How is fat treatment done in microwave systems?

Industrial microwave systems are widely used for oil reforming process. Oil reforming is a process usually applied to improve the quality and processability of oils such as vegetable oils. The following steps show how the oil reforming process is carried out in industrial microwave systems:

1. Preparation The oil to be used for the oil treatment process must be brought to the correct temperature. For this purpose, the oil may need to be heated in a heater before being placed in the microwave oven.
2. Microwave Process: The fat treatment process is carried out in a microwave oven. Microwave energy penetrates into the oil using the polarisation phenomenon in the oil molecules. This breaks the bonds between the fat molecules and improves the quality of the fat.
3. Cooling: After the oil treatment process, the oil must be cooled to the correct temperature. For this purpose, cooling tanks can be used.
4. Filtration: After the oil treatment process, filtration can be performed to remove solid particles in the oil. This process increases the quality and longevity of the oil.

The above steps are a general summary of the oil reclamation process in industrial microwave systems. However, different treatment processes can also be applied according to the type and characteristics of the oil.

Microwave Pyrolysis Process

Microwave pyrolysis of fat occurs when microwave energy penetrates the fat molecules. This energy breaks the bonds between the oil molecules and reduces the viscosity of the oil. In this way, the fluidity of the oil increases and its processability improves. In addition, the microwave pyrolysis process increases the shelf life of the oil by reducing the oxidation process of the oil.
