Features & Advanced Technology
The standout feature of the MIP-8 is its compliance with CE requirements. Both the generator and process ovens feature interlocking access doors to provide a safe operating environment, exceeding most applicable government standards.
The indexing microwave oven system also features an internal oscillating conveyor. Once the system is turned on, the conveyor oscillates the product inside in a back-and-forth motion. This ensures uniform microwave heating. After the cycle completes, the product moves to the exit conveyor. From there, the product is ready for next-step handling.

We also offer various system options and techniques to provide extra protection and ease of use, such as:
- Arc detection
- Light curtains (optional)
- Emergency stop buttons
- Two-button gate lowering function
- Remote troubleshooting options via Ethernet
- System software provides easy operation and control
