Abstract

The invention relates to an apparatus for treating objects with UHF-engergy comprising an elongated treating chamber, which is provided with UHF traps at entrance and exit ends, through which a conveyor runs and on its upper side is provided with UHF energy inputs which are connected by waveguides with their energy source, whereby parts of the upper side of the treating chamber are formed as hinged or removable covers. It is the object of the invention to provide an apparatus for treating products with UHF-energy which with simple construction permits an opening of the treating chamber from above over its entire length. The invention consists therein, that also those parts of the upper side of the treatment chamber which are provide with UHF inputs are formed as hinged or removable covers and that the waveguide leading from the UHF energy source to the UHF inputs to the treating chamber is formed flexible or comprise at least two separable parts.
