A wide range of applications
Simple and robust solutions for controlled heat treatment
Spirajoule technology was originally developed in 1999 for food ingredients treatment. From food ingredients, through forestry and crops residues, up to the various polymer treatment and minerals processing – since over 20 years we design our solutions around the specific need of the industry.
We have worked with a variety of products using the temperatures between 100 to 750°C and treating free-flowing granules, crystals, powders, pellets, sands, and seeds.
Treatment of materials in controlled conditions triggers the chemical reactions in the product that would be otherwise unavailable, leading to the modifications of its structural, chemical and physical properties. It allows to engineer the products up to the specific market demand and add significant value to otherwise low quality materials.
The fundamentals of the system are based exclusively on electricity, which is increasingly often coming from renewable sources. Thermal solid processing is performed without the necessity of combusting the fossil fuels to produce the heat necessary for reaction. This often allows to avoid the unnecessary greenhouse gases emissions and facilitates the management of the process, including the emission control.
Our technologies allow to process the powders in elevated temperatures in oxidizing or controlled atmospheres. Whether it is roasting, debacterization, pyrolysis or calcination process, Spirajoule is capable to perform a variety of thermal treatment and reactions.
