Microwave ovens for public catering - Altek. Infrared or microwave dryer for drying wood: choosing equipment for work

microwave The installation consists of a microwave chamber, a magnetron, a waveguide, a power supply unit, a cooling system and various safety devices.

From the magnetron, through a rectangular waveguide, electromagnetic radiation enters the microwave chamber. The heat removal from the magnetron is air system cooling made with the help of a fan and air ducts passing through the microwave chamber. Thus, the body in the chamber is heated not only with the help of microwaves, but also with the warm air removed from the magnetron. Further, the air in the chamber is saturated with water, that is, it turns into steam and exits through non-radiated holes (transcendental waveguides) to the outside. The power supply of the magnetron is high-voltage and consists of a diode, a capacitor and a transformer. To achieve normal operation without excessive radiation to the outside, interlock microswitches (from 2 to 5 pieces) are used to confirm that the door of the microwave chamber is closed tightly. If there is lighting in the chamber, then an incandescent lamp is usually used inside the duct. Using the control unit, made in the form of an electromechanical timer or an electronic unit, the operating mode is set in the microwave chamber. Many furnaces have thermal relays located on the magnetron and on the chamber with outside to prevent overheating and failure.

Figure 1.7.1. The design of the microwave installation

1.7. 2 The principle of microwave heating

In a furnace, the body can be heated by the principle of "dipole shift", which occurs in materials that contain a polar nye molecules. The energy of electromagnetic waves sets in motion molecules that have a dipole moment. Thus, the temperature of the material increases.

Most household and industrial microwave ovens operate at 2450 MHz and at 915 MHz.

Based on practical and design considerations, the indicated frequency was chosen:

The magnetron must have a power of over 500 W, the required efficiency, cost and certain dimensions;

The frequency must meet the international and national standards for allowed frequencies.

The depth of penetration of microwaves into the working fluid should be about a few centimeters. (The higher the frequency, the lower the penetration depth).

Conveyor-type microwave devices

Microwave devices of the pass-through type are used in the production of heat-insulating materials using dry and liquid silicates, for example, from a mixture of hydroaluminosilicates bound by liquid glass. There are devices designed for fast temperature treatment (blowing) and for slow one. Such an abundance of heat treatment rates gives a similar set of bubble heat-insulating substances, with different properties. Microwave heat treatment devices are made in such a way that inside them, if the radiation has not been absorbed by the material, it is repeatedly reflected from the walls and still reaches its goal. The basic rule for uniform microwave heating is multiple low-power microwave generators (from 0.6 kW to 0.85 kW) with air cooling, which are located inside in a strict order. On the operating frequency 2450 MHz generators of microwave radiation have a waveguide output with a cross section of (72 34) mm. Figure 3 shows the design of a device for microwave heat treatment for the manufacture of heat-insulating plates with a size of 60060050 mm from expanded vermicuite bonded with liquid glass.

The raw material is installed on the lower collapsible tray made of fluoroplastic, which transmits microwave radiation, and enters the installation, where it is emitted. When passing through the chamber, the processed substance becomes lighter by 30-40%, while increasing its volume from two to six times due to the fact that liquid glass swells.

At the same time, for these microwave installations, the efficiency of the radiated energy reaches 90%, taking into account the heating losses environment and internal walls of the device. At this stage, such a device can pass through itself 117 plates in an eight-hour working day, while the microwave power is 27 kW. To achieve this power, it is necessary to install 45 low power generators (0.6 kW).

The layout of sources on the chamber is shown in fig. 1.7.3. .

Microwave devices of periodic type

A microwave installation of a periodic type, for example, is a device for drying wood. On the walls of the chamber are installed generators of microwave radiation, each of which is 0.6 kW.

Waveguide energy outputs are installed in microwave generators, each of which has a cross section of 72mm (2450 MHz) and mm (915 MHz). Since the generators are placed along the walls in this way, the wood heats up evenly.

Technological modes of wood drying were made for all generators, taking into account multiple reflections from the side surfaces inside the microwave unit. The calculation of temperatures at each point of the chamber was made both for the start of the process, when the moisture content of the raw material is maximum, and for the end, when the moisture content of the material is much less. The condition under which the temperatures of all points of the chamber were calculated was that the uneven distribution of the temperature of the raw material in any section of the stack of wood should not exceed 20°C.

Also, for example, an installation for soil disinfection in greenhouses is a small microwave device that travels from one greenhouse to another and is structurally similar to the installation described above, only instead of wooden planks a stack of boxes with soil is placed in it.

So, for all types of installations, it is important that the generators of microwave radiation inside the chambers are distributed inside them, this allows you to heat the materials evenly. This is essential for positions such as:

Obtaining new heat-insulating building materials by the swelling method (based on liquid glass with fillers, expanded polystyrene granules on a cement binder, and others);

Heating and drying of raw materials (bales of tobacco before fermentation and cutting, food products and others).

