Industrial exhaust air treatment for food processing
Effectively eliminate volatile organic compounds and odors while maximizing energy recovery to ensure your production facility meets stringent environmental regulations with minimal operational interruptions.

Centriair’s CentrOx™ centrifugal separator system is engineered to address the challenges of particulate and VOC removal in industrial exhaust air treatment. Utilizing a high-speed disc stack, it separates particles down to 1µm and follows with ColdOx® reactors for comprehensive VOC and odour elimination through photo-oxidation. Ideal for food processing, biogas plants, or paint production, this system enables energy recovery via heat exchangers, reducing operational costs significantly. It achieves a throughput suited to continuous operations and integrates seamlessly into existing lines with modular configurations. Automated flushing keeps maintenance minimal, ensuring reliable performance even under high-load conditions. Material options are available to meet specific industry needs, ensuring compliance and durability.
