Rising electricity prices ⚡️ are putting pressure on food processing companies, particularly those aiming for #energy independence. Read more about Reduce Electricity Costs with Dynamic Load Management in our #AnugaFoodTecMagazine here: https://lnkd.in/end332bR With self-generated energy, storage, heat pumps, and #electricvehicles (EV) charging stations, companies are reshaping their energy landscape 🚗🔌. As they push for #decarbonisation, electrifying processes has driven power consumption to new highs, increasing dependence on electric systems. However, this brings challenges: peak loads are now common, especially when production starts and multiple machines, systems, and EV charging points run simultaneously. This intense demand, reaching up to 250 kW, can raise annual costs by €50,000 and threaten grid stability, impacting reliability. Traditional load management in charging stations caps power to manage peaks but often misses the full potential of real-time, company-wide energy adaptation. Dynamic load management offers a smarter solution, enabling food processing companies to control peak loads without compromising reliability or efficiency. Actively managing electricity flow keeps costs down while ensuring priority charging for key vehicles, like those in management and delivery. This technology is empowering food companies to stay resilient, cost-effective, and ready for an electrified future. 🔋 #FoodIndustry #Sustainability #AnugaFoodTec2027

Cracking the code: Authentic organic eggs 🥚 Read more about Reliable Detection of Organic Eggs in our #AnugaFoodTecMagazine here: https://lnkd.in/eHr4fdjt Dr Andreas Juadjur, Head of the Chemical Analysis Department at DIL Deutsches Institut für Lebensmitteltechnik e. V. (German Institute of Food Technologies), explains a new innovative method now proves the authenticity of organic eggs with 99.9% accuracy! After analyzing 4,500 egg samples, researchers at the DIL have used H-NMR spectroscopy combined with advanced AI to identify farming methods based on egg yolk extracts. By comparing these unique “eggprints” 🧬 to a growing database, the method ensures that what’s on your plate is truly organic. This innovation opens doors for ensuring the quality of not only eggs but potentially other animal products like meat. 🥩🐄 The future of food authenticity has never looked more promising! #AnugaFoodTec2027

Innovative Deep-Freeze Warehouses❄️ Read more about deep-freeze warehouses in our #AnugaFoodTecMagazine here: https://lnkd.in/evMP4UVu In the world of deep-freeze warehouses, maintaining temperatures as low as -18°C is non-negotiable for preserving product quality—but it comes at a cost. Rising energy prices and the skilled worker shortage are forcing companies to rethink their approach. Companies are embracing automation to reduce manual labor in freezing conditions, improving safety and working conditions. Fully automated solutions can even cut space requirements by up to 60% and reduce energy consumption by up to 25%. 📉 Managing the high energy costs of deep freeze operations is critical. New technologies and effective energy management are helping businesses keep expenses under control while meeting the stringent European regulations on food safety. Maintaining an unbroken refrigeration chain is essential. Automation ensures products are stored and transported at precise temperatures, guaranteeing food safety and quality. The initial investment in automation may be high, but the long-term benefits such as improved efficiency, reduced energy use, and lower personnel costs make it a game-changer. Deep-freeze warehouses are moving towards a more automated, energy-efficient future. Will you be part of it? 🧊 #WarehouseAutomation #ColdChain #EnergyEfficiency #AnugaFoodTec #FoodandBeverage
