Advanced Microwave Hardware

• An industrial magnetron
  
• Microwave diffuser for optimal microwave distribution and heating
• Rapid heating of high throughput rotors
• Fast air cooling of vessels for higher throughput
• Convenient user centric design for easy loading of the vessels into the cavity

The START D is equipped with an industrial magnetron and the delivered power allows rapid heating of high throughput rotors. A microwave diffuser located above the microwave cavity evenly distributes microwaves throughout the cavity, preventing localized hot and cold spots.
The chassis of the START D is made of corrosion-resistant stainless steel, not molded plastic. The cavity and the door are plasma-coated with PTFE to protect the unit. Milestone’s warranty covers the cavity coating against corrosion for 5 years!

Moreover, the START D in built up with a shock resistant double-glass window, for easy viewing of the pressure vessels. The door opens downward and it can be used by the chemist as working platform to facilitate the loading of vessels into the microwave cavity.
Besides, the START D is equipped with a heavy duty air flow system, placed above the microwave cavity. The air flow rapidly cools the external surfaces of the vessels. An acid-resistant flexible hose connects the exhaust fan to a fume hood, ensuring a safe working environment. Alternatively, the Milestone vessels can be cooled in a water bath, further reducing the cooling time to less than 10 minutes.
