Microwave oven for baking e coat

February 11, 2009

Our company is in the process of installing an E-Coat facility and we have plans for including a LPG-fired convection type oven for baking.
I recently read about microwave type ovens that are available for industries.
What do you think will be the most striking advantage and limitation?

Apart from the feasibility of heat control my biggest worry would be the H & S aspect of the system... we have all read about the dangers to our eyesight due to loose fitting doors on domestic MW ovens. But I await to be corrected.
