Precision Tempering Control from Ferrite

Greatly reduce tempering time for frozen meat, fish, poultry, fruit or even bakery products from
days to minutes with Ferrite's MIP 12 Continuous Tempering Tunnel System.
Temper up to 17,000 pounds (7,700 kg) of zero degree Farenheit (-18 degrees Celcius) product
per hour. Continuous tempering enables precise control of product temperature for further
processing, such as slicing, dicing, forming and molding.

Simplify the Tempering Process

The MIP 12 simplifies the food tempering process. It eliminates tempering rooms and racks,
along with the resulting sanitation issues and brings precision to your food processing procedures.
Microwave tempering gives you control over the production process and helps you plan both
input and output on a daily, weekly or monthly basis.

Product quality and yield are improved and drip loss is minimized. Flavor and protein compounds
remain in the product and are passed along to the consumer. Controlled temperature rise and
predictable end temperature endures processing flexibility.

Modular Tempering System

The basic system consists of a single 4-foot by 4-foot by 8-foot long tunnel (1.2 meters
by 1.2 meters by 2.5 meters) with up to four dependable 75 kilowatt transmitters.

Product temperature control is maintained with simple belt speed or transmitter power
adjustments. Additional transmitters, up to a total of four, can be added to the unit to significantly
increase production output.

Warranted for 1 year

Both in- and out-of-warranty service support is provided by Ferrite Certified field technicians.

Option Designed to Enhance Efficiency

Ferrite offers the following options for the Continuous Tempering Oven:
• 12' Tempering Oven
• Openings to accomodate 5 gallon buckets.

Reliable, Dependable Industrial Systems

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 20-inch wide positive drive, articulated belt of microwave transparent material transports the food
product through the oven.

Microwave Isolation

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

Sanitation

The MIP 12 ovens and microwave transmitters are manufactured from stainless steel, and the
process oven and conveyor belt are 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. Light and temperature sensors
in the oven send signals to trigger the system.
