For Preheating, Postheating or Cooking

Smooth, efficient and continuous cooking are essential ingredients for meeting today's production
demands. Ferrite's reliable MIP 11 Microwave Oven Continuous Cooking System is ideal for preh-
eating, postheating or complete of portion-controlled bacon, other meats, poultry, fish and other
food products.
   Precise computer control gives you the flexibility to process up to 1,800 pounds (817 kg) of
product per hour, depending on the product and process variables. You control the speed and
power at which your product is prepared for maximum flexibility.

A Complete, Modular System

The basic system consists of multiple 4-foot wide by 12-foot long (1.3 meters by 3.7 meters)
cooking cavities, a 3-foot-wide (0.9 meter) continuous conveyor system, and one or two
GET 2024 microwave transmitters per cavity.
   Each transmitter provides up to 75 kilowatts of power at 915 MHz. In addition, the system
includes all controls and input and output conveyors. On time delivery, detailed operator training
and complete assistance for a fully operational installation are hallmarks of Ferrite service.
   The basic system product opening is 3 inches (76 mm) high by 36 inches (864 mm) wide.
Overall length of a basic single cavity system is 24.5 feet (7.5 meters). System layouts can be
designed to accommodate specific customer requirements.

Uniform Microwave Cooking

The MIP 11 provides efficient, uniform microwave cooking to provide consistent, proven results.
Products up to 3 inches thick can be uniformly heated by Ferrite's exclusive Rotowave antenna
system, which efficiently and evenly apply microwave energy.
   The MIP 11 can easily meet the requirements of a broad range of product applications,
including bacon cooking.

Warranted for Dependability

The MIP 11 Cooking System is covered by a one year warranty.
   Both in- and out-of-warranty service support is provided by Ferrite Certified field technicians.

Options Designed to Enhance Efficiency

Ferrite offers a variety of options for the Continuous Cooking Oven, including:
• A complete 2-inch (50 mm) thick insulated cavity for heat containment and energy efficiency
• Ferrite Information Management System (FIMS) that permits remote monitoring via a PC
• Ferrite Product Sensors (FPS), which detect the presence or absence of product on conveyor belt
  as it enters the oven, automatically adjusting the power.
• Ferrite Belt Cleaner (FBC) system that uses high pressure water to remove product residue and
  grease from the oven belt
• Ferrite Air Dry high pressure blow-off system to remove excess grease and water before packaging,
  or water from conveyor belt after washing

Transmitter Water Cooling Requirements

Each Ferrite microwave transmitter is water cooled through a heat exchanger using city or local
process water supply. The system includes a one-inch inflow and outflow pipe.

Customization

System design can be customized to meet specific customer requirements.

Product Transport

A standard 3-foot-wide (0.9 meter) positive drive, articulated belt of microwave transparent material
transports the food product through the oven. Belts in other widths also are available.

Microwave Isolation

Each GET2024 transmitter is electrically isolated from the process oven by an integral microwave
circulator that helps provide long megatron tube life.

Sanitation

The MIP 11 ovens and microwave transmitters are manufactured from stainless steel, are 4-rated and
washdown safe.

Safety

Interlocking access doors on the transmitters and process ovens, as well as passive microwave
suppression tunnels, meet applicable government (OSHA and Health and Human Services) safety
standards, and provide the safest operating environment available.
   Fittings are provided on the oven to interface with an optional, customer-supplied fire
suppression system.
