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.

Zero waste legend Gerry Gillespie honoured by Australia
Gerry was the manager of Zero Waste NZ in the late 1990s. Along with Warren Snow and Julie Dickinson, he really kicked off the zero waste movement in Aotearoa back at the turn of the century. Now he has been appointed a Member of the Order of Australia (AM) for significant service to conservation, to organic waste management, and to the community.
For those of us who have had the privilege of working alongside Gerry, the honour comes as no surprise. If anything, many would say it is long overdue.
Gerry’s career has been remarkable because he consistently focused on practical solutions to real-world problems. At a time when much of the waste debate was still centred on disposal, Gerry was helping communities, governments and organisations understand that waste is not simply something to manage at the end of a process. It is a design failure, a lost resource and an opportunity waiting to be realised.
Congrats Gerry! So well deserved. You can read a fulsome tribute to Gerry's work from Mal Williams at Zero Waste International here.
