Microwave Vacuum Drying for advanced Process Technology. Rapid and gentle Vacuum Drying for thermo sensitive products with low thermal conductivity.
Heat-drying has become important in almost all areas of industrial processing. Apart from the popular conventional procedures based on conduction, convection, or infrared radiation, heat-drying utilizing microwave energy is an attractive solution to many problems in process technology. In microwave drying, heat is generated by directly transforming the electromagnetic energy into kinetic molecular energy, thus the heat is generated deep within the material to be dried. Especially in vacuum drying the fact of volume heating gives an enormous importance in order to dry bulk and viscous products with low thermal conductivity.
Microwave drying has a big advantages compared with conventional drying, because in microwave drying, heat is generated by directly transforming the electromagnetic energy into kinetic molecular energy, thus the heat is generated deep within the material to be dried.
Especially in microwave vacuum drying this advantages has a big significance for viscous and bulk products with poor thermal conductivity.
The described microwave vacuum technology is used for high-end drying applications of thermo sensitive products in order to achieve higher product qualities and shorter drying times.
