Questions And Answers
Is Radio Frequency safe?
Yes. The process can be perfectly controlled via PLC, it doesn’t emit radiations or fumes. All RF Systems machines are equipped with all safety devices and are in compliance with the specific regulation of each country.
How long does it take to perform the treatment?
Process times may vary, depending on residual moisture, density, product type, target temperature etc. It can take from a few seconds to several minutes.
Does Radio Frequency equipment need frequent spare parts replacement?
No. The RF equipment does not require frequent maintenance. Only triodes need to be periodically replaced to ensure optimal performance.
Does Radio Frequency equipment emit greenhouse gases?
No. RF equipment is powered by electricity and does not emit any fumes or gas.
Are radio frequencies ionizing radiations?
No. The thermal effect in only due by to the molecules’ rotation and not to the electromagnetic radiation itself . Radio Frequency is 27,12 (MHz), therefore it is non-ionizing radiation, meaning that it has insufficient energy to break chemical bonds or remove electrons (ionization).
Does Radio Frequency technology affect product quality?
No. The thermal effect in only due by to the molecules’ rotation and not to the electromagnetic radiation itself (that is, in fact, non-ionizing), preserving at best the biological, chemical, sensorial and nutritional properties of the products, in compliance with safety regulations.
What's the difference between Radio Frequency and microwaves?
Radio Frequency and Microwaves are both heating processes based on electromagnetic field and they are both endogenous heating. The main difference is the wavelength: RF is 27,12 MHz, whereas MW ranges from 300MHz to 3GHz. Due to their longer wavelength, Radio Frequencies are able to penetrate deeply into dense and large products, ensuring a better heating uniformity.
Can I perform product testing before purchasing a machine?
Our lab is equipped with pilot machines for product testing. They are also available for rental for testing sessions at customer’s facilities. Contact us to book a free test!
