Customer requirement

Driven by the need for modernization, the company has renovated two of its drying facilities. The goal was to replace outdated systems with highly efficient, sustainable technologies that would optimize production and guarantee the highest product quality while maintaining a minimal environmental impact.

Solution proposed by GasN2

Installation of two USV-15.21 model dryers and an MT150 refrigeration unit with a secondary circuit.

Refrigeration is provided to the client’s dryers, cold storage rooms, and work areas. Waste heat from the refrigeration process is recovered using a heat pump.

Benefits of the solution

  • Elimination of defrost cycles

  • Reduction in breakdowns due to freezing of the cooling coil.

  • Continuous production

  • The equipment can operate 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

  • Energy optimization

  • Centralized cooling via chiller and secondary circuit reduces the overall energy consumption of the installation.

  • Individualized temperature and humidity control

  • The installed drying technology allows for independent control of the room’s humidity levels.

  • Data traceability

  • All information regarding equipment performance is tracked and documented.

  • Digital display

  • The operating data of the curing process is displayed on the screen.

Results

  • A 15% increase in production capacity, due to optimized cycle times in the renovated dryers.

  • Energy savings by replacing refrigeration needs with more efficient heating.

  • Cost savings by eliminating inefficiencies from obsolete equipment.

  • Process optimization, increasing efficiency and reducing operating costs.

  • Excellence and consistency in the final product, ensuring that it retains its organoleptic properties.
