Process food more efficiently and sustainably

Equans provides energy efficient systems that allow food processors to effectively cool, freeze and heat. We list the opportunities for heat recovery and the use of natural refrigerants, and help you to achieve optimum humidity control and air treatment. This ensures better product quality and a more efficient, safe and sustainable production process.

Using existing energy streams

Are you taking advantage of the opportunities to use residual heat for other processes, to improve product quality or to increase hygiene levels in (high care) production areas? With our technology and expertise, you can take advantage of these opportunities. For example, you can use the residual heat from your cooling systems and production processes to heat water, to defrost and temper frozen products in a controlled manner, or to maintain temperature levels in the different production areas. By linking existing energy streams, you can reduce energy consumption and waste. If this does not cover your total heat requirement, you can for instance generate additional heat sustainably with a heat pump.

Reduce energy consumption? Use residual heat to meet your heating needs.

Reduce moisture and condensation

Are you struggling to reduce moisture and condensation from cold stores to protect product quality? Ventilation with outside air reduces condensation in the (high-care) production areas, but this introduces bacterial risks that can influence quality and hygiene. Equans has therefore developed various systems that provide a grip on moisture regulation and condensation, without using outside air. This eliminates all hygiene risks and optimises product quality.

Secure your production process with natural refrigerants

Since 2022, it is not allowed to build new cooling installations with synthetic refrigerants that have a high GWP (Global Warming Potential). This is why we offer various suitable and safe applications for a future-proof alternative with natural refrigerants. By switching to natural refrigerants, you don’t only safeguard your own production process, but you can also benefit from interesting tax benefits.

Methodology

How we operate

Discussing your requirements
During the introduction we will discuss you requirements. What do you need to cool and/or heat? What are the specific requirements for your product of production process?
Concept designs
We are in regular contact and think along with you. The result is a conceptual design and cost estimate of the installation. We take into account capacity, energy consumption, maintenance and safety.
Discuss the concept
Have you seen the concept? Then we would like to discuss the proposal with you. Does the layout meet your expectations? Is the capacity of the equipment sufficient? Are the any adjustments needed?
Drawing up a quotation
Once we know what modifications are required, we start working on the final design and the engineering required. We will visit you to explain the final proposal and provide you with the quotation in person.
Carrying out the project
Are you in agreement with the quotation? Then, we will plan and execute the project with the project managers, planners, technicians, mechanics and anyone else involved. Of course, we will communicate all our plans and who is responsible for what.
Maintenance of the installation
After the project is complete, we can assist you in keeping your equipment in optimal condition. Our comprehensive maintenance service ensures the quality and safety of your production process.
