Does anybody know anything about indrustial microwave ovens?

Question

Who makes industrial microwave ovens? I want to be able to make a massive microwave oven that would hold ten or twelve loaves of bread wide at the same time. If i put the bread in one end, and with a conveyor belt running through the middle, I want it to be able to come out the other end cooked within 6 seconds.
Is this possible, and if so how would i go about it?

Answer 1

Several companies make microwave oven with open ends - They are in sections and effectively several smaller units sat side by side. A conveyor runs through the middle.
Baking is not simply a process of getting things hot. Try putting a piece of meat in a microwave and bringing it up to boiling point. It is hot but when you taste it it is boiled not roasted.
Bread would be just a sticky mess if you microwaved it in the way you suggest. Try putting a piece of dough in a microwave on full power. Does it 'bake'? No way.
Some microwave ovens are used to dry out biscuits after baking.

Answer 2

Since microwaves operate using radiation effectively if you had an oven with open ends (or even an open door) when the magnetron was energised everything in the room would get cooked from the inside out. A microwave is effectively a radar which is locally controlled. It would do you no good being anywhere near an open ended one.

Answer 3

Apart from the difficulties mentioned above in open-ended microwaves (i.e everybody would die) to get it cooked in six seconds thouroughly would require a fantastic power setting- I'm guessing at about 8000 watts. You'd be pulling nearly two thousand amps through and that's a lot. If you ran it all day I would not want your electricity bill. How are you going to get the crusts brown?
I sense a baking problem in this too- any cooks out there?
