Why Microwaves?

For traditional cremation, water content is a big problem.

Neo Joule cremators benefit from that problem.​

Our microwaves target water molecules and use them to volumetrically heat the process.

How does the Neo Joule Cremator work?

Watch our video to learn how
the Neo Joule Cremator works:

MK1
  • All electric
  • Directed-Energy Microwave
  • <3 Tonnes
  • 1.7m x <3m (MKII chamber size)
  • Removable insert tray
  • Motorised and safety interlocked, vertical opening doors (MKII)
  • Managed gas flow
  • Gas abatement technology (R&D 2023)
  • Estimated cycle time:
    ~90 minutes
  • Working temperature:
    100-800 °C
  • Energy use per cycle:
    50 - 225 kWh (max. demand ~150 kW)

Features (based on the R&D unit for illustration)

How is Neo Joule Sustainable & Environmentally responsible?

Use all Green Energy from
renewables and the
Neo Joule Cremator is
net zero carbon
Our gas abatement system detoxifies hazardous gases and air pollutants during the cremation process

How could Neo Joule save me money?

rebrick
  • No rebricking - EVER!
  • Save $£€¥ over system lifetime
ambient
  • Low cycle cost
  • Ambient-to-ambient
  • Switch-on to use, Switch-off when done
*Energy rating compared to gas and electric
(non-microwave) cremators

Delivery and install designed to be easier, lower cost and shorter

  • Deliverable by standard road container
  • Assembly on site
  • Minimised disruption for historic buildings
Extended warranty as standard

How is Neo Joule safer?

ambient_process

No hot casket insertion

Traditional cremation units remain at very high temperatures during casket insertion and ash retrieval. The Neo Joule process starts and finishes at lower temperatures, thereby reducing operator's burn hazards.

No hot raking out

Exchangeable tray can be easily removed with cremains, saving the operator the need to rake ash out from the chamber
doors
Vertical motorised sliding doors allowing for easy unobstructed access to the chamber from either end
With motorised doors and removable trays the design of the Neo Joule cremator allows for future automation and a safer, hands-free operation

What are the Neo Joule applications?

Compact and light-weight with low infrastructure requirements.

The Neo Joule cremator chamber is <3 m maximum dimension, weighs <3 Tonnes and requires only 150 kW power.

Meaning it can go almost anywhere it's needed and run off renewables or a local mobile low power generator.
