The number and complexity of industrial food and beverage production processes are enormous as they range from Pasteurization, Cooking and Baking, Tempering, Extrusion, Texturization and Oil Frying. Enormous amounts of heat is wasted during these processes if the thermal energy is not captured and reused. Furthermore, pollutants and contaminants in the exhaust air such as grease and moisture in the food & beverage industry, make it a challenge to recover heat.

 Lepido ensures optimal efficiency and is designed to withstand high temperatures and pressures. The recovered heat can be used to heat replacement air or returned to the process itself by preheating liquid/air. Lepido’s innovative design facilitates easy cleaning, and this is especially important in the food manufacturing industry, where hygiene standards are stringent to ensure the safety and quality of food products.

 

Its patented robust construction, resistance to contaminants, and ability to handle high temperatures, pressure and variable air streams make it an ideal solution for industrial heat recovery applications.
