Bon voyage: Filters start a second life in France

Two of our pre-owned Nutsche filters have travelled to their new owner in France. Watch how they started the journey to their new homeland and take a look at a day of the Foeth logistics team.

The two pre-owned Nutsche filters were manufactured by 3V Tech-Cogeim. In their previous lives, they were used to help manufacture organic chemicals. After being acquired by Foeth, they were thoroughly inspected, tested and cleaned by our skilled team. The machines will now travel to France where they will be used in the extraction of active ingredients from plants, which will be used in food and cosmetics. They were picked up at Foeth’s premises in Barneveld in the Netherlands where the Foeth Logistics team loaded them from their storage onto the trucks with help from our transport partner G.L. de Haan BV. Due to the machines' size and a significant amount of parts and accessoires, it was quite the undertaking! Three trucks were brought in to ensure fast and safe travel from the Netherlands to South-West of France. Watch below how the filters were prepared for their 11-hour journey, off to a new adventure.

For our client, a manufacturer of sustainable products in the chemical industry with a focus on ecological transition, the choice to buy a pre-owned machine was incredibly important. When you buy one of our pre-owned machines, you’ll avoid 4.43 tons of CO2 emissions (per 1,000 kg) compared to the production of a new machine. By purchasing these two Nutsche filters, our client has saved the planet from around 128.47 tons of CO2 emissions. Join us on our sustainable mission!
