WAVEX industrial microwave tunnel | MIT SRL

WAVEX

Configurable tunnels with combined microwave technology for continuous processes.

WAVEX is a line of industrial tunnels for in-line systems that combine microwave technology with air and/or infrared. The tunnels are configurable in the required dimensions (e.g. length and width) and in the integrated thermal technology.

They are equipped with digitalisation, interconnection, automation and eventually robotisation devices.

They guarantee maximum safety of use and ergonomics.

They are designed to drastically reduce maintenance times and optimize production processes to the maximum.

Applications

Drying of organic materials and aggregates
Heating treatments on products on reels or in continuous production
Gluing of polymer or paper
Polymerization of resins deposited on wood, glass, plastic or metal, polymerization of glues

Adaptable to the specific processing requirements of the customer

WAVEX tunnels implement continuously adjustable microwave technology. Microwaves can be combined with convection or infrared radiation heating. The microwave application system is adapted to the width of the conveyor belt and can therefore be based on power supply systems or slot waveguide systems. Generally speaking, the microwave setup is designed to be maintained even by non-specialized operators.

Magnetic field attenuation systems and safety equipment:

The oven is equipped with special attenuation stages of the input and output electromagnetic field.

The EWA attenuation system is patented and does not require maintenance, as it does not use liquid systems.

The tunnels, which can be completely opened for maintenance, are set up with all the safety systems necessary to contain the electromagnetic field.

Thanks to the EWA systems and shielding, the tunnels operate continuously at emission levels well below those permitted by law, allowing the machinery to fall into category 0.

WAVEX tunnels are equipped with lifting systems that allow the machinery to be opened for complete access to the work area. Thanks to this equipment, maintenance is carried out in total safety, in a very short time and without dismantling operations.

The conveyor belt is customized to be suitable for the type of process required and the technology used.

Thanks to our in-depth experience and numerous studies, we can offer solutions that include a wide range of belts compatible with microwave use. We select the best conveyor belts made with the latest generation raw materials, of high quality and durability.
