Applications
Select an application to explore heat recovery for your food production facility.
Industrial baking ovens, fryers, and cooking lines discharge exhaust gases at 150–300°C, carrying substantial recoverable thermal energy. Our EcoTherm EAA air-to-air heat exchangers recover this heat for preheating combustion air, drying applications, or space heating — reducing gas consumption by 15–25%. SS 304L construction ensures food-safe operation and resistance to the moisture-laden, occasionally acidic exhaust common in food production environments.

Food & Beverage
Key advantages for food production heat recovery.
Food-Grade Construction
SS 304L stainless steel construction meets food industry hygiene requirements — smooth surfaces, no crevices, compatible with CIP cleaning chemicals.
Steam System Efficiency
ThermStack TSE economisers improve boiler efficiency by 4–8% — significant savings for steam-intensive food and beverage manufacturing.
Moisture-Tolerant Design
Engineered to handle the high-moisture, occasionally acidic exhaust gases common in food production — ovens, fryers, and cooking lines.
CIP Compatible
Designed for integration with clean-in-place systems — ensuring heat exchangers can be cleaned in line with food safety production schedules.
Rapid Payback
12–18 month typical payback through fuel savings on boiler and water heating systems — compelling ROI for food manufacturers.
CO₂ Reduction
Up to 4,466 tonnes CO₂ per year reduction — supporting food industry sustainability commitments and carbon reporting obligations.
Integrates With
Food-Grade Systems
Hygienic stainless steel construction meets food safety standards — retrofit into existing process heating and cooling infrastructure.
Food-Safe Heat Recovery
Pays for Itself.
Food and beverage production consumes enormous amounts of thermal energy — pasteurisation, CIP cleaning, cooking, and cooling all require reliable heat transfer. Our shell and tube heat exchangers recover waste heat from these processes for reuse, while full stainless steel construction ensures food-grade hygiene compliance.
Recover waste heat from pasteurisation and cooking for process water preheating — cutting energy bills significantly.
Full SS 304L/316 construction meets hygiene standards — cleanable tube bundles for CIP integration.
Removable end covers enable tube-side cleaning without disconnecting process pipework — minimising downtime.
