Titan Microwave Prep System
Basic Unit
The Titan MPS is designed for pressure digestion at temperatures up to 230 °C
(446 °F) in continuous use (short term 260 °C (500 °F) and, depending on the type
of vessels employed, pressures up to a max. of 100 bar (1450 psi).
This is a top loading microwave made of 1.4301 (SS 304) stainless steel and
equipped with a drop safety lid with a plastic cover, electromechanical locking
mechanism and a circular sample chamber for uniform microwave distribution.
The oven has a chemically resistant PFA coating protecting it from corrosion.
Three over-temperature switches and four micro-switches guarantee the necessary
operating safety. The microwave unit is equipped with a ventilation system, the
area of the oven ventilation is completely separated from the electronic- and
magnetron ventilation. Three special fans integrated in the housing, one for
electronics and one fan for each magnetron ensure optimized cooling. An optional
external fan ventilates the oven cavity as well as the gas collection manifold.
