Infrared Heating System Vs Microwave heating System

Radiation in the Electromagnetic Spectrum is often classified based on the wavelength (spatial period of the wave). Short wavelength radiation comprises of highest energy and which can be very harmful such as Gamma, X-rays and ultraviolet are some examples. Longer wavelength radiation carries lower energy and is typically harmless some examples include RF, Microwaves and infrared, hence these radiations find multiples application such as Communication, Heating, Data transmission and many more.
Infrared (IR) is invisible radiant energy, electromagnetic radiation with longer wavelengths than those of visible light, extending from the nominal red edge of the visible spectrum at 700 nanometers (frequency 430 THz) to 1 mm (300 GHz), where as Microwaves are a form of electromagnetic radiation with wavelengths ranging from as long as one meter to as short as one millimeter, or equivalently, with frequencies between 300 MHz (0.3 GHz) and 300 GHz. Microwave are having larger wavelength as compare to Infrared radiation.
In Infrared heating system the infrared radiated waves are absorbed water molecules and this absorption results in the heating of the material under the process. On other hand in Microwave heating, microwave radiated waves collides with the water molecules and results in the vibration of these molecules hence this travel of molecules produces heat.
Infrared heater heats the material under process from the outer surface to inner surface, as waves are absorbed by the material, whereas microwave heats the substance from inner to outer surface of material due to movement of molecules. Hence Infrared heaters are ideal replacement to the conventional hot air generators.
IR heating can be produced using either gas fired or electric powered infrared tubes. Microwave heating normally uses electricity to activate the magnetron for production of microwave radiations.
In Microwave heating system heating of material depends upon the presence of water molecules within the material, in Infrared heating system heating of material completely depends on the absorption characteristic of material.
 Microwave heaters are faster process of heating as compared Infrared (IR) heaters depending on the material characteristic.
Heating/drying process that uses Microwave heater is highly controllable as compared to those has Infrared heaters. Cooling time of microwave is lesser as compared to Infrared heaters.

At KERONE, we manufacture both the type of heaters and help clients to choose the best heater/dryer based on the process need, incase of any information and query please contact us at info@kerone.com.

Different Types of Sterilization Process

  Sterilization can be accomplished by an amalgamation of heat, chemicals, irradiation, high pressure and filtration such as steam under pressure, dry heat, ultraviolet radiation, gas vapour sterilants, chlorine dioxide gas etc. Successful sterilization strategies are necessary for working in a lab and negligence of this could lead to severe consequences, it could unexpectedly cost a life. So what are the more frequently utilized methods of sterilization in the laboratory, and how do they work? The Sterilization is conveyed out by the methods according to requirement. The methods are: 1. Moist Heat Sterilization 2. Dry Heat Sterilization 3. Gas Sterilization and Others. Moist Heat Sterilization:  Moderate pressure is utilized in steam sterilization. Steam is utilized under pressure as a means of accomplishing an elevated temperature. It is dominant to confirm the accurate quality of steam is utilized in order to keep away the problems which follow, superheating of the steam, f...

Importance and applications of Industrial Minerals

  Industrial resources (minerals) are geological materials that are mined for their industrial worth, that are not fuel (fuel minerals or mineral fuels) and aren’t sources of metals (metallic minerals) but are utilized in the industries based on their physical and/or chemical properties. they’re utilized in their natural state or after beneficiation either as raw materials or as additives in a very wide range of applications. Industrial minerals could also be defined as minerals mined and processed (either from natural sources or synthetically processed) for the value of their non-metallurgical properties, that provides for their use in a particularly wide range of industrial and domestic applications.  As a general rule, they’ll also be defined as being non-metallic, non-fuel minerals. Obvious examples of naturally occurring  industrial minerals  include: clays sand talc limestone gypsum pumice potash Other examples of  natural industrial minerals  include...

Artificial Intelligence (A.I) in Food Industry

  When discussing about the food industry, technology isn’t generally the first thought that comes to mind. But these days, technology in the food industry is a required part of   food production   and delivery processes. We find food through applications, and manufacturers produce it with the help of robotics and data processing. Tech could remarkably enhance packaging, increasing shelf life and food safety. The eminence of food is also improving while manufacturing costs are less. Knowing what better to produce in huge amount of numbers is the key to increase revenue. Customer and market insistence are changing very fast, so it is even more important to be one-step ahead of the competition. Explaining the most habitual tastes and preferences is the most praised thing for a food business owner as well as for a food manufacturer. For example, the newest trends in food tech are attached to a stream of healthy lifestyle followers. In order to recognize them,  Machine L...
