Drytech’s concept

Drytech have developed their concepts in close cooperation with the Norwegian Army and the defence organisations of the other Scandinavian countries. The concept is based on freeze-dried meals that after rehydration have retained their consistency, aroma and nutrient content. The meals are also extremely light in weight and can be stored for extended periods.

The meals are included in Drytech’s field rations, which are put together in order to meet the dietary and nutritional requirements of each soldier, even for longer periods. Laboratory tests of nutrient content and an increasing range of individual meals and ration menus, maintain the needs of soldiers in the field.

All meals and rations can be prepared quickly (5 minutes) without the need for anything other than warm water. In extreme cases cold water can be used, however rehydration can take up to 30 minutes.

Drytech can also assist normal kitchen requirements, for example during periods when catering personnel are unavailable or in cases of unforeseen demand. Each meal can be supplied in bulk, making it easy to prepare meals for large numbers of people. Other advantages of the products are that they can be stored for long periods and preparation does not require large numbers of kitchen personnel.
