Continuous Radio-Frequency Drying and Moisture Leveling Applications

July 19, 2021

Conventional heating relies on conduction to transfer heat to the center of the material which can be a slow process and cause undesireable surface effects. By contrast, RF heating occurs simultaneously throughout the thickness of the material providing fast and uniform heating.
