Benefit from our decades of scientific experience
Industrial applications need top performance at an attractive price because plants and systems must be operated reliably and economically without any disruption.
To protect microwave generators (magnetron or solid state power amplifiers) at the standard frequencies 915 MHz and 2450 MHz, our circulators and isolators are used in many industrial applications – especially where, in addition to process stability, maximum reliability and energy efficiency are required.
With our broad scientific knowledge, we are able to develop and manufacture particularly high-quality circulators, isolators, loads and arc detectors. Each individual part stands for:
- High system performance and efficiency thanks to low losses and high isolation
- Reliable protection of the RF source
- Increased RF source lifetime
- Continuous, trouble-free operation
- High system availability
- Long life time of the entire system
- Low operating and low maintenance costs
When our products are used industrially in the processing of organic and inorganic raw materials and technical goods such as mineral-based insulation materials, a significant amount of energy is supplied in the form of heat. The fundamental challenge in heating and drying processes, curing issues, chemical reactions or in the preparation and treatment of food is to heat a product as evenly as possible while at the same time keeping it in the oven for a short time.
Conventional processes, such as infrared radiation or heating with hot gases or liquids, can only heat the material externally. The actual heating of the volume occurs via heat conduction, a rather slow process.
Microwave heating offers an almost perfect method for quickly heating suitable goods. With their help, qualitatively and quantitatively specific dry goods can be processed that require uniform volumetric heating. This significantly increases the quality of the dry goods.
In addition to drying processes and material separation in mining, the microwave is also used to generate plasma on an industrial scale. Examples include the following:
- CVD processes for semiconductor technology and for the production of artificial diamonds
- Modern energy transformation processes, e.g. in hydrogen production.
The use of microwaves as an electrical energy source in industrial processes allows, in contrast to fossil fuels such as oil or gas, to significantly reduce the CO2 pollution in our environment – when using green electrical energy, this is even CO2-neutral!
