Food processing

Analysis and optimization of air and liquid flows and design of food processing systems

Why is the cookie on the left side of the oven darker than the one on the right side?
How long does it take to mix 2 liquids?
How do I freeze 100 pallets of food as fast as possible?
How do I create the perfect climate for growing vegetables?

This is just a short range of questions we get from the food processing industry and with our expertise in fluid dynamics we provide the answers. Because airflows and liquid flows play a major role in the efficiency and functionality of al lot of processes, such as heating, cooling, baking, freezing, climatizing, drying, mixing and transport. Typically, the uniformity of the airflow inside processing rooms, ovens, freezers, mixers, vertical farming equipment, etc. determines the quality, the energy consumption and the throughput of the equipment.

Our services range from flow analysis to designing entire food processing systems. By visualizing the airflow and possible heat transfer inside your food processing equipment, we give you insight into the functionality and efficiency of your system. We identify possible flow issues and suggest improvements.

If we are involved in the entire system design, we also help you with the sourcing of the right components like fans, heating elements, filters, etc., and we advise you on the right control algorithms.

In a later development phase, we can help you through the process of implementation and fine tuning of the equipment.
