Introducing the Therminator, oil-free heat pump that utilizes waste heat, perfect for the food industries high-temperature processes.

Green transition for Heating and Cooling

The food and beverage industries are one of the most energy-intensive sectors, relying heavily on high-temperature heat for essential
processes such as pasteurization, sterilization, drying, and cooking.

Traditionally, these heat requirements are met by fossil-fuel-based systems, which not only incur high operational costs but also contribute to substantial CO₂ emissions. With our heat pump solution, we offer a complete energy transformation to meet your process heating needs.

Decarbonizing Heat-Intensive Processes

The Upheat oil-free high-temperature heat pumps provide an innovative solution by replacing fossil fuels with efficient, electric heat in the 1MW to 3MW range typically needed for food production. Our heat pumps capture waste heat and lift it back to usable temperatures. They use natural refrigerants that are environmentally friendly, making them perfect for companies aiming to reach net-zero goals. By reducing the reliance on fossil fuels, Upheat helps food manufacturers significantly lower emissions while ensuring product quality and safety.

ROI in 1 to 3 years

With Upheat high-temperature heat pumps, food and beverage producers can achieve substantial energy cost reductions. Our technology delivers up to 7 times more heat energy per unit of electricity consumed, resulting in major operational savings. The oil-free design minimizes maintenance and downtime, ensuring long-term reliability, essential for high-demand production environments.

Heat pump customers often see a return on investment (ROI) in just 1 to 3 years, providing a financial advantage that supports achieving decarbonization targets without sacrificing performance. For those focused solely on heating, we offer a Heat-as-a-Service package, allowing you to only pay for the results.

Easy Plug-and-Play Setup

The Upheat heat pump is a containerized, modular solution for easy integration. Simply connect it to your waste heat source, electrical power, and heat sink for a quick setup with minimal downtime. Experience a fast and hassle-free installation!

Savings Calculation Example with Therminator

Scenario: Food drying in Italy

A food processing facility requires 1 MW of heat for drying, operating 8,000 hours per year. The facility currently uses natural gas as its primary energy source, and we will compare this to the cost of using Upheat high-temperature heat pump.
