EnWave Corporation (TSX-V:ENW | FSE:E4U) (“EnWave”, or the “Company”), today announced signing a royalty-bearing commercial license (the “License”) with KL Ballantyne Pty Ltd (“Ballantyne”), a leading Australian dairy company.  The License grants Ballantyne the exclusive right to produce dairy products in Australia using the Company’s patented Radiant Energy Vacuum (“REV™”) technology, excluding direct-to-consumer cheese snack products.

This License is the third royalty-bearing license signed with an Australian company, the fifteenth such license signed for dairy product processing worldwide and further proves the value proposition of REV™ technology as a tool to create innovative, premium food applications in the dairy industry.

In addition to the License, Ballantyne signed an equipment purchase agreement to acquire a 10kW REV™ machine to initiate commercial production. Ballantyne has agreed to pay an undisclosed royalty tied to the commercial success of REV™-dried products that they commercialize.

Pursuant to the License, Ballantyne has additional, undisclosed REV™ machine purchase order requirements that must be met in order to maintain their exclusivity in the future.

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.
