Heaters and blowers for all needs
Advanced solutions for the food industry from Leister Technologies Italia (subsidiary of Swiss multinational Leister*), which provides the latest generation of hot air equipment.
The hot air applications in industrial processes in the food and beverage industry are manifold: From the dry-curing of raw materials and products to the drying and sterilization of containers, heatshrinking of labels, security seals or packaging to improve the aesthetic aspect of the finished product in confectionary production
It is in these processes that hot air provides significant advantages: an efficient, simple, clean system, that does not create undesired alterations in food products.
The Leister range of solutions for these processes is quite extensive and can satisfy virtually any demand: Constant investment in research and development and the ability to listen to the customer and understand their needs enables the company to devise and develop new proposals or refine existing solutions, leading to the achievement of excellent results.
Stand-alone heaters
Among Leister’s best known proposals we cite their MISTRAL and HOTWIND stand-alone heaters; used and appreciated for years by industry professionals, specifically designed for continuous operation, the two ranges have recently undergone a general technical and design overhaul.
Both use brushless motors, ensuring maximum durability and minimal maintenance requirements, this by virtue of the absence of charcoal.
• Mistral, the smaller of the two, is available in 3 models from 2300 to 4500 W, with a maximum footprint of only 352x90x91 mm it enables heat to be brought where it is needed in the industrial process, minimizing the mechanical and electrical supporting systems. The device is capable of heating the air up to 650°C and provides an air flow of up to 400 l/min. In the “premium” version, temperature and flow are simply handled via potentiometer, if required remotely. All this is at a very reasonable price.
In the particularly innovative “System” version, temperature and air flow parameters can be managed directly from the PLC of the machine or system on which the device has been installed, making for a simple process control and a unique repeatability. A convenient display renders set and operation parameters easily monitorable.
• Hotwind is Mistral’s “big brother”, featuring a more than double capacity to generate hot air (max. 900 l/min). With a heating power of the element that starts from 2,300 W in the simpler model and reaches 5400 W in the most powerful model, Hotwind is the versatile stand-alone heater par excellence. It too is available in the Premium and System versions, to better adapt to the different needs of the industrial processes in which it is used.
• The range of stand-alone heaters is completed by Vulcan: up to 11 kW of heating power in one compact and robust unit.
Other proposals for an efficient service. Alongside the range of stand-alone heaters, Leister offers an even wider and more varied choice with type LHS heaters, available in a power ranges from 550 W to 40 kW, and combinable with external blowers.
All Leister products - including Mistral and Hotwind - owe their reputation to the stringent quality control to which the entire production is subjected to in the company’s facilities in Switzerland. In the rare cases where the heaters require servicing, Leister Technologies Italia provides an impeccable, painstaking and timely service from its headquarters in Segrate (MI).
* For over 60 years Leister as a company has been providing industrial heaters and equipment for welding plastics; cutting-edge technologies, a wide and complete range, where qualified sales personnel allow the customer to find the ideal solution for the needs of companies operating in a wide range of sectors.
