Infrared Systems

TYPICAL APPLICATIONS

INFRARED ADVANTAGES

- Infrared offers cycle times 50% to 70% shorter than convection heating.
- Infrared heating is highly efficient because the process heats only the product, not the surrounding air.   Infrared energy is not absorbed by air and does not produce heat until an object absorbs it.
- Infrared offers higher heating rates, which means faster production using less floor space
- Electric infrared is an enviornmentally friendly process, with no ozone depleting or green house gases   released. Powder coatings and water based paints are ideally suited for infrared, elemeting solvent based   processes.
- Heated times for infrared emittersis minimal, reducing energy costs. The equipment can be turned on minutes   before production begins and turned off during breaks and lunch periods.
- Infrared ovens require less maintenance. They have few, if abny, moving parts
- On the average, electric infrared ovens are 3 times more efficient in delivering energy to the product than gas   convection ovens.
- With today’s infrared technology, complex shaped objects can be cured, as well as flat shapes.
- Infrared can provide very high temperatures at a much lower cost than convection systems. Infrared is used   to achieve product temperatures above 12000F.
- Infrared is the clean, quiet, worker friendly choice.
- Adding a short infrared oven section in front of a convection oven can offer increased production with a   minimal capital investment.

COMPARING DIFFERENT FORMS OF INFRARED HEAT :

Through the years many different forms of infrared heat sources have been developed. Some of the more familiar forms seen today are metal sheathed tubular heaters, quartz tubes, quartz lamps, gas fire catalytic, flat face panels and ceramic heaters
