* Preheating Plastics for Thermoforming

- Electric Infrared with Zone Control

Casso-Solar custom designs industrial ovens and infrared heaters for the thermoforming industry. Built around Casso-Solar's FB and FBG, discrete multiple zones can be built into a single heater module. Open or closed loop feedback is available for each zone with zone sizes as small as 2" x 2" within a single heater of up to 48" x 48". Plastic materials such as ABS, PVC, Acrylic, Polycarbonate, Polyethylene, Fiberglass or carbon reinforced materials and more can be heated to forming temperatures from one side for thicknesses of up to .250" and from two sides for thicknesses greater than .250". FBG heaters are provided with a protective Ceran face for bottom heat applications. Dwell times and power consumption is greatly reduced over other methods. No reflector heaters, no maintenance with average life expectancy in excess of 25,000 hours.

Complete control systems with graphic computer operator interfaces are available to store recipes for each product and to automatically setup zone control. Product transport systems, load and unload systems are also available.

- Catalytic Gas Infrared Systems

Casso-Solar Catalytic Gas Infrared Heating systems provide the economy of lower fuel costs with natural gas or propane. Large area modular flat panel heaters provide energy from above the product. Closed loop control with larger zone sizes that with electric.

* Heat Film for Stretching and/or Annealing

- Stretching Film after the Extruder

Using Casso-Solar Unitube, Unitube II, Type C or C+ heaters, provide high energy levels within confined space limits into machine direction stretching sections of film lines. Heater banks are placed between pull roll sections. Zone control, easy access for system servicing, rapid response are all part of a Casso-Solar System. Complete SCR control systems available.

- Anneal Film - Even Multiple Layered of Dissimilar Materials

Through a proven technique, Casso-Solar can provide energy uniformly to surface layers and inner layers of multiple ply film, bringing the material to its anneal temperature and holding it at temperature with either IR or a combination IR/Convection oven.

* Plastic Welding

Custom designed heaters allow for the welding of tubular pipes together, pipes to flanges, forming flanges on the ends of pipes, product bodies to end caps, etc. Works with all plastic materials including fluorocarbons. Custom designed.

* Shrink Wrap Systems

Single station, indexing and conveyorized systems with combinations of infrared and convection, depending on part to be packaged. Custom designed.
