Problem
Traditional snack manufacturing relies on added sugars, dates, and other binders to hold ingredients together, which can negatively impact nutritional profiles and increase processing energy consumption. These methods often result in snacks with lower nutritional value and a larger carbon footprint due to the energy required for processing added ingredients.

Torr FoodTech offers a novel approach to snack production using its proprietary iWeld™ technology, which employs a combination of mechanical pressure and ultrasonic energy to bind snack ingredients. This innovative method eliminates the need for added sugars, dates, or artificial binders, resulting in healthier snack options. The iWeld™ technology not only enhances the nutritional composition and natural texture of snacks but also significantly reduces energy consumption by approximately 70% compared to conventional snack manufacturing processes. By removing the necessity for added binders, Torr enables the creation of snacks with unmasked flavors and superior taste experiences, catering to the growing demand for nutritious and sustainable food products.
