“From Brute Power to Precision Control: When to Integrate Solid‑State with Magnetrons in Industrial Heating” Virtual Meeting on October 22, 2026 at 11am ET.
  • Magnetrons built this industry by delivering rugged, low‑cost watts; solid‑state is redefining it by putting every watt exactly where and when you need it. This piece maps out the crossover point – the applications where process stability, flexibility and uptime make precision control worth more than sheer power.
  • Please share your thoughts on this topic with the community.
Agenda:
  • Welcome + introduction -> Klaus Werner
  • 2 “points in case” Adam Jones and John Gerling (15 minutes each)
  • Open discussion (± 20 minutes)
  • Conclusions “at the spot” / possible continuation

Webinar: The “Push Button, Cook Food” Solid State Experience

10:00am-12:00pm EST

Instructors:    John Mastela, Elite RF
Dr. Klaus Werner, pinkRF
Steven Drucker, Droaster Laboratories, LLC

Solid state ovens will deliver the holy grail of Consumer Packaged Goods (“CPG”) Push Button Get Food preparation:

  1. Solid state RF technology for cooking in microwave ovens; and
  2. Tagging language: an open source, universal, and scalable “computer” language to describe consumer packaged goods.

Both technologies are critical ingredients required to prepare CPG food safely, repeatedly and with high quality and appeal. Dr. Werner and Mr. Mastela will describe how semiconductor-based microwave generators enable control and excellent repeatability of the cooking process.

Mr. Drucker will explain, how a formal language with clear “words” will be able to describe CPG’s (or else) in order to the “tell” the microwave cooking appliance what was put inside to prepare. A capable oven will then be able to process the information provided and turn the CPG into a delicious meal.

The presenters will discuss the potentiality and limits of the approach. There will be ample time for questions and discussions with the audience.
