Radyne is the authorized Sales and Service agent for Strayfield for the North American Food Processing Industry.
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
