Advanced Thermal Processing Equipment

In the early days of the TORBED technology, mineral and food applications advanced in parallel.  This is proving true of our microwave equipped TOWAVE processor as well.  We recently sold one for a mineral drying application.  Much of our early test work has been on foodstuffs including coffee, malt and cocoa. Malt (mostly from barley) was […]

Order for an Industrial Microwave Processing System

In the run up to our year end in February, we took an order for a TORWAVE dryer for a mineral application that perfectly illustrates the abilities of the TORWAVE industrial microwave processing system with combined conventional (convection) and microwave heat sources. The TORWAVE can dry particulates more efficiently, saving energy. Water in the centre […]

Extending Industrial Microwave Processing Possibilities

The TORWAVE system is a scalable microwave processing technology with potential applications across multiple industries. By increasing the reactor size and shifting to a higher frequency ISM band, it can support commercial-scale operations, such as a 100kW system with a 1000mm reactor capable of processing over 1 tonne per hour. With optimized components and materials, […]

Why the TORWAVE?

The use of microwave technology has transformed both domestic kitchens and industrial manufacturing processes. Beyond cooking and reheating food, industrial applications of microwaves include the production of food ingredients, sterilization, vulcanization of rubber, and pharmaceutical processing. Despite its many advantages—such as rapid heating, selective and uniform heating, and the potential for sustainable energy use—industrial microwave […]
