Company patents
FLSmidth A/S
FLSmidth A/S's patent strategy shows a surprising decline in core materials processing areas, with Cement & Ceramics and Catalysts & Reactors both experiencing a 100.0% year-over-year decrease in patenting activity in 2024 and 2026 (so far). While Separation Processes (Filtration, Distillation) accounts for 11.4% of their portfolio, its 50.0% decline in 2026 suggests a potential shift in focus, despite a consistent number of patents in Bearings & Shafts.

Development of concrete and cement compositions utilizing waste products, alternative binders, or eco-friendly additives to reduce environmental impact and resource consumption.
Technologies and materials for capturing carbon dioxide from gas streams and subsequently converting it into valuable chemical products or materials, rather than simply storing it.
Methods for layer-by-layer deposition or 3D printing of concrete and cement-based materials, often employing rapidly hydrating binders or specialized compositions for rapid setting.
Methods and processes for fabricating ceramic matrix composites (CMCs), including preform creation, infiltration techniques, and densification to form complex shapes with enhanced properties.
Equipment and processes for separating solid particles from liquid or gas phases in industrial settings, encompassing mechanical screening, filtration of molten materials, and various filter media designs.
Improvements to the internal components and configurations of rolling element bearings, such as cage designs, separator materials, raceway geometry, or adjustable elements, to enhance performance or lifespan.
Devices and methods that utilize high-speed mechanical action, fluid impact, or cavitation phenomena to intensely mix, disperse, or treat fluids, often for emulsification, particle size reduction, or decontamination.
Equipment and techniques specifically designed for effectively mixing and agitating high-viscosity fluids, slurries, or suspensions, often found in industrial, chemical, or battery manufacturing processes where material flow is challenging.
Membrane and depth filtration for industrial separation, gas purification, and bioprocess clarification including cross-flow, dead-end, tangential flow filtration, and oil/water separation.
Innovations in the physical structure, materials, support mechanisms, and operational monitoring of conveyor belts to improve durability, cleanliness, safety, or specific handling capabilities, including specialized drive mechanisms.
Technologies and methods for securely closing, sealing, and maintaining the integrity of packages, including heat sealing, vacuum sealing, strapping, and specialized closure units, often involving material interaction and atmosphere control.
Methods and apparatuses for creating unique package structures, such as recesses in specific materials, blister packages, or single-dose units, and for controlled dispensing of products from storage into these containers.
