2450MHz Industrial Microwave Systems by IMS are laboratory units for microwave processing of various industrial formulations and materials. Our solutions include benchtop and in-line microwave systems for both solids and fluids. For fluids, 2450MHz systems are recommended for low-volume, high-value applications. Recent endeavors include: sterilization of biopharmaceutical solutions and development of new food ingredients. Flavor houses and pharmaceutical companies successfully heat and sterilize their products with IMS technology.
For solids, continuous or sheet products, as well as loose or granular products, 2450MHz industrial microwave systems are available. One case study includes a major US manufacturer of paper products. This client needed equipment that would quickly and uniformly dry a coating applied to its paper product. After several in-house product trials, this client purchased two IMS high-speed dryers for commercial production of the special paper. In comparison to other drying technology, this would have been virtually impossible to accomplish.

2450MHz Systems for Industrial Processing
Industrial Microwave Systems (IMS) has various styles of applicators we use, depending on the product, application, production goals, and intended throughput.
High Moisture Applicator
The high moisture applicator is an oversized waveguide structure with variable attenuation capabilities. The orientation of the electric field is perpendicular to the material, as it is conveyed to through the applicator. This reduces the rate of power absorption across the product.
Ridged Waveguide Applicator
The ridged waveguide applicator design is a series of specially designed waveguides. In this design, waveguides arrange in a serpentine fashion. The orientation of the electric field is parallel to the the direction of the product as it is conveyed through the applicator. This results in higher absorption.
