Modification and Refurbishment of Microwave System

Initial Problem: This system was originally manufactured in 1984, with 6 kilowatts of microwave power. Many components, including the microwave generator had been stripped off the system. In the original design the main control cabinet functions were limited to air heat, blower, and fire alarm.

Purpose of Modification: To return the system to new condition and increase the microwave power capabilities from 6 kilowatts to 12 kilowatts.

MES Solution:

·    Remove waveguide, conveyor motor drive and any associated wiring.

·    Thoroughly clean inner microwave cavity and outside frame.

·    Install two newly refurbished 6 kilowatt microwave generators.

·    Install new waveguide runs between each generator and oven cavity.

·    Modify and install new controls for microwave power, conveyor, hot air, and fire alarm into main control cabinet.

·    Install new metering for microwave forward and reflected power, hot air temperature and conveyor speed into control cabinet.

·    Install new interlock and protection circuitry onto system.

·    Test system completely and insure microwave leakage is within acceptable limits

·    Warrantee system for 1 year parts and labor.

End Result:

·    Basically a new system, with readily available components designed for ease of use and maintenance at a fraction of the cost of other comparable new systems.
