Microwave furnace technology can now be beneficially utilized for advanced material processing on a commercial scale. Trust Harper’s years of industry leadership for the careful design of microwave equipment based on your material’s unique properties to yield a superior product.

Benefits of Microwave Heating

Trust Harper’s expertise to optimize your furnace design. Microwave heating provides significant benefits in certain applications over conventional heating. As the material to be processed is the heating element, the response to the microwave energy input depends on the properties of the material. Harper can assist in finding the right system design to take advantage of microwave benefits, such as:

• Energy Efficiency – only the product is heated, reducing operating costs
• Rapid Processing – load heated directly
• Flexibility – ability to process in different environments
• Material Purity – product contamination can be dramatically reduced
• Increased Volumetric Utilization – avoids limitations of thermal conductivity, shadowing, convective heat transfer
• Smaller Footprint – little or no cooling or insulation required
• Control over Moisture Content – coupling with water is very effective
• Volumetric Heating – Little or no gradient from the outside to interior
