Liquid Heating Microwave Systems: Benefits & Advantages
The specific benefits and advantages for liquid heating with microwave technology is best achieved with heat or shear sensitive, high-viscosity, and multi-phase fluids. The system heats product as it is pumped through a microwave-transparent heating tube. This tube is located at the center of the heating chamber (applicator).
Each of our unique, liquid unit microwave solutions provide continuous thermal processing of pumpable materials, liquids, food products, chemicals, and other materials that require precise temperature control.
The benefits and advantages of utilizing our liquid heating units and related microwave technology includes:
- Low maintenance systems with no moving parts
- Creation of new or enhanced pumpable products
- Minimization of fouling deposits and degradation
- Reduction of equipment footprint and floor space
- Improvements to product cost-effectiveness and quality
- Non-intrusive process: easy to control, clean in place, and inspect
- Superior products with minimal color change and better nutrient retention
- Increasing production run times: faster product heating and shorter residence times
