TU Clausthal, Germany 📅 When? June 14-17, 2026 Learn more about how our #technology for supercritical fluids can upgrade your products and processes, and let’s learn something new together! Feel free to reach out to us - we look forward to connecting with you! #thyssenkrupp #Uhde #EMSF #scf

More than ten years ago, a project began that today forms part of the foundation for a new generation of European aerogel technology. Together with former partners, we developed and successfully commissioned a drying system for aerogel production as part of the SLENTITE project — focused on polyurethane aerogels. Since then, the #Aerogel technology has been continuously advanced by aerogel-it. Their team emerged from these activities and continues to build on this foundation to this day. At the end of April, we had the opportunity to welcome the team from Aerogel-it to our headquarters in Hagen. It was a special and valuable moment to reconnect with the #partners who helped shape the project and to reflect on its development over the years. In particular, Dirk Weinrich, Marc Fricke, and Andre Mohs (pictured from left to right), along with many other colleagues, made significant contributions to this journey. Projects evolve and #technologies advance — but equally important are the long-term connections and shared experiences that remain long after the #project itself has ended.

Two days of hands-on learning and great exchange at our #UHPT Maintenance Workshop 2026 in Houston, Texas. At the end of April, we welcomed customers and partners to our Service Center for practical training sessions and technical discussions. This year’s focus included pump training including hydraulics, #highpressure flange connections, and LVDT calibration at the valve test station. The second day featured high pressure #pump training, as well as an HP cylinder lubrication session by Matthew Koshinski and team (Burckhardt Compression US Inc.). Christopher Willy (ECI Group) also led an interesting discussion on maintenance intervals. A big thank you to everyone involved for making this #workshop a success. We are already looking forward to the next #Maintenance Workshop in 2027. Further information on registration and the program will follow — stay tuned for updates.

Join us today at Vitafoods Europe 2026 in Barcelona — we look forward to meeting you in person! Curious how #highpressure technologies can unlock new potential for your #products? Then feel free to talk to us. Our #SCF experts from #Uhde High Pressure Technologies are available for in-depth discussions and knowledge exchange. We look forward to inspiring conversations and new ideas.

The development of SCF technology from the 1980s to the 2000s. A review of our activities in the field of #supercriticalfluids shows how the technology has evolved from early applications into established industrial processes: Since the 1980s, #Uhde High Pressure Technologies has been involved in the first industrial SCF plants for the #extraction of coffee and hops. Building on these early applications, process #engineering expertise has been continuously expanded—particularly with regard to material properties, selectivity, and process control under supercritical conditions. In the following years, the combination of robust plant design, pilot facilities, and application-specific know-how enabled the transfer of SCF technology to more complex products such as spices, tobacco, and #pharmaceutical raw materials. From the 2000s onward, modular plant concepts and specialized processes—such as the targeted use of co-solvents—became a key focus. Over several decades, this led to the establishment of a broad and reliable global #SCF reference base, reflecting the transition from a pioneering phase to a fully industrialized technology. Join us for the next chapter and discover SCF from the 2000s to today.

#ThrowbackThursday A look back in time at an important step in our development: our headquarters in Hagen, newly built at the time. For nearly 100 years, Uhde High Pressure Technologies has been delivering reliable service solutions across the entire plant lifecycle worldwide. What has never changed is our commitment to quality, precision, and true engineering excellence – Made in Germany. From then to now, we have been driven by #innovation, reliability, and partnership. Rooted in our #engineering heritage, we continue to evolve with a clear focus on future-oriented technologies. This is exactly what we continue to build on for the future – because the story continues.   #uhde #thyssenkrupp #highpressure 

Hygienic design is far more than a regulatory requirement. It is a strategic enabler for safer products, more stable processes and more efficient #plants. When implemented correctly, hygienic design becomes a clear competitive advantage. It protects consumers, increases plant availability, stabilizes processes and builds long term trust in products and brands. As a qualified and experienced partner with deep expertise in #highpressure technologies, we support customers across all aspects of hygienic design. From selecting suitable materials to designing CIP/WIP capable equipment, we apply proven #hygienicdesign principles and ensure seamless integration into complex production lines, even in demanding hygienic environments. In addition, UHPT delivers fully documented and validated solutions considering 21 CFR Part 11 and GAMP, ensuring regulatory compliance as well as long term reliability and operational excellence. This shows why hygienic design is more important than ever and how the right design choices, supported by a partner like #UHPT, can transform complex production environments into clean, reliable and future proof operations. Discover the power of hygienic design - Talk to our experts today.

We were in China, one of the largest and fastest growing potential markets for High Pressure Processing (#HPP), driven by rising demand for safe, fresh and high-quality food and beverage products. From April 9 to 11, we attended the CBST – China International Beverage Industry Exhibition on Science & Technology in Shenzhen. Together with colleagues from #thyssenkrupp China, Hmayon Salim and Linda Hou, as well as Yasemin Sen and Jasna Ivanovic from #UHPT, the team gained first-hand insights into the Chinese #beveragemarket. Key takeaway: There is a strong shift toward advanced processing technologies that deliver higher product quality, longer shelf life and safe production without additives. In this context, High Pressure Processing (HPP) is gaining significant traction in #China and is increasingly seen as a key enabler for clean label, fresh and premium beverage products. CBST provided a platform to engage with potential customers and partners and to better understand local requirements for future activities. We look forward to building on these insights. Curious to hear your view: How do you see the role of HPP in fast-growing #beverage markets like China?

2,500 liters at 1,100bar – Innovation Under High Pressure Our team is currently working on a state-of-the-art stainless steel pressure vessel for gaseous hydrogen! With a volume of 2,500L and a maximum operating pressure of 1,100bar, it is designed for demanding experiments. The operating temperature range from -30 to +50°C allows for flexible use, even outdoors. From precise welding to the final manufacturing steps, work is progressing steadily. We look forward to presenting the completed system in August. In the photos, you can see part of our team working continuously on this vessel. #Engineering #Innovation #thyssenkrupp #uhde
