The customer required a reliable and continuous heat source to support the drying and heating processes in food production. This phase is critical: removing moisture in a controlled way is essential to prevent chemical or microbiological reactions, ensuring the quality, stability, and safety of the final product.
The goal was to achieve a high-efficiency, monitorable, and low-emissions system capable of delivering consistent performance over time.
Implemented solution
A complete thermal system was designed and supplied, consisting of ASGX EN superheated water generators, with a total installed capacity of 15 MW.
The configuration includes:
- Three-pass boiler design for robustness and stable operation
- Economizer to recover residual heat from flue gases
- Full thermal insulation to minimize heat losses
- ICI ETERM continuous monitoring system, ensuring real-time control of performance and operating parameters
This solution is based on ICI Powering Evolution’s proven expertise in the dry and fresh pasta industry, where temperature precision is essential.
Achieved results
The system enables:
- Maximized thermal efficiency thanks to heat recovery technology
- Reduced emissions, with optimized combustion cycles
- Minimized thermal losses, ensuring stable process temperatures
- Real-time monitoring of critical performance parameters
Benefits obtained
✅ High and stable energy efficiency
✅ Lower consumption and reduced operating costs
