CONTRACT DRYING & PRODUCT TRIALS

Test. Develop. Process.

Mildtech offers product trials, process development and contract drying using our solid-state microwave and vacuum systems. We work with you to evaluate your material, establish suitable processing conditions and provide contract processing where required.

HOW WE CAN WORK WITH YOU

Three Ways to Work With Mildtech

Alongside our range of solid-state microwave processing systems, Mildtech offers product trials, process development and contract processing support to help customers evaluate applications, develop suitable processing conditions and progress toward the most appropriate solution.

Product Trials

Evaluate how your product or material responds to Mildtech’s solid-state microwave and vacuum technology through practical small-scale trials.

Process Development

Develop suitable processing conditions around your material, target outcome and quality requirements, including microwave power, temperature, vacuum and processing time.

Contract Processing

Once suitable conditions have been established, Mildtech can process appropriate products and materials on your behalf, providing a flexible option alongside equipment purchase and scale-up.

WHY MILDTECH

Why Use Mildtech for Contract Processing?

Contract processing gives you access to Mildtech’s solid-state microwave technology without the need to invest in equipment from the outset. We can help develop suitable processing conditions around your material and continue processing on your behalf where required.

Access Mildtech technology without purchasing equipment
Precise control of microwave power, frequency, temperature and vacuum
Vacuum or atmospheric processing depending on the application
Progress from initial trials into repeat contract processing
Clear route toward equipment scale-up if your requirements grow

FROM TRIAL TO PRODUCTION

A Simple Route from Trial to Production

From initial material evaluation through process development and into ongoing processing or equipment scale-up, Mildtech provides a clear route for developing your application.

STAGE 01

Send Your Material

We discuss your product or material, current condition, target outcome and any specific processing requirements.

STAGE 02

Trial & Evaluate

We process the material on an appropriate Mildtech system and assess its response to microwave and vacuum processing.

STAGE 03

Optimise the Process

Processing conditions are refined around the material and required outcome, including microwave power, temperature, vacuum and processing time.

STAGE 04

Contract Processing or Machine Purchase

Once suitable conditions are established, the process can progress into contract processing or toward the selection and scale-up of suitable Mildtech equipment.
