Heating frying oil: Bozzler Energy Achieves Highest Fuel Efficiency with Advanced Wet-Back Technology

With a strong foundation in machine design, industry-best practices, and a commitment to sustainability, Bozzler Energy Pvt. Ltd. has established itself as a leader in manufacturing energy-efficient and durable heating equipment for modern industries. 

Ahead of Indusfood Manufacturing 2025, India Business & Trade engaged in a conversation with Jayesh Patel, Managing Director of Bozzler Energy, to explore the company’s innovative heating and boiler solutions. During the interview, Mr. Patel shared insights into Bozzler’s technological advancements, energy efficiency measures, and sustainability-driven approach, showcasing how the company consistently stays ahead of industry trends while addressing the evolving needs of its clients.

IBT: Which specific heating solutions or boiler technologies does your company specialize in for food manufacturing applications? How do you perceive the evolution and application of these technologies in India’s food manufacturing industry?

Jayesh Patel:

"We specialize in two key products for food manufacturing: thermic fluid heaters and direct edible oil heaters. Thermic fluid heaters are widely used in processes like frying potato chips, snacks, namkeen. Our advanced wet-back technology in fluid-fuel-fired thermic fluid heaters ensures high fuel efficiency and cost-effectiveness. These heaters use gas or diesel and are essential for indirect heating applications in food processing."

"Six years ago, we introduced the direct edible oil heater, an innovative system that eliminates the need for thermic fluid heaters and steam boilers. This heater directly heats edible oil and can be installed close to the frying line, simplifying the process and reducing capital and maintenance costs. Unlike traditional systems requiring multiple pumps and controls, our direct heater is compact, efficient, and easy to maintain."

"This product has been highly successful, with over 100 units installed globally. Clients include Pran in Bangladesh, a leading food corporation. In India, we’ve supplied units to Flavorite Technology, SM Food Engineering, and Economode Food Equipments, among others. Both our thermic fluid heaters and direct edible oil heaters offer significant advantages in space, cost, and efficiency, making them ideal solutions for the food manufacturing industry."

IBT: How do your services address the unique needs of the F&B sector, particularly in terms of energy efficiency and sustainability?

Jayesh Patel:

"Yes, as I mentioned earlier, we have developed a wet-back technology that is incorporated into both our edible oil heater and thermic fluid heater. By using this technology, we are able to achieve the highest levels of efficiency, particularly in terms of fuel efficiency, in both of these heating systems. This translates into significant cost savings for customers during their processing operations. As a result, the customer benefits indirectly through reduced operational costs, thanks to the superior fuel efficiency and performance of our high-efficiency heating equipment."

IBT: Does your company export its products or services? If so, could you share insights into the international markets you serve and the key drivers of your success?

Jayesh Patel:

"Yes, we have successfully exported our machines to several Gulf countries, including Oman and Dubai, where we have installed our systems. Additionally, we have made significant inroads into the African market. In Kenya alone, we have installed over 25 to 30 units. We also have installations in Nigeria, Malawi, and Tanzania. Currently, we are preparing to dispatch a thermal fluid system with an impressive capacity of 8 million kilocalories, which is a large-scale installation. This system is expected to be shipped within the next week."

"In Nigeria, we are in the process of installing four machines, while we recently completed the installation of two machines in Uganda. In fact, Uganda alone has seen more than 10 to 15 installations of our equipment. Our presence in Africa continues to grow, with installations across many countries in the region."

"Furthermore, we have expanded our reach to the Middle East and North Africa. In addition to the Gulf countries, we have successfully installed machines in the Maldives and Tunisia, where we installed one unit. This broad network of installations across various regions reflects the strong demand and reliability of our products in the export market. We are proud of our growing global footprint and continue to serve clients across diverse regions with high-quality, efficient heating solutions."

IBT: Within India, which industries or regions constitute your primary customer base? How has the demand for heating solutions evolved in recent years, and what trends do you foresee?

Jayesh Patel:

"In India, we serve a wide range of industries, starting with the food sector. We have established a strong customer base in the food industry, including both manufacturers and end-users. Recently, we supplied a unit to ITC, further strengthening our presence in this sector. In addition to the food industry, we have made significant inroads into the plywood and laminate sectors. One of our major clients in the laminate industry is Royal Touche Laminate, where we supplied a 10 million kilocalorie thermic fluid heater—an extremely high-capacity system. In the plywood industry, we have installed over 100 units in plywood processing plants."

"Our reach extends to asphalt road manufacturing as well. For example, we regularly supply high-quality machines to Amman, a Switzerland-based company in India. We also supply to Marini India, an Italian multinational in the asphalt processing plant sector. Altogether, we have completed over 500 thermic fluid heater installations in the road industry."

"We also serve the rubber, pharmaceutical, and packaging industries, with numerous installations across these sectors. In the textile industry, we have over 100 installations in textile processing units. On average, we supply more than 25 thermic fluid heaters per month across these diverse industries, demonstrating the widespread demand for our products in various sectors."

IBT: What are your expectations from IndusFood Manufacturing 2025? How do you see this platform contributing to your company’s growth and visibility within the food manufacturing ecosystem?

Jayesh Patel:

"Yes, through this food industry exhibition, we aim to target chip line manufacturing companies across different countries. For example, in the Netherlands, there are several companies we are focusing on as well as many other European companies. We are excited about the opportunity to meet these potential clients at the event. At Indusfood we will be able to connect with them, as they will also be participating as exhibitors. Our goal is to maximize our reach in the export market and explore new business opportunities through this exhibition."
