Drying, roasting and more

March 26, 2003

Torbed Services introduced the TORBED processor for drying, roasting, toasting, puffing and heating food. The unit uses high velocity hot air to cook food products instead of the traditional deep fat frying method. Suitable for manufacturers of low fat snack food, the TORBED processor method is much like that used to make hot air poppers. The food product “floats” as it is being cooked, resulting in more even cooking and reducing the potential for burning.

According to the manufacturer, the normal fat content in snacks can be as high as 35 percent; TORBED technology allows it to be reduced to two to seven percent.

The lingering effects of the pandemic on food processors were felt throughout 2021, with labor issues, increased automation, ingredient shortages, the need for additional energy efficiencies and technologies to help streamline operations, and more, all having an impact.

Food and beverage companies consistently develop new products, but current speed-to-market expectations have made efficiency a crucial factor in putting those new products into the hands of customers ahead of the competition.
