Frank equipped a facility operated by Partners in Health (PIH) which creates RUTF to treat malnourished children.

A white roasting table is specifically designed to dry peanuts from the proper storage moisture to between 4.5% to 5% moisture at a low temperature in preparation for blanching. It uses a 1-horsepower motor and either propane, butane or natural gas and can process up to 300 pounds of peanuts per batch. After the nuts reach the proper moisture, the burner is turned off and the nuts cool in place. The machine operator then can use a handle to tilt the pan and allow the nuts to flow by gravity into a container.
