With more than half a century of experience in artisanal sausage production, Aliemsa is a leader in the food industry, committed to quality and tradition. However, evolving regulations on fluorinated gases (HFCs) and rising energy costs presented a significant challenge: modernizing its production processes without compromising the authenticity of its products.

The Challenge

The project had two objectives:

  • Preserve the artisanal quality that defines Aliemsa sausages.
  • Optimize production, ensuring consistent drying cycles, reducing energy consumption, and completely eliminating refrigerant leaks.

The Solution: Horizontal Drying System (HDS)

Key aspects of the solution:

  • Fluorinated gas-free technology

The sustainable refrigeration system eliminates dependence on HFCs, reducing leak risks, operating costs, and environmental impact. This not only ensures compliance with current regulations but also reinforces Aliemsa’s commitment to sustainability.

  • New airflow distribution

Thanks to reverse flow technology, the equipment guarantees homogeneous production. This advancement ensures uniform development of the characteristic mold on the sausages, improving the quality and consistency of the final product.

  • Independent cooling and drying control

The separation of key variables such as humidity, temperature, and production cycles allows for precise control, optimizing energy consumption and adapting to the specific needs of each production batch.

Results

The solution implemented by GasN2 has had a significant impact on ALIEMSA’s operations, highlighting the following results:

  • Maintaining the authenticity of its products, respecting artisanal processes.
  • Significantly reducing energy consumption, with a direct impact on operating costs.
  • Complying with environmental regulations and strengthening its commitment to sustainability.
  • Ensuring consistent, high-quality production, consolidating its market position.

The collaboration between Aliemsa and GasN2 is a clear example of how technological innovation can be integrated into traditional processes to meet modern standards without losing the artisanal essence. With sustainable and efficient solutions, Aliemsa has not only overcome regulatory and energy challenges but has also reaffirmed its commitment to excellence in each of its products.
