Strayfield RF Experience Centre
Industrial Radio Frequency Drying, Heating, and Defrosting Trials. Tested, Proven, Optimised
What is the RF Experience Centre?
Innovation becomes powerful when it is experienced.
The Strayfield RF Experience Centre is a dedicated facility for industrial Radio Frequency drying, Radio Frequency heating and Radio Frequnecy defrosting trials, designed to bring Radio Frequency technology to life through real-world testing and validation.
It is not just a demonstration space. It is where industrial drying processes are tested, optimised and validated, enabling manufacturers to make confident, data-driven decisions.
Built on 50+ Years of RF Drying, Heating and Defrosting Expertise
As pioneers in Radio Frequency drying and RF heating, drying and deforsting systems, Strayfield brings over 50 years of experience across textile, food and industrial applications.
The RF Experience Centre extends this legacy by enabling:
- RF drying trials for industrial applications
- Process validation before machine investment
- Optimisation of energy-efficient drying systems
This ensures every solution is backed by proven results in real production conditions, not assumptions.
