heat recovery
Heat recovery for food processing
Food processing is an energy-intensive activity – from blanching and boiling to cleaning. These processes require large amounts of energy and, in turn, produce substantial heat and waste energy, much of which often disappears through extraction systems.

energy optimization
Lower energy consumption – more sustainable operation
With Exodraft’s heat recovery solutions, excess heat from sources such as gas boilers or exhaust air can be captured and reused for other purposes within the production process. This means lower energy consumption, reduced waste, and more sustainable operations – without compromising hygiene standards or process stability.
Whether you’re blanching vegetables or working in other areas of food processing, we can deliver a solution tailored to your process and production setup.

Why heat recovery is relevant for food processing
Food processing requires significant energy for heating, cleaning and process control – often in round-the-clock operations and temperature-sensitive environments. Whether it’s blanching, pasteurising, or cleaning production equipment, large volumes of waste heat are generated and often lost.
At the same time, food production must meet stringent demands for both hygiene and energy optimisation – making heat recovery particularly relevant. By reusing excess heat, companies can significantly reduce their energy consumption while meeting sustainability and financial responsibility goals.
Heat recovery is not just a technical upgrade – it’s a strategic investment in production optimisation and green transition.

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 recovery 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 food companies utilise waste heat
The food industry produces a constant flow of heat – especially from processes such as steaming, blanching, and boiling. Exodraft’s heat recovery solutions make it possible to capture this energy and apply it where it provides the greatest value.
Typical applications include:
- Heating domestic hot water, e.g. for cleaning and CIP (Clean-in-Place) systems
- Heating buildings and staff facilities
- Cleaning operations where hot water is a hygienic necessity
- Absorption cooling to manage heat challenges during summer periods
- Export to district heating networks, turning excess heat into a new source of revenue
- Strengthening ESG profile and CO₂ documentation
By integrating heat recovery into your food production, you not only achieve savings but gain greater control over your energy flows and reduce dependency on external energy sources.
