Combustion: Beyond Flames, Heat and Rotary Kilns

When we think of combustion, the image of flames and red-to-white hot processes often comes to mind. However, innovative technologies like the TORBED reactors have expanded the possibilities of combustion processes, allowing for unprecedented control and precision. One remarkable application of this technology is the controlled combustion of carbon in Spent Pot Lining (SPL), a […]

Serendipity: How does a machine designed to replace rotary kilns for mineral processing come to be used for food processing?

How does a technology originally designed for mineral processing find its way into the food industry? It’s not the most obvious leap—but serendipity played a key role. One of our directors happened to hear a BBC Radio 4 segment about a snack product designed to absorb less oil during frying. Inspired, he reached out to […]

A Processing Revolution: An Alternative to Rotary Kilns, Industrial Belt Dryers and other conventional equipment

’43 years ago I was working as a mechanical engineering consultant, designer and developer of large scale heat pumps, solar buildings both domestic and commercial, and large scale heat recovery systems for low energy buildings – all initiated in response to the first oil price shock in the 1970s. I was invited to look at […]
