Infrared Heating Technology with IR lamps transfers large amounts of energy in a short time. Not only thin foils and large surface areas but also solid, small or complex geometry work pieces can be heated up very quickly. Because infrared heaters can be individually matched to a particular application, heating and drying processes can be seamlessly integrated within finishing operations – and with minimum disruption to existing manufacturing lines. IR heaters allow optimum matching. Infrared emitters are available in different forms matched to different requirements: short wave heaters for deep penetration or medium wave heaters for rapid heat-up of surfaces and thin films. The wavelength at which infrared is emitted significantly influences the effectiveness of the heating process. Perfectly matched IR heaters can allow overall energy savings of up to 50%.

Twin tube emitters distinguish themselves by their exceptional stability and high power density. Fast response medium wave heaters can be supplied in all lengths up to around 6 m. Consequently, it is possible to transfer high power over long lengths. The IR heaters offer long operating life. Gold reflectors double the effective emitted radiation. The emitters transfer heat at a medium wave spectrum and are thus particularly suitable for drying processes. The high absorption by surface layers and films makes them particularly applicable to thin materials, while the fact that they also have a penetrative effect fits them for use in plastics processing. The infrared lamps can be switched on and off in seconds and are consequently best suited for processes with short cycle times.

Features:

  • Twin tube emitter, tube format 34 x 14mm
  • Filament temperature 1500 – 1800 °C
  • Peak wavelength 1.4 – 1.6 µm
  • Maximum current 16 A
  • Mean power density 45 W/cm
  • Maximum surface power 120 kW/m2
  • Standard infrared heaters are designed for horizontal operation, and are modified for vertical operation.
  • IR heaters are available in various designs and can be one-side and two-side connected.
  • A gold coating of the infrared lamps ensures that the effective radiation is virtually doubled.

INFRARED HEATERS AND THEIR PROPERTIES - Come to the experts!

Short Wave, Twin Tube Emitters are comparable in spectrum to, and slightly longer in wavelength than halogen infrared lamps.

Fast Response, Medium Wave IR heaters are twin tube heaters with a spectrum between short wave and standard medium wave infrared heaters.

Carbon IR heaters use a carbon ribbon as the heating element.

Medium Wave IR heaters distinguish themselves by being highly efficient and stable while having a long operating life.

Infrared heaters for Targeted Heat are designed to heat small components, part surfaces or curved surfaces.
