The DriQuik™ QuikLITE™ Electric Halogen Short Wavelength Low Density Oven provides a cost-effective and rapid response curing solution for lower temperature applications and dimensionally complex parts. Even heat patterning produced by the halogen bulb based emitters and dual reflector system make the QuikLITE™ an ideal choice for use on heat sensitive substrates, such as those found in the woodworking industry. Instant on/off response times make the QuikLITE™ "substrate friendly" with no fear of heat damage during line stoppages.
It is most effective in applications that require surface temperatures in the 100°F to 180°F range, such as solvent or water based finishing systems, and is particularly effective on wood or plastic substrates. The QuikLITE™ is typically used in both low and medium infrared density applications where finesse controls and precise temperature control are essential, such as wet coat solvent base curing, wet coat waterborne curing and heated flash-off systems.
Features and benefits include:
- emitter features a transparent quartz bulb with a tungsten (T-3) filament and a built-in high temperature ceramic primary reflector, creating a long life near (short) wave infrared lamp
- emitter adheres to the "Halogen Cycle" - a chemical reaction whereby evaporated tungsten particles are returned to the filament, which minimizes blackening of the bulb wall and/or thinning of the tungsten filament
- "Dual Reflector" system featurs emitter with built-in primary ceramic-backed relfector and is mounted within an anodized extruded aluminum secondary reflector, enabling efficient the focus of virtually all the near (short) wave infrared heat
- heater assembly dimensions of 5 1/4" H x 29 1/4" L x 2 3/4" D; heater assembly includes a single 2500W bulb, a fully adjustable reflector and is protected by a removable aluminum mesh guard
- standard front-loading design for convenient access, including "quik-snap" emitter technology for easy maintenance
- emitter assemblies are flush mount within the interior oven wall; walls are comprised of 20-gauge, bright annealed 430 stainless steel panels, which provide a highly durable reflective surface that effectively redirects radiant energy toward the substrate
- air vents typically located between emitter assemblies evenly disburse recirculated air across the surface of the substrate
