LP gas prices have shown a steady increase in recent years, directly impacting the operating costs of thousands of tortillerías across Mexico. On top of this, energy demand continues to grow, inflation affects purchasing power, and businesses are expected to adopt more sustainable practices with ALITECH technology.
Faced with this reality, Nextamalli’s ALITECH technology stands out as a smart and profitable solution for tortilla producers who want to maintain the quality of traditional nixtamal while improving efficiency and cutting costs.
📈 What’s happening with gas in 2025?
According to industry projections and government reports, LP gas is expected to:
- Continue rising in price due to global factors
- Fluctuate unpredictably across different regions
- Remain one of the highest fixed costs in tortillería operations
At the same time, businesses are increasingly being called to reduce their carbon footprint and show real environmental commitment.
⚙️ What is ALITECH technology?
ALITECH is a proprietary technology developed by Nextamalli and integrated into its nixtamal cooking reactors. It’s designed to maximize thermal efficiency, minimize energy loss, and cut cooking time to just 2.5 hours.
Thanks to its thermal innovation and technical design, it offers:
- ✅ Up to 40% gas savings per batch
- ✅ Uniform, controlled cooking
- ✅ Less heat waste
- ✅ Higher yield of cooked corn per kilo
💰 What does that mean financially?
Let’s look at an example using a 150 kg RB gas reactor:
- Traditional gas usage: ~6.5 kg per batch
- With ALITECH technology: ~3.8 kg per batch
- Savings per batch: ~$65 MXN
- Monthly savings (3 batches/day, 25 days): ~$4,875 MXN
- Estimated yearly savings: over $58,000 MXN
And that’s not even counting the reduced wear and tear on equipment, lower maintenance, and reduced emissions.
🌎 ALITECH technology and sustainability
Beyond economic benefits, ALITECH technology helps businesses align with sustainability goals:
- Reduced energy consumption
- Lower carbon emissions
- Better corn efficiency
- Can be paired with solar panels (in electric models)
This turns your tortillería into a model of energy-efficient and eco-friendly production.
✅ Conclusion
In 2025, gas savings aren’t a luxury—they’re a survival strategy. With Nextamalli’s ALITECH technology, you can maintain the traditional quality of your nixtamal while adapting to today’s challenges: saving energy, increasing productivity, and staying sustainable.
Investing in innovation today means securing your business’s future.
