Olvondo Technology

Founded in 2016, Olvondo Technology is a dairy industry manufacturer based in Holmestrand, Norway selling processing equipment.

Olvondo Technology is a Norwegian company that develops and sells the HighLift, an industrial very high temperature heat pump based on a reverse Stirling cycle. The heat pump produces steam at up to 200 C from low-grade waste heat and electricity, uses helium as its working medium, and generates cooling as a by-product. The company was established in 2016; its HighLift technology was developed in Norway from Stirling cycle R&D in the mid-2000s. The units are manufactured at the facilities of Westcon, which is a joint owner in a 50/50 partnership. Typical customers are industrial users in food and beverage, aquaculture, chemicals, pharmaceuticals and other sectors with high steam demand. A dairy processor, FrieslandCampina, has installed a HighLift at its Maasdam site in the Netherlands, and Tetra Pak offers the HighLift within its Factory Sustainable Solutions portfolio.
