Precision Tempering Control from Ferrite

Greatly reduce tempering time for frozen meat, fish, poultry, fruit or bakery products from days to
minutes with Ferrite’s indexing batch tempering system. Temper up to 13,000 pounds of zero
degree Fahrenheit (-18 degrees Celsius) product per hour.
      Microwave tempering enables precise control of product temperature for further processing,
such as slicing, dicing, forming, and molding.

Simplify the Tempering Process

The MIP6 simplifies the food tempering process. It eliminates 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 help 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 temper-
ature rise and predictable end temperature ensures processing flexibility.

A Complete System

The basic system consists of a 4-foot by 4-foot by 6-foot long cavity with an internal oscillating
conveyor, up to two dependable microwave transmitters, a loading conveyor, and an unloading
conveyor. Precise final product temperature control is maintained with simple power on-time
or transmitter power adjustments.
     For applications where three or four transmitters are required, an optional 8-foot long
cavity is available.

Warranted for Dependability

The MIP 6 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

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 Tempering Process

A 20-inch wide positive drive, articulated belt loads material onto the cavity conveyor and into the
tempering cavity. After the loading step is complete, cavity doors are shut and microwave tempering
automatically begins. While in the tempering mode, the cavity conveyor oscillates the product back
and forth to ensure uniform heating. Once the tempering cycle is complete, doors are opened and
product is unloaded onto the exit conveyor.

Sanitation

The MIP 6 cavity and conveyors are washdown safe.

Safety

Interlocking access doors on the microwave transmitters and process ovens meet applicable
government safety standards including CE compliance.

Customization

System design can be customized to meet specific customer requirements.
