Microwave and Radio Frequency technologies are suited to improve thermal processes such as tempering as defrosting, sanitizing, cooking, heating, pasteurization, drying. These two technologies are complementary, and they both have their advantages depending on the products to be treated. We advise you which technology is most suitable for your product or process, as we master both technologies.
Microwave Tempering
Microwave and Radio frequency are heating technologies based on the dissipation of electromagnetic energy within the targeted product. The heating process is generated by the quick polarity reversal of the electromagnetic field which creates vibration and rotation of the polarized molecules inside the material. This is made possible thanks to the dielectric loss properties of materials. This phenomenon is induced by the quick polarity reversal of the electromagnetic field (a million times per second). As water molecules are highly polarized, Microwave and Radio frequency technologies are very effective at heating up wet materials. Heat generation is almost instantaneous and allows for a perfectly controlled process thanks to rapid, uniform heating. Moreover, almost all the energy is transferred to the treated product, drastically reducing energy losses.
Microwave and Radio frequency can be used in all food industries, which are processing frozen products in Agriculture and food sector. Depending on the requirements the Microwave or Radio frequency can be used for butcheries, butchers, bakeries, dairies and other companies. Products like meat, fruit, seafood, vegetables, fish or butter can be quickly and efficiently tempered while maintaining the organoleptic properties.
Your advantages at a glance
- Fast tempering of frozen products
- Totally respect the organoleptic properties of fruits and vegetables
- Very homogeneous final temperature
- No drip loss, no hotspots, quick payback
- Suitable for different packaging: bag, cardboard, plastic film, crate or in bulk
- Modular equipment to increase your capacity in the future
Tempering & Thermal Treatment at PHT
Microwave and Radio frequency can be very useful in tempering different kinds of food. For the best solution for your product PHT is your right partner in advancing, planning and realization. Together with you we will find the perfect system for Microwave and Radio frequency to temper your food quickly and safe.
TMW35 Microwave Tempering Tunnel
The TMW35 allows deep frozen foods to be tempered or defrosted (butter) quickly. It is adapted for products like meat, poultry, fish, fruits, vegetables, cheese, butter, etc…
The distinctive feature of the TMW 35 tunnel is the use of the microwave technology to achieve the best tempering homogeneity while maintaining a good microwave efficiency.
The very low floor space, the length under microwaves (residence time) and the crossed coupling of microwaves above and below the blocks, are a few examples of the solutions used to conciliate capacity, flexibility, efficiency and homogeneity.
Key Benefits
• Profitable: save money by avoiding drip losses
• Fast: very short time of treatment, between 5 to 15 minutes
• User friendly: easy loading / unloading, colour touch screen HMI
• Homogeneous: excellent temperature homogeneity thanks to multiple microwave inlets
• Reliable: no need for regular maintenance, except daily cleaning
• Hygienic: no bacteriological growth, complies with all hygiene regulations and standards
• Flexible: can be used for tempering packed (cardboard, plastic film …) or unpacked food
• Compact: small floor footprint
• Connected: USB and ethernet connection for remote control
