Need higher power without buying the generator first?
AMT has industrial microwave generators available for development and pilot-scale projects from 1–100 kW at 2.45 GHz, 915 MHz and 922 MHz.
Is microwave right for your process?
Microwave can offer a real advantage where rapid, volumetric or selective heating solves a process problem, improves throughput or enables behaviour that is difficult with conventional heating.
Worth Investigating When:
Heat transfer is limiting the process
Selective heating could be useful
Rapid response matters
Conventional heating struggles with the material or geometry
A reaction or transformation may benefit from microwave heating
May Be Less Suitable When:
The material couples poorly
Conventional heating already works efficiently
Geometry makes field control difficult
The likely benefit may not justify the cost of scale-up
The first step is understanding the material, the process and what you are trying to improve.
INDUSTRIAL MICROWAVE SPECIALISTS
IN WOLLONGONG, AUSTRALIA
AMT grew out of an industrial microwave research team established at the University of Wollongong in 1987. Today, our Wollongong-based team combines microwave process development with electrical and control engineering, materials expertise and practical fabrication to take industrial microwave ideas from testing through to real systems.
