LABSCALE 25-GALLON (6kW) UNIT

WAVETek LABSCALE 25-6 is an insulated small single wall laboratory scale unit designed to allow experiments and processing of small volume sample products. The laboratory unit can handle from a minimum of 6 gallons up to 25 gallons of product to be processed as a batch. It uses a 6 kW microwave transmitter running at 2450 MHZ and a pump for circulating the product being processed. The system can be fitted with different pump types for different products. The process tank is fitted with a microwave entry window and circulation lines and sits on load cells. Pump speed can be controlled via a Variable Frequency Drive (VFD), which also allows for running the pump in reverse to add products to the tank. A 6” cleanout plate on top provides access to the tank inside as well as a Clean In-Place (CIP) attachment when needed. The WAVETek LABSCALE 25-6 can be rented for on-site trials or be used at WAVETek’s showroom to compare batch processing with client’s conventional process system.

Use the WAVETek LABSCALE 25-6 to test how fast a certain volume of a product heats to desired temperatures using kilowatts ranging from 0 to 6 kW. The temperature sensor in the vessel provides a closed loop with the PLC to automatically adjust power input when desired temperature is reached.

​

The units provide an opportunity for the operator to test and observe accurate temperature control, predictable time-temperature-power relationships, and higher quality finished product. It further provides an opportunity to perform cost-benefit and return on investment analyses.
