Hamberger Flooring, the company behind the Haro brand, uses modular waste heat solutions from Orcan Energy. Waste heat modules convert excess heat into CO2-neutral electricity and enable additional savings on the existing cooling system. The first module at the Stephanskirchen site has been in operation since spring 2024. Due to the positive results, Hamberger Flooring has ordered another module. It is scheduled for delivery and installation in the first quarter of 2025.
At Haro's Stephanskirchen site, a hot water network supplies the production of various floor coverings with heat for drying, gluing, and surface treatment. While some of the excess heat can be used for heating in winter, significant overcapacity exists, especially in summer. The waste heat modules from Orcan Energy converts this excess heat into electricity that can be used directly on-site. In addition to the electricity cost advantage, this reduces the utilization of the existing cooler, resulting in further savings.
Hans Peter Bauer, Head of Central Services at Hamberger Flooring, comments:
"The installation of the first module was a complete success. From initial order to implementation, we were able to create a system in less than six months that makes our processes significantly more energy-efficient and thus more sustainable. The second module will help us fully utilize our on-site waste heat potential."
Andreas Sichert, CEO of Orcan Energy, adds:
"The collaboration with Hamberger Flooring is a great example of a successful local partnership and the advantages of our modular approach. This allows us to adapt flexibly to individual site requirements and specific waste heat potentials. Now that the customer has been convinced of the benefits of our technology, the system can now be easily expanded with a second module."
