Trust quality - trust AUTOTHERM!

Yesterday and today...

In the early forties, Ludwig Brümmendorf already conceptualised the conservation of meat and sausage products by smoking and controlled climatisation. In order to put these plans and ideas to reality, he founded a company in 1949 for the production of automatic thermic devices. That is the origin of the name AUTOTHERM.
In the fifties, mainly cold-smoke chambers and climatised storage rooms were produced for the storage of salami and ham. The construction of the chambers developed and therefore chambers with tin or aluminium walls and an air circulation system were built. For the first time, it was not only possible to measure the temperature, but also the relative humidity by the psychrometric method of measurement and regulate temperature and humidity through a complex system of cooling, heating and humidification.

The quality of AUTOTHERM products rapidly became popular beyond Germanys borders.
Hot-smoke-chambers were developed in the sixties, in which the cooking process took place with low-pressure-steam-addition and cold-water-spraying in order to make work processes faster and more efficient. There was also intensive work on the development of the steam- smoke-system, which represented a totally new quality of smoking.
The seventies were characterised by the optimisation of these processes in the production of sausages. The first intensive-cooling systems for cooling cooked and hot-smoked products were made. A tunnel system was developed in which the smoke-trolleys were transported into a cooling area after smoking and cooking in order to be cooled down to packaging temperature.

The electric controls became larger and more complex with rising demands. As a result, in the eighties, the need for computerised controls arose, which would make complex program procedures possible. These computers not only regulate temperature and humidity, but also hydraulic and pneumatic systems as well as the cooling systems.
The nineties were influenced by environmental technologies. New methods in the field of emission control were utilised, such as new catalytic afterburners for cleaning emissions, the reduction of exhaust air and the use of liquid smoke.
Today, our clients throughout the world appreciate the outstanding quality and high performance of our products.

In the forties the company Autotherm developed its first smokechambers and also the first smoke generator – until today regarding the rising requirements continuously further technology and machines (e. g. cooking chamber, chambers with steamsmoke, smoke generator etc.) were developed and produced.
