications.
- Develop a basis for scale-up: Generate data to support equipment sizing, throughput estimates, and cycle-time expectations.
- Investigate existing challenges: Explore potential improvements to a process that is not meeting expectations.
Testing Capabilities Across Your Process
Testing at Our Facility or Evaluating at Yours
Laboratory and Pilot Testing
Our Swedesboro, New Jersey test center brings together capabilities for centrifugation, filtration, drying, powder handling, and short path evaporation. Additional specialized testing can be coordinated through De Dietrich’s international facilities.
We work with you to define the test objectives, review the material, select appropriate equipment, and establish a practical test plan. Results are documented and reviewed with your team to help determine the next steps for your application.
Rental Equipment for On-Site Evaluation
For some applications, testing at your own facility provides valuable insight into how equipment performs within your process.
Selected rental equipment allows your team to evaluate materials and operating conditions on-site, with technical support from De Dietrich. Rental options can support feasibility trials, process development, and evaluation of proposed changes before a longer-term equipment investment.
