Homogeneous, precise and reproducible microwave heating
The commercialization of microwave processes has previously offered few opportunities to influence heating processes in a manner that allows for precise temperature distribution and reproducible results. With the utilization of precise and rapidly controllable semiconductor generators, it is now feasible to optimize the heating process in a targeted manner, all without the need for mechanically moving components or intricate applicator modifications. The TruHeat MW Series enables highly efficient power coupling to the precise resonance frequency of the applicator, resulting in a significant enhancement of coupled power. For the first time, complex heating processes of materials such as different ceramics, plastics or glass can be realized with extremely low dielectric losses.
The circulators integrated as standard mean that the generators can be operated continuously even in the event of a mismatch (total reflection).
Various field distributions or heating patterns can be combined by quickly switching the frequency in order to achieve a targeted temperature distribution.
In multi-antenna systems, various generators can be operated in a phase-synchronized and pulsed manner. Considerable field/temperature homogenisation can be achieved by varying the phase references between the individual generators.
The pulsability of the generator allows you to control the plasma with extreme precision in the nanosecond range, so that the plasma temperature can be optimally set and non-thermal plasma can be generated.
The EtherCat digital interface allows you to control the device very quickly within a millisecond. This enables precise heating and extremely accurate processing results.
Existing and/or decommissioned systems can be easily retrofitted and recommissioned with significant technical innovations. A one-off investment can also increase profitability, as the system then runs without interruption.
The generators in the TruHeat MW Series achieve approximately twenty times more operational hours compared to conventional magnetrons.
