EnWave Corporation (TSX-V:ENW | FSE:E4U) (“EnWave”, or the “Company”) announced today that it has signed a Technology Evaluation and License Option Agreement (“TELOA”) with Wyckoff Farms Inc. (“Wyckoff Farms”) to trial the use of a 10kW Radiant Energy Vacuum (“REV™”) dehydration machine for the drying of premium hop products.  The 10kW REV™ machinery will be installed at Wyckoff Farms’ facility located in Grandview, Washington, USA. During the term of the TELOA, Wyckoff Farms will hold an exclusive option to license EnWave’s technology for the drying of hop products in the United States of America.

Wyckoff Farms is the parent company of MicroDried®, one of EnWave’s longest standing licensed partners of REV™ drying technology. Since 2012, MicroDried® has used REV™ drying to create 100% all-natural, high quality dried fruit and vegetables that are rich in nutritional values and health benefits.

Over the past decade, Wyckoff Farms has solidified its commitment to REV™ technology by scaling up to three large-scale REV™ machines, all operating at MicroDried’s processing facility in Nampa, Idaho.
