ASTANA PRO TECH is an innovative Kazakhstani engineering company specializing in research, development, design, scaling, and manufacturing of high-tech chemical and physico-chemical processes. The company’s core focus areas are lyophilization (freeze-drying) and supercritical fluid extraction (SFE, primarily using CO₂). It delivers advanced technological solutions that preserve the natural quality, nutritional value, and bioactive properties of sensitive materials.
The company is headquartered in Astana, Kazakhstan. ASTANA PRO TECH provides a full cycle of services — from scientific concept development and laboratory R&D to pilot testing, industrial scaling, and small-batch production of specialized equipment. Its activities emphasize environmentally efficient, modular, and mobile technologies for agriculture, food processing, pharmaceuticals, and the chemical sector, supporting import substitution and deep processing of local raw materials.
Key Areas of Activity
Mobile Autonomous Freeze-Drying Units
The company designs and manufactures compact mobile freeze-drying systems intended for on-site processing of agricultural products. These solutions minimize logistical losses and increase product value at the point of origin.
Lyophilization is a gentle dehydration method in which the product is first frozen and then subjected to vacuum conditions, allowing ice to sublimate directly into vapor. This process ensures:
– Preservation of natural taste, aroma, and texture;
– Retention of color and visual appearance;
– Protection of vitamins, enzymes, and bioactive compounds;
– Excellent rehydration capability;
– Long shelf life without preservatives.
The equipment is suitable for processing fruits, vegetables, berries, herbs, mushrooms, meat, dairy products, and other perishable materials, transforming seasonal produce into high value-added goods such as freeze-dried snacks, functional food ingredients, and export-ready products.
Supercritical Fluid Extraction (SFE) Equipment
ASTANA PRO TECH develops supercritical CO₂ extraction systems that enable clean, solvent-free extraction of valuable components from plant-based raw materials. The technology is used to obtain:
– Essential oils;
– Flavor and aroma compounds;
– Active pharmaceutical ingredients;
– Nutraceuticals and other bioactive substances.
These solutions are applied in the food, pharmaceutical, and cosmetic industries.
Custom Development of High-Tech Processes and Equipment
The company provides a complete engineering cycle, including:
– Concept development and validation;
– Laboratory research and pilot prototyping;
– Process optimization;
– Design and small-batch manufacturing of specialized freeze-dryers, SFE systems, and integrated processing units.
ASTANA PRO TECH combines advanced international technologies with local engineering expertise to deliver sustainable, high-performance solutions for agribusiness and industry. Its technologies contribute to reducing post-harvest losses, developing export-oriented processing, strengthening food security, and fostering domestic high-tech manufacturing. The company’s innovative approach is supported through participation in national grant programs and industrial modernization initiatives.
