Food Processing:

Radio Frequency Processing in the Food Industry

Radio Frequency Drying is a simple precise process and is in common use in the food industry with proven processes available for a wide range of applications such as Post bake drying and moisture control.

• Preheating of dough and cake mixes.

• Rapid heating of tube fed products for both pre-cook and pasteurization/sterilization requirements.

Process Advantages

• Reduces Checking - uneven stresses in the product are eliminated as a result of evening the product moisture profile
• Product Colour Control - in the RF process, allows colour and moisture control to be separated
• Energy Savings - unlike conventional equipment the efficiency of the high frequency oven is only marginally reduced at low moisture levels
• Avoids Pollution - there are no bi-products of combustion
• Increased Production - throughput of a typical oven line can be increased by as much as 50% on certain products without an increase in overall plant length.
• Floor Space Savings - efficient heat transfer results in faster product transfer and reduced oven length
• Rapid and Even Heating - of doughs
• Improves Efficiency - of conventional baking lines
• Automatically Compensates - for variations in product moisture
• Automatically profiles for uniform moisture content
• Eliminates Centre Bone - increases shelf life
