Heat recovery
for the metal industry
Production in the metal industry is often characterised by high temperatures, energy-intensive processes and substantial heat generation – especially during melting, casting and heat treatment.

Scalable, robust and
energy-efficient solutions
Production in the metal industry is often characterised by high temperatures, energy-intensive processes and substantial heat generation – especially during melting, casting and heat treatment. Heat that is not used directly in the process typically ends up as waste.
Exodraft’s heat recovery solutions make it possible to capture and reuse this energy. It can be used for heating buildings, preheating process water or even sold via the district heating network – all without negatively affecting production.
Our systems are scalable and robust, making them ideal for everything from small workshops to large industrial metal plants.

Why heat recovery is relevant for the metal industry
In the metal industry, heat is not only essential – it is also a significant operational expense. Whether it’s welding, casting, pressing or thermal treatment, vast amounts of surplus heat are generated and often lost unused.
At the same time, many metal companies face rising energy costs and increasing demands for sustainability and emissions reduction – from both customers and authorities. Heat recovery offers a direct solution to both challenges: it recycles energy that has already been paid for and reduces the need for external heating.
This makes heat recovery a smart investment – both economically and strategically.

Get energised by contributing to a more sustainable future
Let us help you! – We custom solutions for recovering your waste heat, so you can optimize your energy efficiency for the benefit of both the environment and your business.
Can I recover my waste heat?
You can recover up to 95% of waste heat from process air, steam, and flue gases. The surplus energy can be stored or used directly to optimize production processes.
Why heat recovery is important
There are increasing demands for us to take responsibility in the green transition. With the right system, you can reduce your carbon footprint and costs.
Will the investment benefit my business
Our solutions not only enhance your green profile but also improve your financial bottom line. Typically, the investment pays off in 2-3 years.

How metal companies utilise waste heat
I processer som metalsmeltning, udglødning, hærdning, Processes such as metal melting, annealing, hardening, forming, drawing and casting generate large volumes of excess heat.
With Exodraft’s heat recovery solutions, this energy can be captured and redirected back into production.
Typical applications include:
- Heating of production halls and facilities
- Heating of domestic hot water for staff areas and washing
- Preheating process water for washing or chemical treatment
- Absorption cooling – converting heat into cold during warmer periods
- Export to district heating networks, where permitted by infrastructure and regulations
- Strengthening ESG profile and CO₂ documentation
In this way, heat from heavy industrial processes becomes an active energy source – and not just a by-product.
