In the food industry, energy and water consumption are among the biggest challenges for producers. Traditional nixtamalization and other food processing methods can be resource-intensive, leading to higher operational costs and a greater environmental impact.
🌍💧 At Nextamalli, we know that efficient production can generate significant savings without compromising quality. In this blog, we explore how much businesses can save with optimized technology and how this benefits both companies and the planet.
📉 The Impact of Energy and Water Consumption in Production
Traditional corn nixtamalization requires high volumes of water and gas, leading to increased costs and significant environmental impact.
Water 🚰: Traditional methods use up to 10 liters of water per kilogram of corn, much of which is wasted as nejayote (alkaline wastewater).
Energy ⚡: Traditional cooking systems rely on LPG gas or firewood, generating pollution and high fuel consumption.
Cooking time ⏳: The nixtamalization process can take up to 8 hours, leading to prolonged use of energy and water.
How can we optimize these resources without sacrificing product quality?
♻️ ALITECH Technology: Less Consumption, More Efficiency
At Nextamalli, we have developed ALITECH technology, a system that optimizes nixtamalization with lower water and energy consumption.
Up to 40% savings in gas and electricity ⚡, reducing operational costs.
Cooking time reduced from 8 hours to just 2.5 hours ⏳, maximizing production.
Efficient water use, reducing waste and making better use of resources.
Lower CO₂ emissions, contributing to a more sustainable production process.
💡 This means lower environmental impact and higher profitability for producers.
📊 How Much Can You Save with Efficient Production?
By implementing modern technologies like ALITECH, businesses can achieve significant savings:
Water savings 💧: Reducing water consumption by 50% means less waste and lower costs for supply and treatment.
Lower energy costs ⚡: By optimizing the cooking process, businesses use up to 40% less gas and electricity, reducing monthly bills.
Higher production in less time ⏳: Shorter processing times allow companies to produce more with fewer resources.
The result: More efficiency, lower environmental impact, and greater profitability. 🚀
🌍 Environmental Benefits of Sustainable Production
Beyond cost savings, efficient use of water and energy has a positive impact on the environment:
🌱 Less liquid waste: Reduction of nejayote and better water usage throughout the process.
🌎 Lower carbon footprint: Decreased gas and electricity emissions with more efficient technologies.
💡 Long-term sustainability: Implementing eco-friendly processes ensures resource conservation for future generations.
At Nextamalli, we believe that innovation in energy and water efficiency is key to creating a more sustainable and competitive production model.
