Viscosity reduction apparatus using microwave energy

摘要

A method and apparatus for reducing the viscosity of high viscosity material within a container. An electromagnetic enery source is mounted within a housing which is provided with a fixture that is configured to interconnect with the container of high viscosity material. A waveguide and a deflector are provided for directing the electromagnetic energy from the source to the container for heating the high viscosity material therein and reducing its viscosity.
