Microwave heating of industrial products are much more prevalent than most people are aware of. There are almost countless applications of microwaves processing material or products that we use everyday. Some examples include processing the soles of shoes, semiconductor chips, the printing on glossy paper, glass, plastic or metal, bulk food processing, vinyl flooring products, automobile head light lenses, tail lamps, and body panels. Medical devices including IV delivery systems, catheters, syringes, hearing aids and various filters. Microwave processing is so prevalent that it is difficult to go more than 30 minutes in any day without using product processed in part by a microwave process.

We specialize in small to medium sized applications. Our BP-210 and BP-211 ovens have been used in batch processing a wide range of products. They offer the largest standard cavity and highest power available making them a great choice for industrial batch processing.

In one application, 30 BP-210 ovens were used to pre-heat rubber pre-forms before they went into a press to form them into soles for athletic shoes. This was so much quicker than the conventional method that the entire 3rd shift was eliminated with no reduction in the number of shoes produced thus providing significant savings.

We also custom design and produce microwave equipment to meet demanding requirements. We designed a custom microwave system that reduced the time for an optical company to process their product. The conventional method took 8-10 hours, but we where able to reduce the time to less than 1 minute.

In an other application, we where able to complete sterilization in under 3 minutes for a 3 ¼ foot long filter. The temperature variation had to be held to less than 5 °F throughout the filter and water it was packaged in. The demand for the filter has increased well beyond the expected rate, but because of the speed of using microwave processing the manufacturer supply of the filters has easily kept up with demand.

We also produced a conveyorized microwave for the continuous cooking of bacon for a meat processor in New Zealand that met the demanding standards of one of the top three fast food restaurant companies in the world. This conveyor needed to meet bacon output requirements as well as quality requirements. The conveyor was designed for daily washouts and to operate in below freezing conditions in the freezer where the bacon is stored.
