Advantages Drying
GTI Advantages: Drying
A cost effective alternative for drying organic and non-organic materials such as minerals, ceramics, fiberglass, paints, polymers, wood, etc.
- High power density under required processing temperatures -ideal for highly saturated materials
- Exclusive heating of water or other liquid solvents inside and/or on surfaces without significant heating of dry material
- Variable drying speeds (in area and time) during processing
- Drying of heat-sensitive materials
- Selective levels of dryness—down to molecular level
- High energy efficiency for processing materials with compatible thickness to microwave wavelength
Industrial microwave. wavelength – 12 cm (5”) Poor uniformity, hit-or miss
Gyrotron Beam. wavelength – 5 mm (0.2”) excellent penetration and uniformity
Infrared and gas heating. wavelength – 7μ (0.0003”) heats from surface can burn
