HAS hogeschool
Education and research with available facilities such as pilot equipment in the Food Technology Center (FTC), greenhouse, insectlab, climaterooms for cultivation without daylight, laboratories, environmental sciences lab.
Technical expertise
Our equipment is available for all kinds of companies in all kinds of industries in the food business. Support can be available for experiments and scale-ups.
If you want to smoke products in a smoking chamber with wood, or want to dry potatoes on a drumdryer, or want to de a vacuum evaporation, or want to make a new kind of bread. It's all possible in the Food Technology Centre (FTC)
Cultivation testing possibilities in the greehouse (KAS), or climateroom for testing without daylight.
Insect testing in the climatecells in our InsectLab.
Environmental science lab for eg. Fermentation, filtration and other applications.
Chemical and Micro lab facilities.
