Torftech sold its first TORBED processor for catalyst applications in 1997. Since then, the combination of strong process control and the ability to handle fine, attrition-sensitive powders has made the technology a natural fit for
A visit to a site using a shaft Furnace to create vermiculite, with the consequent waste of material and energy started a thought process. There had to be a more efficient way! And thus the TORBED processor was born. Designed to minimise resource use by ...
Torrefaction is a mild thermal treatment that heats biomass in a low-oxygen environment to improve its properties as a renewable solid fuel or process feedstock. Untreated biomass often has high moisture content, low energy density, variable composition, and poor handling characteristics. It can absorb water, ...
Don’t just take it from us; here is a testimonial from a customer who has been working with our technology to regenerate catalysts since 1997. “The process offers excellent heat transfer and temperature control…………” Nearly thirty years of reliable service. The heat transfer ensures a ...
Pictured is a newly updated design of our electrically heated T1000 Torbed food processor. This machine has been a workhorse of our fleet for many years. Applications they have used for include include: (i) air popping (frying) of snacks and cereals.(ii) pasteurisation of herbs and ...
Developed in response to the first major oil crisis of the 1970s, Torftech’s technology was created to reduce the energy demands of high-temperature thermal mineral processing. Today, after four decades in which the imperative for industrial energy efficiency was too often neglected, our technology is ...
Our Torftech technology is comprised of a family of highly efficient gas-solid contacting reactors. They have been used in the manufacture and regeneration of catalysts for more than a quarter of a century. The addition of microwave processing to our repertoire extends catalyst processing possibilities ...
Our TORBED and TORWAVE technology can enable all sorts of unique processes and generate exciting new products.
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. Often our processors offer an alternative to less resource-efficient conventional technologies. Find out about some of the processes for which our technology has been used and see if we could assist you.
