Customized Batch Tempering

Set up precise batch tempering of frozen meat, fish, poultry, fruit or bakery products in just
minutes with Ferrite's Batch Processor Microwave Oven MIP 10.
   This tempering unit is ideal for portion-control plants, ground beef and poultry operations,
sausage kitchens, bakeries and frozen prepared-food manufacturing. During a single shift, it
automatically and precisely raises the temperature of up to 4,000 pounds (1,816 kg) of frozen
product to 28 degrees Fahrenheit (-2 degrees Celcius).

Uniform Product Heating

As a leader in industrial microwave oven development, Ferrite offers the widest variety of
cooking and tempering microwave ovens on the market.
   The MIP 10 provides uniform heating, which reduces the additional time sometimes
required prior to critical processing operations, such as slicing and grinding applications. In
addtition, it enables consistent, efficient tempering from lower starting temperatures.

Precision Control

Precise computer control of processing time provides predictable temperature rise, or
tempering, and product end temperature. Typically, this microwave oven tempers a load of
about 300 pounds (136 kg) in four minutes (see chart on back for examples.

A Complete System

The basic system consists of a 50-inch by 42-inch (1.3 meter by 1.1 meter) microwave oven,
one Ferrite GET 2024 75 kilowatt microwave transmitter and a loading table on convenient
rollers. The oven size permits a uniform loading procedure for the simultaneous processing of
one 16-inch high (40.64 centimeter) tier of containers from a 40-inch by 48-inch (1.02 meter by 1.22
meter) pallet.

Ferrite Keeps Your Facility Clean

With the MIP 10 installed, you can eliminate tempering rooms or racks and the resulting drip
or liquid runs that are common in the food processing industry. Tempering food with the Ferrite
microwave oven retains protein and flavor compounds for tastier, fresher products.

Warranted for Dependability

The MIP 10 is covered by a full one-year warranty. Both in- and out-of-warranty service
support is provided by Ferrite Certified field technicians.

Reliable, Dependable Industrial Systems

Batch Processor oven MIP 10 system is designed to withstand the rigors of conditions found in
the food processing environment.
   Applications include up to 24 hours of continuous tempering operation, with a cleaning period at the
end of each shift, 7 days per week.

Product Transport

A 5-foot by 5-foot (1.5 meter by 1.5 meter) heavy duty plastic pallet mounted on rollers.

Microwave Isolation

The MIP 10 Batch transmitter is electrically isolated from the process oven by an integral microwave circulator that helps provide long megatron tube life. The transmitter can be located directly adjacent to,
above or below an applicator cavity. Because of the efficiency of Ferrite's waveguide power transmission,
it is possible to install the transmitter in a remote location.

Sanitation

The MIP 10 tempering oven and microwave transmitter are manufactured entirely from stainless steel.
The process oven is washable.

Safety

Interlocking access doors on the transmitters meet all applicable government (OSHA and Health
and Human Services) safety standards, and provide a safe operating environment.
   Fittings are provided on the oven to interface with an optional, customer-supplied fire suppression
system. Light and customer-supplied temperature sensors may be used in the oven to send signals to
trigger the system.

Export: Ferrite provides many other configurations for worldwide use.
