Solid-State RF Benefits
Cutting-edge Solid-state RF Technology
Solid-state RF power generation is an exceptionally energy efficient solution for high-power applications. It’s ideal for situations where speed, product consistency, and low operating costs are key competitive advantages. Solid-state RF is more reliable, flexible, and efficient than other alternatives.
The Benefits of Solid-State RF Technology
Reduces Costs
Reduces Greenhouse Emissions
Improves Product Quality
Speeds Up Process
Reduces Costs
Investing in our solid-state RF power generators can:
- Cut energy costs by up to 50% thanks to the unparalleled energy efficiency
- Reduce costs further over time as governments impose carbon taxes on fuel-based energy sources or require emitters to participate in cap and trade markets
- Save on maintenance costs and minimize downtime because there are no user serviceable or replaceable parts and the generators can last for more than 20 years
- Eliminate the need for on-site technical support due to IP-based controls
Reduces Greenhouse Emissions
Solid-state RF heating and drying:
- Involves no direct CO2 emissions unlike combustion heat sources (natural gas, oil, coal or other combustibles)
- Draws only clean electricity from the power grid
- Reduces capital and operating costs, including administration related to local emissions regulations, because there is no flue-gas or need for a stack
- Often limits emissions to a liquid condensate or vapour freely vented (in some cases, condensate can generate a new revenue opportunity)
Improves Product Quality
An APG™ series solid-state generator:
- Instantly and uniformly heats products from within, preventing over-drying of outer surfaces
- Directly heats the entire product volume, allowing for greater consistency even when heating bulky or large materials
- Allows for precise, instant control and easy modulation from zero to maximum power, significantly reducing defects and product waste
- Delivers selective heating to the core of the product, which maintains product integrity and doesn’t degrade delicate or heat-sensitive materials
Speeds Up Process
The APG7™-50 and APG14™-40:
- Provide instant, direct heating for faster drying times
- Heat targeted materials from within, allowing products to be handled within minutes instead of hours or days
- Can speed up production timelines and improve production capacity
- Reduce the material in process, which reduces inventory and frees up cash
