Ventilation solutions for the food industry
Hygienic process ventilation for the food industry
Ensure food safety, prevent cross-contamination, and handle explosive dust with Technor's specialized solutions.
There is no room for error in food production. Whether you are handling dry ingredients like flour and spices, or running wet processes in dairies and processing plants, the industry demands strict hygiene and operational stability.
ATEX – When flour and sugar become explosive
Many ingredients in the food industry (flour, starch, sugar, spices) are highly explosive in dust form. A single spark in a filter system can have fatal consequences.
- Certified safety: We dimension and deliver systems with full ATEX documentation, correct zone classification, and necessary safety equipment such as explosion relief panels, flameless venting, and spark arrestors.
- Safe placement: We advise on the placement of filters and exhaust vents (e.g., with pressure relief directed upwards or outdoors) so that both employees and buildings are optimally secured.
Hygiene and Controlled Climate
Excessive humidity can ruin powder products or create breeding grounds for mold. Temperatures that are too low can affect rising processes. Technor delivers solutions that control the entire environment.
- Easy-Clean design: We use textile ducts (air socks) and piping that are easy to clean and ensure draft-free air distribution over exposed products.
- Humidity and temperature control: Via advanced heat exchangers and cooling coils, we can keep humidity below critical levels (e.g., <55%) and ensure a stable temperature year-round.
- Avoid "Sticky Dust": When handling fatty or moist powders, we design the filters so they do not clog and lose suction power.
From bakery to fish farming
We help food producers solve complex challenges regarding indoor climate and process air. Here are three examples of our solutions:
Bæchs Conditori A/S
With the expansion of a new production hall for cakes and desserts, Bæchs faced several challenges: Handling explosive flour dust and heat from large industrial ovens
Nordic Kingfish
In land-based fish farming (aquaculture), water quality and air quality are closely linked. At Nordic Kingfish, open tanks created high humidity and CO2 accumulation, resulting in a poor working environment.
Weird
Procudan handles ingredients and packaging where products are extremely sensitive to humidity and temperature fluctuations. At the same time, the dust can be explosive.
Energy optimization – Recover heat from the furnace
Baking, frying, and boiling generate huge amounts of excess heat, which is often simply vented into the atmosphere. We change that.
- Heat recovery: We install efficient heat exchangers on the exhaust from industrial ovens and cooling tunnels, allowing the heat to be reused for heating domestic water or production halls.
- Demand control: Intelligent dampers ensure that extraction only runs at full power when the oven is open or the line is running, significantly minimizing electricity consumption.
Do You Have Control Over Your Food Process?
Whether you need spot extraction at mixing stations, ventilation of large oven halls, or ATEX consultancy, we have the experience.
