EnWave Receives Purchase Order for Large-Scale 100kW nutraREV® Processing Line from Fresh Business Peru
DECEMBER 31, 2019, 6:30 AM
EnWave Corporation (TSX-V:ENW | FSE:E4U) (“EnWave”, or the “Company”), reports today that it has signed an Equipment Purchase Agreement (the “Agreement”) for the delivery of a 100kW nutraREV® processing line to Consulting FB Tech and Apps S.L. (“Fresh Business”) in Peru. The Agreement marks the scale-up of Fresh Business’ commercial operations in Peru, where it sources premium, highly nutritious fruit and vegetable products to be dried using EnWave’s Radiant Energy Vacuum (“REVTM”) technology for export to international markets.
EnWave and Fresh Business signed a royalty-bearing commercial license agreement (the “License”) in April 2019, whereby EnWave granted Fresh Business the exclusive rights to produce a variety of premium dried food products using REV™ technology in Peru. Fresh Business purchased a 10kW REVTM machine upon signing the License. With the addition of a 100kW nutraREV® machine, Fresh Business will substantially increase its royalty-bearing production capacity.
Fresh Business is poised to take advantage of the diverse, locally grown agricultural products of Peru while utilizing EnWave’s proprietary REV™ technology to create value-added commercial applications for export internationally. REV™ technology is a low-temperature, fast method of removing water from organic materials in a homogeneous manner. It is a proven method to create healthy, premium fruit and vegetable products that can be sold as ingredients or as retail consumer products. Installation and commissioning of the 100kW nutraREV® processing line is targeted for the summer of 2020.

About EnWave
EnWave Corporation, a Vancouver-based advanced technology company, has developed Radiant Energy Vacuum (“REV™”) – an innovative, proprietary method for the precise dehydration of organic materials. REV™ technology’s commercial viability has been demonstrated and is growing rapidly across several market verticals in the food, legal cannabis and pharmaceutical sectors. EnWave’s strategy is to sign royalty-bearing commercial licenses with industry leaders in multiple verticals for the use of REV™ technology. The company has signed over twenty royalty-bearing licenses to date, opening up eight distinct market sectors for commercialization of new and innovative products. In addition to these licenses, EnWave has formed a Limited Liability Partnership, NutraDried LLP, to develop, manufacture, market and sell all-natural cheese snack products in the United States under the Moon Cheese® brand.
EnWave has introduced REV™ as the new dehydration standard in the food and biological material sectors: faster and cheaper than freeze drying, with better end product quality than air drying or spray drying. EnWave currently has three commercial REV™ platforms:
1. nutraREV® which is used in the food industry to dry food products quickly and at low-cost, while maintaining high levels of nutrition, taste, texture and colour; and
2. quantaREV® which is used for continuous, high-volume low-temperature drying.
