At InVerTec, we harness the power of microwave technology to overcome the limitations of conventional conduction heating. Acting as your collaborative engineering partner, we develop customized, contactless heating solutions that drastically reduce process times and overall energy consumption. From initial feasibility studies—where we tune specific material dielectric properties—to the final industrial scale-up, we engineer precise, homogeneous heating processes tailored to your exact requirements.

Technical Spotlight

  • Volumetric & Selective Material Heating: Utilizing industrial ISM frequencies (2.45 GHz), direct dielectric heating enables rapid energy transfer tailored to specific material properties. This phase-selective heating can be engineered for diverse applications—from activating targeted adhesives for complex lamination and chemical modifications, to inducing localized thermal stress for physical material separation. By coupling electromagnetic energy directly into the active material matrix rather than the surrounding environment, we optimize process efficiency and reduce overall energy demand.
  • Advanced Vacuum Drying: We engineer highly efficient microwave drying systems integrated with vacuum technology. This ensures rapid, highly controlled moisture removal, perfect for thermally sensitive materials and complex drying requirements.
  • Reactor System Heating: We provide innovative, contactless microwave integration for complex reactor environments—such as Fluidized Bed Reactors (FBR)—delivering highly efficient and uniform thermal energy directly to bulk materials and dynamic processes.
  • Advanced Safety Interlocks: Automated power controls strictly linked to vacuum presence, purge gas flows, and active vapor line monitoring to instantly prevent unwanted plasma ignition or hardware damage.
  • Homogeneous Field Control: Custom applicator designs supported by advanced electromagnetic simulations and continuous process monitoring, engineered to eliminate thermal hot spots and guarantee uniform energy distribution across the entire product volume.
