VANCOUVER — EnWave Corporation announced that it has signed a research and development license and lease agreement with ELEA Technology GmbH, a pulse electric field technology company.
The RDLA grants ELEA certain rights to use EnWave’s Radiant Energy Vacuum technology in combination with its PEF technology to develop potato and vegetable snacks, with the intent to reduce or eliminate frying by pre-treating products with PEF before REV™-drying. ELEA will lease a 10kW REV™ machine for use at its German facility beginning in February 2025 for a minimum three-month term.
ELEA has placed its PEF technology at many of the largest potato manufacturers in the world. If the work completed through the RDLA yields positive results, EnWave says they anticipate quick commercialization of new, better potato and vegetable snack applications through ELEA’s existing relationships.
Elea is a provider of Pulsed Electric Field Systems (PEF) to the food, beverage & scientific sectors. Eleaporation, reportedly developed over many years, is involved in food and beverage manufacturing around the world.
