Development of applicators/ovens for heating materials
The two main problems in energy-intensive industries are the high cost of energy and increasingly restrictive environmental regulations. Many industrial processes require the heating of materials. This heating has been done in conventional ovens, where heat is transferred through conduction, radiation and convection.
Our research institute offers the advanced service of designing and developing microwave applicators and ovens for efficient material heating. We leverage the advantages of microwave energy to provide superior heating solutions that significantly reduce processing times and costs, consuming up to 70% less energy than traditional heating methods.
Our microwave applicators and ovens offer precise, uniform, and rapid heating capabilities, providing enhanced control over the heating process. We develop tailored solutions that fit your specific material heating needs, all while promoting energy efficiency and sustainability.
With our innovative microwave technology, you can achieve superior performance, save time, and significantly reduce energy costs. Our team of dedicated experts is committed to delivering practical, innovative, and energy-efficient solutions that meet and exceed your expectations.
