RF Drying Equipment Repair, Maintenance & Upgrades
Equipment Repair Services
PRF Solutions provides prompt, efficient repair services for RF drying systems. We
specialise in six OEM brands—Strayfield, Fastran, Elgotec, and RF Biocidics—and have
extensive experience with Stalam and RFS equipment.
Our engineers conduct rapid diagnostics, source OEM-standard parts from our warehouse
stock, and execute repairs with minimal downtime. Many repairs are resolved within 48
hours of arrival.
Preventative Maintenance Programs
PRF Solutions works with your engineering team to develop customised PM programs tailored
to your equipment, production schedule, and risk tolerance.
Proactive maintenance extends equipment lifespan, reduces emergency breakdowns, maintains
energy efficiency, and ensures consistent product quality. Your team receives tailored
on-site training in RF theory, machine operation, and
fault-finding.
Equipment Upgrades & Modernisation
Legacy systems don’t have to be replaced—they can be upgraded. PRF Solutions offers
engineering solutions to enhance capacity, improve energy efficiency, and future-proof
your operations.
Upgraded systems often deliver 20-30% energy savings, increased throughput, and extended
operational lifespan—delaying capital replacement by 5-10 years. Contact us with your
equipment model for a feasibility assessment.
Why RF Drying Equipment Matters
Radio Frequency drying operates differently than conventional hot-air systems. Instead of transferring heat slowly from outside, RF technology generates heat directly inside the product—making the process faster, more efficient, and gentler on delicate materials.
Four Key Advantages:
Energy Efficiency – RF systems require 30-50% less energy than hot-air alternatives. The generator heats only the moisture, not the entire chamber. This translates to lower operating costs and reduced carbon footprint.
Speed – Processing time drops from hours to minutes. Textile dyers dry yarn packages in 5-10 minutes. Bakers reduce post-bake drying from 30 minutes to under 5. Faster throughput means higher output.
Uniform Moisture Control – RF technology penetrates uniformly, ensuring consistent residual moisture—critical for yarn tensile strength, fabric hand-feel, and food shelf-life.
Product Quality – Gentle, controlled heating eliminates surface browning, yellowing, and chemical migration. No heat damage.
Industries We Serve
Food Industry
RF drying is the gold standard for post-baking moisture reduction in industrial bakeries. After biscuits, crackers, and crispbread leave the oven, moisture accounts for 60% of drying energy. Our technology solves this: reducing moisture content in minutes rather than hours—cutting energy costs and extending shelf-life.
Our clients range from multinational companies with annual revenues around $8 billion to family-owned bakeries with nearly 200 years of tradition. All rely on PRF to keep their systems running efficiently.
Textile Industry
Textile dyers face a persistent challenge: drying dyed yarn and fabrics without damaging delicate materials. Hot-air dryers cause yarn entanglement and uneven results. Our RF technology eliminates these issues.
Hanks dry perfectly without air movement. Yarn packages achieve consistent moisture distribution—boosting carding and spinning efficiency by up to 2%. Our clients include manufacturers of world-renowned cashmere products and synthetic fibre suppliers.
Paper Converting Industry
Paper converters depend on fast, precise drying to maintain product consistency. Our technology handles this: controlling moisture in packaging and specialty substrates with accuracy conventional systems cannot match. Lower drying times reduce production bottlenecks.
PRF Solutions supports converters across the UK and Europe, ensuring their systems perform at peak efficiency.
40+ years experience
PRF Solutions is the UK’s trusted specialist in RF equipment repair, maintenance, and
upgrades. Since 1984, our engineers have been designing, assembling, testing, and
