HRS Heat Exchangers is set to showcase its market-leading food processing solutions, designed to help manufacturers improve energy efficiency and reduce operating costs, at this year’s Foodtech Packtech.
Part of the global EIL Group, HRS Heat Exchangers has more than four decades of experience helping businesses reduce energy consumption in all food production areas, such as pasteurisation and sterilisation. Today, as manufacturers continue to face the dual challenge of high energy costs and the need to reduce carbon, it is essential for every business to examine the equipment it uses and identify where immediate savings and longer-term efficiencies can be made.
Managing director of HRS Australia and New Zealand, Chris Little, said that by delivering unparalleled energy efficiency, HRS Heat Exchangers solutions provided the shortest possible payback period and rapid return on investment.
“A difference of five to 10 percent in thermal efficiency, for instance, will quickly translate into direct savings in energy and operating costs while rising wholesale energy prices could still see the payback period reduced further,” said Little.
Little continued that a solution recently installed for an HRS customer in Europe, using a wastewater stream from a cooker, had a payback period of fewer than 90 days and saved more than 500 kg of CO2e per day.
“HRS equipment includes hygienic corrugated tube and scraped-surface heat exchanger designs, ideally suited to highly viscous products, improving heat transfer and operational efficiency.”
At the same time, HRS’ options with heat regeneration provide the highest levels of energy efficiency, which cuts costs and reduces carbon. In addition, features such as remote monitoring and telemetry are standard.
Offering stand-alone solutions or complete packaged systems, HRS produces a wide range of equipment as well as bespoke systems, including corrugated tube and scraped surface heat exchangers, pasteurisers and sterilisers, in-Place Cleaning systems (CIP and SIP), aseptic fillers, direct steam injection sterilisers, concentration and evaporation systems, ice crushers and melters, hydraulic piston pumps, and air removal (deaeration) systems.
To learn more about the HRS range, please visit HRS Heat Exchangers on Stand 2110 at Foodtech Packtech from 19 to 21 September 2023. Look out for the distinctive orange shoes worn by the HRS team.
