MILDTECH MACHINES

From R&D to Industrial Production

Mildtech designs and manufactures solid-state microwave and vacuum systems for processing applications from research and product development through to larger-scale production.

OUR MACHINE RANGE

Systems for Every Stage of Scale-Up

From compact R&D systems through pilot and commercial production to bespoke tonne-scale equipment, Mildtech’s machine range is designed to support each stage of process development and scale-up.

RESEARCH & DEVELOPMENT

MTECH10

Designed for research, feasibility testing and product development, the MTECH10 brings Mildtech’s solid-state microwave and vacuum processing technology into a compact development-scale system. It is ideal for small-batch trials, proof-of-concept work and early-stage process development before progressing to larger-scale equipment.

TECHNICAL SUMMARY

ADVANCED R&D & SCALE-UP

MTECH20

The MTECH20 provides increased processing capacity while retaining the flexibility and precise control required for research and development. Designed for larger trials, process development and early-stage scale-up, it provides a natural progression from the MTECH10 before moving into pilot-scale production.

PILOT & EARLY-STAGE COMMERCIAL PRODUCTION

MTECH50

Designed for pilot-scale processing, process development and early-stage commercial production, the MTECH50 provides increased capacity with higher microwave power and larger batch capability. Its modular solid-state microwave system combines precise control of power, frequency, vacuum and temperature for repeatable processing across a wide range of applications. As Mildtech’s largest standard system, the MTECH50 provides a practical route from development and validation into commercial production, with bespoke systems available for larger industrial requirements.

COMMON TECHNOLOGY ACROSS THE RANGE

One Technology. Multiple Scales.

Across the MTECH range, the same core solid-state microwave and process-control principles are applied at different scales, providing a consistent approach from research and development through to commercial production.

Solid-State Microwave Control

Precise digital control of microwave power and frequency throughout processing.

Vacuum Processing

Controlled vacuum operation for applications requiring reduced-pressure processing and lower-temperature moisture removal.

Programme Control

Programmable processing conditions enable repeatable control of power, frequency, vacuum, temperature and time.

Temperature Monitoring

Continuous temperature monitoring supports controlled processing within defined operating limits.

Scalable System Architecture

The same core processing principles are applied across systems designed for R&D, pilot and commercial-scale production.

FROM TRIAL TO SCALE-UP

A Clear Route from Testing to Production

Mildtech can support projects from initial feasibility testing through process development, pilot-scale validation and commercial production, allowing processing conditions to be developed and scaled using the same core technology.

01

Feasibility Testing

Evaluate how your product or material responds to microwave processing and establish suitable initial conditions.
02

Process Development

Optimise microwave power, frequency, vacuum, temperature and processing time for the application.

03

Pilot Scale

Validate the process at increased capacity and generate the data required for further scale-up.
04

Commercial Production

Progress into commercial-scale Mildtech equipment or a bespoke system configured around your production requirements.