Structurally, these devices must be designed so that the heating of the raw material inside the chambers occurs evenly. In addition, it is desirable to make the internal cavities of these units spacious enough so that large production volumes of raw materials can be processed per unit of time.

Description
Industrial microwave WSZ is a tunnel type of sterilizers. Typically, heat transfer occurs as follows: the surface of the equipment transfers heat to the surface of the material, which further transfers heat to inner part material. Heat conduction occurred with the help of convection or a radiated wave. This method has always had the negative factor of slowly reaching the desired temperature for sterilization. Microwave units radiate in such a way as to respond directly and quickly to existing bacteria in the material. The thermal and non-thermal effects are both effective in this case, thus reducing the processing time. The sterilization process, depending on the properties of the material, usually lasts 3-5 minutes. The sterilization temperature in the chamber varies from 70℃ to 90℃.

Application
This equipment used to sterilize and dry the following types of materials: spices, food additives, protein powder, meat products, seafood, fruits, legumes, vegetables, mushrooms, wheat, starch, compound feed and so on, spreading to a wide variety of industries, including food, pharmaceutical, agricultural.

A professional microwave oven has a number of significant differences from household appliances, and this should be taken into account when deciding to buy a microwave oven for a restaurant or cafe. It is important to understand that household appliance not designed for long and frequent work cycles, does not have enough power to solve professional and production tasks, does not always meet the strict hygienic requirements applied to. Let's pay attention to a number of the most important parameters of professional microwave ovens for public catering.

  • The power of the magnetron in such models can be very high, reaching up to 3 kilowatts, and this reduces the heating time by up to 40 - 60% compared to a household stove. So, it will take no more than 9 seconds to bring a hot sandwich to serving temperature, for a cheeseburger - about 20 seconds.
  • Increased power makes it possible to evenly process the workpiece, prevent the appearance of dry edges, unheated middle - this is essential to reduce rejects.
  • The working space of a professional microwave oven is usually large, the volume of the chamber can reach up to 35 liters, and this is a serious application for mass production in catering. There is no rotating plate element in the working chamber, which only takes up space in terms of professional use.
  • The duration of the working cycle can reach up to 60 minutes, the number of cycles per day is limited not to five or six inclusions, but to hundreds. At the same time, the electronic programmer is capable of operating in a variety of complex modes, and the operator can set complex sequences of operations for the device.
  • Inner space the working chamber is made of stainless steel, which meets the hygienic standards for public catering establishments.

The principle of operation and types of professional microwave ovens

The principle of operation of a professional microwave oven is based on the resonance that occurs in current-conducting molecules when they enter the region of microwave electromagnetic radiation. It defines the most important feature This method of heating is surface heating. Unlike traditional methods of heat treatment of products for cooking, heating occurs not due to the influx of heat from the outside, but directly inside the surface layer.

Some features of the physics of this process and the misconceptions associated with it should be taken into account. Electromagnetic induction leads to the appearance of current only on the surface of the conductor, which means that the active process of resonance and heating occurs at a shallow depth, and the statement “the microwave heats the product from the inside” is deeply erroneous. It would be more accurate to say that the product is heated by itself, and not under the influence of an external heat source. The heat propagates from the surface layer inwards.

The heating efficiency depends on the presence of water molecules in the product. A wet surface layer will warm up faster. Therefore, when defrosting a large piece of meat, its edges may begin to “cook”. Drops of fat in the working chamber can become active conductors of current, and this will lead to the appearance of a superconducting plasma that looks like sparks and a blue glow in a microwave oven, and ultimately to a breakdown of the magnetron.

A professional microwave oven allows you to regulate the heating process not due to pauses in the operation of the magnetron (like a household electric stove with frequent on and off), but due to the use of an inverter in the design - it changes the power of the radiation itself. For professional cooking, this is very important, because it gives real opportunity control the process of cooking, defrosting or heating food.

These physical features are the main difference between microwave processes and millennial methods traditional for cooking. That is why manufacturers of microwave ovens began to expand their functionality and integrate into their products various devices for traditional cooking methods. The result of such developments was the emergence of complex devices with additional functions.

  • The convection microwave oven supplies hot air to the working chamber, thus allowing you to cook traditional dishes using the baking method, as in.
  • The microwave oven with a grill is equipped with heating elements for work in a commercial kitchen - frying meat and fish using direct heat, as in professional grills . heating elements can be located at different points of the working chamber.
  • Microwave ovens with a programmer are the most powerful devices that work for a long time with a built-in microprocessor. They perform many functions, they are able to independently carry out the entire cycle from defrosting to complete cooking of the dish and signal the completion of the process. As a rule, a display is installed on such equipment for full information and control. These types of ovens are designed for three-phase connection, due to which they provide an output power of up to 3 kilowatts, while working with two magnetrons according to microprocessor commands.
  • Industrial microwave ovens - they are not used in the restaurant business, but exist as a class of equipment for various industries, including mechanical engineering.
