Device for heat treating products by means of microwaves and heat treatment method implementing such a device

Abstract

A device for heat-treating products by means of microwaves includes an enclosure (2), a drum (3) having at least one portion mounted inside the enclosure (2), a spacing (4) defined between the enclosure (2) and the drum (3), a support (5) positioned at least partially in said spacing (4) and designed to receive and transport products to be treated, and at least one module (6) for applying microwaves to the products, designed to introduce microwaves into said spacing (4). The drum (3) has a prism shape, extending according to the axis (30) of the drum (3), and including a plurality of sides (31; 31; 31″) extending parallel to the axis (30). The enclosure (2) includes, internally, a plurality of planar surfaces (20; 20; 20″) each oriented towards one (31; 31; 31″) of the sides of the drum (3) and extending parallel to the side of the drum.
