Abstract

This paper examines the main components and design requirements of equipment used for ultra-high-frequency (microwave) grain disinfection. It analyzes different types of microwave radiation sources, waveguide systems, grain treatment chambers, loading and unloading mechanisms, control and monitoring systems, and safety features. Key parameters affecting process efficiency and operator safety are discussed, along with engineering solutions to ensure uniform heating and prevent microwave leakage. The paper also considers the importance of proper system integration for energy efficiency, reliability, and long-term operational stability.
