Method of Microwave
The microwave technology is an innovative and efficient method for fumigation and disinfection, based on the use of high-frequency electromagnetic radiation. This system allows for the rapid treatment of environments, surfaces, and products without leaving chemical residues, providing an ecological and high-performance solution for pest control and the elimination of microorganisms.
How does the microwave method work?
The process is based on the generation of electromagnetic waves in the microwave band (generally around 2.45 GHz) that, when interacting with the molecules present in the medium, especially water, cause their vibration and the generation of internal heat. This uniform and deep heating has two main effects:
Disinfection and sterilization: The heat produced is sufficient to destroy bacteria, fungi, viruses, and other microorganisms, ensuring the elimination of pathogenic agents without the need to apply chemical products.
Pest control: The high internal temperature induced in the target material can inactivate or eliminate pests and insects present, protecting crops, storage, and other sensitive environments.
Advantages of the microwave method
Speed and efficiency: The action of microwaves allows for achieving lethal temperatures for pathogens and pests in very short times, accelerating the fumigation process.
No chemical residues: By not using chemical inputs, this method avoids environmental contamination and leaves the treated environment free of residues.
Uniformity in application: The radiation penetrates homogeneously into the material, ensuring uniform internal heating and effective disinfection throughout the surface or product.
Versatility: It can be applied in different areas, from the sterilization of products and packaging to the treatment of storage areas, industrial or agricultural facilities.
Energy efficiency: Microwave equipment is designed to optimize energy consumption, offering a cost-effective and sustainable solution.
Applications of the method
Microwave technology is especially useful for:
Fumigation of environments and surfaces: Ideal for disinfecting rooms, warehouses, production centers, and critical areas where strict hygiene control is required.
Sterilization of products: Suitable for treating food, pharmaceutical materials, and other sensitive products, maintaining their quality and safety.
Pest control in granaries and stored crops: Reduces the presence of insects and other undesirable organisms without affecting the integrity of the product.
Treatment of equipment and furniture: Disinfection of tools, machinery, and surfaces in environments where high hygiene standards need to be maintained.
Technical support and proven results
Various studies and practical applications have demonstrated that microwave technology is highly effective in eliminating microorganisms and controlling pests. This method, by combining rapid and deep heating without resorting to chemical products, has been adopted in sectors where safety and sustainability are priorities.
