Abstract: Systems and methods for efficient microwave drying of extruded honeycomb structures are disclosed. The methods include conveying first and second sets of honeycomb structures in opposite directions through multiple applicator cavities. Each honeycomb structure has a moisture content MC, and the honeycomb structures within each cavity define an average moisture content MCA between 40% and 60% therein. The methods include irradiating the first and second sets of honeycomb structures within the cavities with microwave radiation having an amount of input microwave power PI that results in an amount of reflected microwave power PR from the honeycomb structures, where PR

Abstract: Tray assemblies and methods for manufacturing ceramic articles are provided. In one embodiment, a tray assembly includes a tray body having a supporting surface operable to support a ceramic article for passage through a microwave drying apparatus during a microwave drying process and a microwave coupling cover associated with the tray body. The microwave coupling cover envelopes at least a portion of the ceramic article during the microwave drying process. The microwave coupling cover has a dielectric property such that a greater percentage of microwave energy is coupled into the ceramic article with the microwave coupling cover present during the microwave drying process than with the microwave coupling cover not present. Methods may include rotating the ceramic article when the ceramic article is about 40%-60 dry.

Abstract translation: 提供了用于制造陶瓷制品的托盘组件和方法。 在一个实施例中，托盘组件包括具有支撑表面的托盘主体，该支撑表面可操作以在微波干燥过程期间支撑用于通过微波干燥设备的陶瓷制品以及与托盘主体相关联的微波耦合盖。 在微波干燥过程中，微波耦合盖包封陶瓷制品的至少一部分。 微波耦合盖具有这样的介电特性，使得在微波干燥过程中存在的微波耦合盖与微波耦合盖不存在相比，更大百分比的微波能耦合到陶瓷制品中。 当陶瓷制品约为40％-60干时，方法可包括旋转陶瓷制品。
