Energy-efficient drying Innovation for industrial competitiveness
CARD Advances Energy-Efficient Drying Innovation for Industrial Competitiveness. For the past eight years, the Center for Advanced Research in Drying (CARD) has established itself as a vibrant and critical research center impacting industrial drying. As a National Science Foundation (NSF) Industry University Cooperative Research Center (IUCRC), CARD is a “gateway” program designed to open up university research to member companies.
With projects focused on novel drying technologies, innovative sensor development, and smart oven technologies, CARD has the knowledge, resources, and creativity to make a significant impact on businesses worldwide.
We are pleased to share that Scott Bishop and Baskar Vairamohan, of Electric Power Research Institute, visited the CARD lab at Worcester Polytechnic Institute on February 4, 2025 to explore the new drying technologies being developed within CARD.
CARD is always happy to share its facilities with those who are interested in the groundbreaking work that we are doing.

“We value working with CARD because they are developing novel drying and sensor technologies that can help us build better equipment. This in turn helps our customers develop high quality food products that can be reliably made with the most efficient techniques. The advancements from CARD push the industry forward towards energy efficiency and precision.”
