High Volume Industrial Food Processing!

The accompanying picture is of a 2-stage T4500 Torbed Food Dryer. It is of large size; 5.8 metres across and over 8 metres tall. Once it has completed its journey from the workshop to its final home early in the new year, if will be used to dry many tonnes of fragile food ingredients, accurately […]
Optimizing Resource Loops: The Strategic Role of Circular Economy Solutions Equipment

The successful transition to a regenerative circular economy (CE) relies critically on advanced technological infrastructure that can effectively close material loops. For business professionals seeking to enhance supply chain resilience and meet evolving regulatory demands, understanding and investing in specialized circular economy solutions equipment is paramount. This machinery is the physical enabler that transforms operational […]
What’s In A Second?

In 2001 we sold a TORBED T1000 food machine to a manufacturer in El Salvador. Last month, nearly a quarter of a century later, we visited the machine, which is still operating 24/7. A fractional timing adjustment (one second) to the extract mechanism resolved a series of quality problems that had arisen from product getting […]
