Sustainable Energy
Condensing Systems
Latest-generation heating boilers for maximum energy efficiency.
Enthalpic System
The windows in the curing area open automatically when specific environmental conditions are met.
Regenerative Heating
Heat generated by the refrigeration cell motors is stored and reused to produce hot water.
Photovoltaic Panels
The photovoltaic system absorbs solar energy even under suboptimal weather conditions and produces clean electricity.
Circular Economy
Recovery of Spent Salt
The spent salt from the ham salting process is collected and reused by tanneries or for de-icing roads in winter.
Reuse of Processing Waste
Animal-origin waste from the production process is supplied to authorized companies and then used in feed production or cogeneration plants.
Treatment of Process Water
Special degreasing tanks have been installed to clean process water and better dispose of the fat it contains.
