AMTek

AMTek is a US-based specialist in industrial microwave systems with over 25 years of experience in designing, manufacturing and supporting industrial microwave solutions.

AMTek’s technology can be used for drying, heating and heat treatment of materials. Microwave energy is applied directly to the material being processed, enabling rapid and precisely controlled processing while offering a promising electric alternative or complement to conventional drying and heating methods.

Opportunities for microwave technology, particularly in the forest and process industries:

• drying and heating fibres and biomaterials
• drying wet materials
• drying and heat treatment of coatings and adhesives
• preheating materials
• continuous production processes
• supplementing existing drying processes

AMTek offers both continuous and batch systems. Solutions are designed to meet each customer’s requirements for material, capacity, process conditions and available space.

For new applications, the material’s suitability for microwave processing can be assessed in cooperation with AMTek and, where necessary, verified through process testing.

AMTek’s microwave technology is also widely used in the food industry for heating, drying, tempering and cooking.
