Industrial Microwave Systems' patented planar technology enables continuous planar processes to be uniformly heated and dried with microwave energy for the first time. For web based processes such as textiles, nonwovens, paper, printing, coatings, foams, and adhesives, as well as for conveyed beds of materials such as nuts, grains, baked goods, organic mats, and building materials, IMS's Planar Technology offers an unprecedented improvement over other drying alternatives. IMS's completely scalable configuration of slotted, serpentined waveguides in combination with high power microwave generators can accommodate materials up to 2.5" inches in thickness (5" available in an alternate configuration), and 30 feet wide. The efficiency of microwaves along with the uniform energy distribution created by IMS's unique, patented technology, dramatically increases production speeds and improves product quality.
