With the opening of the REVworx facility, the company says it hopes to assist growers to salvage and process imperfect produce and reduce overall food waste.
VANCOUVER — EnWave Corporation says its vacuum-microwave toll drying facility, REVworx™, has completed the Safe Quality Food certification process.
With SFQ certification, the company says it can offer its toll drying services to food producing partners around the globe. EnWave explained that the certification process incorporated training, line trial production, testing, inspection and process development.
REVworx offers on-demand contract manufacturing services for the production of vacuum-microwave dried snack and ingredient applications for food companies of all sizes.
With this certification, REVworx is also prepared to offer contract REV drying services to a broader market.
REVworx says it plans to help companies bring vacuum-microwave dried products to market as well as reduce risk by lowering the upfront capital investment and increasing speed to market.
Located at EnWave’s head office in Vancouver, Canada, the REVworx facility is equipped with a 60kW tray-based REV machine, a 10kW REV unit for smaller batch production, a commercial scale air dryer for pre-processing, preparation equipment such as cutters, corers, and slicers for fruits and vegetables, a batch mixer, a fryer and seasoning station, and a bulk packaging area for shipment preparation.
With the opening of the REVworx facility, the company says it hopes to assist growers to salvage and process imperfect produce and reduce overall food waste. Lower grade produce can be processed and purposed into consumable food products, such as powders, fragments, and pieces for sale with EnWave’s R&D team of dehydration experts.
