Innovative and worldwide unique heat pump based condensation drying technology for drying and preservation of food products

Description du projet

Une alternative durable aux systèmes de séchage des aliments

La transformation et la conservation durables des aliments sont essentielles pour assurer la consommation d’aliments sains, complets et appétissants. Les systèmes de séchage traditionnels consomment énormément d’énergie et prennent beaucoup de temps pour sécher le produit, ce qui affecte l’apparence et le goût. Le projet AIRGENEX-food, financé par l’UE, soutient la société allemande HARTER GmbH dans le développement d’un système de séchage en chambre qui garantit un processus de séchage fiable, doux et économe en énergie. Le système de séchage des aliments utilise une technologie de pompe à chaleur, ce qui devrait permettre de réduire considérablement la consommation d’énergie pour tout besoin de séchage. La climatisation et l’acheminement de l’air personnalisés produiront des résultats remarquablement rapides et efficaces tout en préservant les saveurs et l’apparence du produit fini.

By using variable and low temperatures a gentle way of drying food products, which is absolutely stress-free for the products, is guaranteed. An optimum air conditioning and air routing ensure high energy and cost savings compared to competing drying technologies. Moreover, by AIRGENEX®food the valuable condensate, which contains flavour and colour, can be collected and is available for further use. The new technology primarily addresses the food sector, which is a continuously growing market with an expect CAGR of 5.6% in the common years.
