TORFTECH PROCESSORS: Circular Economy Solutions Equipment and part of a platform

TORBED isn’t just an advanced reactor—it’s a technology platform engineered to close resource loops, maximize value from waste, and support sustainable, low-carbon industrial systems across multiple sectors. Key Circular Economy Applications 1. Valorising Paper Sludge into Cement-Grade Lime A demonstration plant in France uses TORBED ...

The Menu: From High Volume Industrial Food Processing to Thermal Mineral Processing

A few weeks ago, we wrote about the range of processes possible with a TORBED processor. Reviewing this prompted us to take stock of the current “menu”. High volume industrial Food Processing applications include: Popping of snacks Roasting of coffee Drying of potato granules Drying ...

Thermal Mineral Processing: An Unusual Angle

The processes of installation and commissioning often provide interesting and unusual views of our equipment. On our Torbed news page this week is a picture of the inside of a burner chamber. Normally used for thermal mineral processing at in excess of 1000ºC, this is ...

High Volume Industrial Food Processing: Nearing A Century.

We recently sold a small TORBED processor for an experimental application. We look forward to the results and perhaps another door opening. This sale took the number of TORBED processors sold for food applications to 98. We are also looking forward to achieving a first ...

Thermal Biomass Processing: Torrefaction using a TORBED processor.

We are pleased to announce that we have taken an order for a front-end engineering package for a Torrefaction plant fuelled by waste wood biomass. Torrefaction is a form of thermal biomass processing that involves drying and partial devolatilization of the biomass. It results in ...

From High Volume Industrial Food Processing to Thermal Biomass Processing: Gas-Solid contacting across the spectrum.

We have written recently about a range of sectors/applications of our TORBED Processors. To summarize this, here is a list of our current thinking as to sectors and applications for our technology: High Volume Industrial Food Processing: pasteurising, cooking, blanching, drying, roasting, toasting, puffing, expansion, ...

TORFTECH

Delivering revolutionary and novel systems around the globe.

Our TORBED and TORWAVE technology can enable all sorts of unique processes and generate exciting new products. 

We can change the way you process

Our processors have capabilities in a range of gas-solid contacting processes from high temperature flash calcination to low temperature drying across a diverse range of industries.
