ICS Energietechnik - HotAir Technology for Industrial and Agricultural Drying Systems
ICS Energietechnik offers advanced hot air generator systems designed to supply energy efficiently to industrial and agricultural drying applications. By leveraging biomass, which is regionally accessible, rather than traditional fossil fuels, the system significantly decreases operating costs. With decades of expertise, the systems are compatible with numerous drying models thanks to their flexible design. These generators ensure long-term performance reliability by integrating tried-and-tested combustion with contemporary hot air technology. The design features a highly efficient stair grate combustion system, efficiently channeling hot gases to a heat exchanger, thus producing pollutant-free hot air. With a thermal output up to 15,000 kWth, they provide hot air volumes reaching 1,000,000 m³/h and temperatures up to 700 °C. This makes them suitable for a diverse set of drying needs across Europe. Each system is tailored to fit specific requirements while maintaining a robust design that supports a wide range of fuel options.Our hot air generator systems are manufactured to supply energy to industrial and agricultural drying systems. By using regionally available biomass instead of fossil fuels, drying costs can be significantly reduced. Flexible technology and many years of experience in the design of hot air systems allow the combination with almost all common dryer models.
The hot air generators and energy supply systems we have built have been successfully supplying energy for over 30 years and confirm the quality of our services. The ICS HotAir process combines proven combustion systems with modern and sophisticated hot air technology to ensure our customers the best possible flexibility and operational safety.
The fuel is fed to a highly efficient and very flexible stair grate combustion system via robust discharge systems. The hot gases created during the combustion process are transferred to a hot air heat exchanger in a controlled manner, in which the energy is transferred to the fresh air. Due to the spatial separation of the flue gases and the fresh air, indirect air heating is achieved and thus pollutant-free hot air is generated.

Flexible technology - many possible uses
The systems with ICS HotAir technology are manufactured with a thermal output of up to 15.000 kWth and can provide hot air volumes of up to 1.000.000 m³/h and temperatures of up to 700 °C for all drying applications. The robust design allows the use of a wide range of different fuels.
Our hot air systems are used throughout Europe in conjunction with various drying systems. The systems are always tailored precisely to the requirements of the respective drying system. The flexible design makes it possible to combine almost any drying system with our biomass systems.
