Abstract In order to maximize success and avoid costly failures
of microwave applications in the food industry it is important that the
microwave equipment manufacturers lead the way to realistic assessments of
the potential applications. In depth examination with meaningful answers to
the following questions are of utmost importance: 1. What is the real
problem?; 2. What are the true economics of the situation.; 3. Is the effect
of microwaves in the system truly unique?; 4. Could direct and indirect labor charges on a given product be reduced by the
addition of microwave power?; 5. What is the best combination of energy
sources for the particular application? Wherever possible discussions should
be held with a cross-section of personnel who will be involved with using the
process if installed. Finally, attention should be paid to anticipating
start-up problems and providing personnel and means for keeping the equipment
on the air. |
