Industrial microwave generators – Solid-State & Magnetron
SAIREM develops high-performance industrial microwave generators designed to power industrial heating and material processing systems.
Our generators provide stable, precise and energy-efficient microwave power for a wide range of applications, from industrial thermal treatments to advanced research projects.
We offer two main ranges to suit your production and process requirements:
-
Magnetron generators – high-power, robust and proven solutions
-
Solid-state generators – flexible, precise, and adaptable systems
Both ranges are engineered for reliability, scalability and long-term performance, enabling seamless integration into industrial and laboratory systems.
Magnetron microwave generators
Our magnetron generators are ideal for high-power industrial processes where robust performance and reliability are critical. Widely used across food, materials, and chemical industries, they provide fast volumetric heating and scalable power output.
High microwave power capability
Magnetron generators can deliver very high microwave power levels, from a few kilowatts up to tens or hundreds of kilowatts, making them ideal for large-scale industrial processes.
Proven and robust industrial technology
Magnetron-based systems are widely used in industrial microwave heating thanks to their reliability and maturity as a technology.
High energy efficiency
Modern magnetron generators can achieve high conversion efficiency, allowing effective microwave power generation for thermal processing.
Designed for continuous industrial operation
SAIREM generators integrate industrial features that ensure stable production and reduced downtime
Solid-State microwave generators
Our solid-state generators offer precise power control and advanced modulation capabilities, making them perfect for sensitive or variable processes. Applications include laboratory-scale research, pilot production and specialized industrial heating.
Precise power control
Solid-state generators allow fine and continuous power adjustment, enabling precise process control.
Frequency auto-tuning
SAIREM integrates automatic load-matching algorithms that adjust the frequency to minimize reflected power and optimize microwave absorption.
No high-voltage power supply
Solid-state generators operate with low-voltage power supplies (around 30–50 V), which simplifies system design and improves safety.
Longer lifetime
Because they use semiconductor technology instead of vacuum tubes, solid-state generators have a much longer operational lifetime and fewer wear components.
FAQ – Industrial microwave generators
The microwaves are always created by a magnetron or by a solid-state microwave generator. This is a fully electric solution. The microwave radiations are used in heating and drying processes thanks to the dielectric loss properties of materials. The quick polarity reversal of the electromagnetic field creates vibration and rotation of the polarised molecules inside the material. This phenomenon is the origin of the heat generated.
The microwave generators can be a perfect solution to improve thermal processes in different sectors. They also represent an energy source than can be used for scientific and industrial applications.
The microwave generators are ideal to improve heating and drying processes. For the food industry, they allow food products to be quickly tempered or defrosted; but they can also be used in the industrial sector to heat or dry different kinds of materials (ceramics, wood, powder, textiles…), for power-to-x and hydrogen synthesis, and for chemical processes such as vulcanization or polymerization.
The microwave energy also has advantages sought in the scientific field, especially to generate plasma. Especially, SAIREM microwave generators can be used for the production of PECVD synthetic diamonds.
The solid-state microwave power generators (SSPG) are the next revolution in the microwave technology field. Although they are still limited to a few kW in power, they offer many advantages compared to previous magnetron technology, such as delivering a stable and narrow microwave signal at 915 MHz and 2,45 GHz, and offering an almost unlimited lifespan and high electric yield..
SAIREM is at the forefront of this technology with several solid-state microwave generators already available on the market.
The microwaves are a form of electromagnetic radiation, which may suggest they could be dangerous. But, as they are non-ionizing radiations, their effect does not last over time. Furthermore, SAIREM systems, and all microwave systems in general, are closed and fitted with sensors to prevent microwave leakage.
For the most sensitive areas of application such as laboratory research, SAIREM provides additional security by means of a wall-mounted alarm which will detect any microwave leakage in the immediate vicinity of a microwave system and sound an alert should any occur.
Our microwave generators are designed to operate independently or remotely controlled, with a minimal footprint and good signal stability. They can deliver anything from hundreds of watts to up to hundreds of kW with significantly reduced power loss. SAIREM microwave generators work at all authorized ISM frequencies, although most of them are designed at 915 MHz and 2450 MHz.
The reliability of the microwave generators offered by SAIREM, both as standalone and integrated units, is recognized and appreciated by many OEMs and research laboratories worldwide. Their modern design allows them to be easily integrated and used in a wide variety of environments.
