TAKE YOUR PRODUCTS FOR A TEST DRIVE

See first hand – if microwave or RF technology can improve your production process – or if Thermex-Thermatron equipment is a better choice for your company!

Welcome to ThermaLab; a fully dedicated area on the Thermex-Thermatron manufacturing floor, filled with multiple equipment types used in the microwave and RF process. These machines are working units, available to test a wide variety of materials and processes to evaluate the suitability for microwave or RF heating.

This is ideal for those companies whose process does not yet include microwave or RF technology, or companies currently using non-Thermex-Thermatron equipment. Now there is a way – at little or no cost – to test and evaluate selected products on Thermex equipment – in a realistic, manufacturing environment.

Thermex-Thermatron's ThermaLab

Apply MW & RF Technology to Your Products

Companies involved in drying or curing a product, preheating, bonding or laminating, welding or heat-sealing – are utilizing ThermaLab’s test equipment to see if their processes and productivity could be enhanced using this proven technology, with quality Thermex equipment.

Participants can accompany their products to our Louisville, Kentucky facility, or we can test products from provided specifications and report the results. Either way, our engineers assist through every step of the process. And, if the process proves beneficial and viable, we can provide specific equipment information, recommendations, and pricing for review.

We can also provide process development services.  For more information, contact:
