Industrial Microwave Process Development & Engineering
From idea to industrial system—with the confidence of solid-state
We engineer industrial microwave systems that deliver where others can’t.
Crescend is your development partner for microwave power systems—helping you evaluate, design, and scale with precision-controlled solid-state microwave technology.
Industial Microwave development is full of unknowns
- Will your material respond to microwave energy?
- Can it scale beyond the lab?
- What system do you actually need?
- How can solid-state precision improve my process?
Too often, teams are forced to make costly decisions without the data to support them. That leads to risk.
More than equipment. We’re your development partner.
We work alongside your engineering team to reduce uncertainty at every stage—from initial feasibility through full microwave system design & deployment, we help you:
Understand your material
Testing and evaluating the microwave dielectric properties to determine susceptibility of microwave enery.
Design the right system
Overall microwave system design, encompassing solid-state microwave generators, applicators, waveguides, sensors and instrumentation.
Validate your process
Lab and pilot-scale testing and evaluation. In our lab or your own with the LabWave Microwave Test System.
Scale with confidence
Scale 902-928 MHz industrial microwave from lab to megawatt+systems with the experts in solid-state microwave processing.
Success in microwave processing isn’t just about power. It’s about applying it precisely, consistently, and at scale.
It’s about getting the process right.
A Proven Path from Concept to Commercialization
- Evaluate
- Validate
- Design
- Deploy
We help companies develop and optimize industrial microwave processing systems through material testing, electromagnetic simulation, applicator design, and full microwave system engineering for scalable commercial deployment using solid-state microwave.
Understand Your Material—Before You Design the Microwave System
We evaluate how your material interacts with microwave energy under real conditions.
This determines feasibility, scalability, and system design requirements—before capital investment.
We perform:
- Qualitative go/no-go testing
- Quantitative process development
- Dielectric property analysis (K & loss tangent)
Real-World Testing; Not Trial and Error Assumptions
We test under real process conditions to validate qualitative and quantitative characteristics of the final product, reduce scale-up risk, and accelerate development.
- Continuous Processing Systems
10’ multimode conveyor microwave oven with real-time temperature and moisture monitoring and video capture. - Batch & Lab Testing
2.5kW+ solid-state, thermal imaging & other data capture. - Specialized Testing Capabilities
Vacuum, high-temperature, plasma, and advanced materials testing for demanding applications.
You’re invited to experience testing of your material at our innovation center & test lab at Crescend Headquarters.
