RF-Energy
Radio Frequency (RF) energy applications use controlled electromagnetic radiation for heating processes for processing food and materials. Today, magnetron tubes commonly generate this energy but tomorrow, it will be generated by a solid-state semiconductor which offers among others higher reliability, controllability and overall process efficiency.
Typical applications are: Solid State Cooking for Professional and Commercial use, Industrial Heating, Plasma Lighting, RF Ignition and Defrosting.
