Microwave drying makes use of excessive frequency radio waves to warmness and dry numerous materials. Microwave heating is fast, efficient, and might produce advanced pleasant effects as compared to different heating methods. Microwave drying makes up a massive percent of our microwave programs often as it works so properly and is a validated technology. Some key blessings to microwave drying consist of however aren't restrained to:

  • Microwaves penetrate deep into product bed and preferentially couple with the water molecules to help drive out internal moisture.

  • Speed: higher throughput than any almost any other type of heating due to volumetrically heating the material instead of relying on conduction from hot air.

  • Gentle, low temperature drying. Products often do not exceed 140 F (60 C) due to surface evaporative cooling effects.

  • Produces superior quality and highly consistent product.

  • Precise temperature and drying rate control.

  • Clean – typically no emissions, no permitting.

  • Efficient: little energy wasted heating air, exterior walls and belts.

  • Some commonly dried products: Food stuffs, Agricultural products, Botanicals and Herbs, Animal feeds, Ceramics, Large fiber filters, Metal Casting Molds, Algae for Biofuels, Carbon composite materials, Polymer Powders, Woven Filters and Insulation, Corn Ethanol By-Products, Aquaculture Feeds, Graphene and Lithium.
