HEPHAISTOS Industrial Microwave Oven

The newly developed VHM HEPHAISTOS is an internationally patented system and characterized by a very high field homogeneity. For the first time, the advantages of microwave technology have been developed successfully to an industrially mature high technology.

The high field homogeneity allows for the manufacture of high-quality CFC aircraft structures, for instance. Conventional production systems (e. g. metal tools) may be kept. The fibre composites are of a high lightweight construction potential and, hence, comply with the strict cost and weight requirements of aircraft industry. The advantages of the HEPHAISTOS system may also be used in other applications, for instance in the automobile industry.

Microwaves are the only physical heating method for the specific, volumetric heating of a product. The furnace chamber itself remains cold.
