AKT-KIX dehydrator

The advantages of the AKT-KIX dehydrator

  • The AKT-KIX has a 44 year history of research and development in the field of dehydration
  • Details are available of comprehensive R&D trialling of over 500 organic products and minerals, with 300 machines installed in some 37 countries around the world
  • AKT challenges any other dehydrator or organic recovery system to warrant on contract that their pepsin digestibility outputs can be over 90%, or in blood 98%
  • The KIX, simultaneously with only 5 second contact can sterilise, produce surface lipid complexing and enhance encapsulation  
  • It can ensure nutrient profiles comparable to freeze drying. With virtually free gelatinisation due to an internal capacity to generate steam explosions within the materials being processed
  • It is called a KIX because its operating performance will allow you to optimise the values intrinsic in the products currently creating your problems 
  • If processing 1000 litres of water, you will need some 10m² of floor space and 7 metres of height. The evaporation process can treat fresh water, seawater or whole mussel shells. The KIX machine comes with a two-year warranty and will give your materials processing an average 30 year of life span
  • The only machine comparable in performance to an AKT - KIX is a spray dryer which is unable to process solids, viscous or putrid materials. Spray dryer processing requires extensive pre-treatments or product stabilisation. Spray driers are not yet able to guarantee digestibility, are unable to match freeze drying standards and are at least 10 times the cost of a KIX.

 Compost work with the Greater Good project in Samoa

Nappies constitute around 27% of the total waste stream in Samoa. To reduce microplastic contamination in the local environment, the Greater Good Project is using the SPICE compost process in Maye Bruce boxes constructed from recycled wood transportation pallets, to compost nappies in combination with grass to make a high quality compost. Washable nappies are not viable due to a lack of reliable energy and water supplies in indigenous villages. The compost process offers an opportunity to capture faeces and urine in nappies as an asset rather than disposing of it to the environment. The high temperature in the compost process which is neither turned nor aerated provides a safe process for local compost production.
​It is hoped to spread this simple process to other Pacific Nations - safe, effective composting with little mechanical input.
