Infrared ovens used in many industrial applications have several advantages. Heat transfer is simple — it requires no contact with the material and no intermediate medium such as air or water. Infrared transmits high power — even irregularly-shaped items heat in seconds. The heating process fits in easily with the manufacturing process — by appropriate choice of the IR heater or heater module, heating can match the process speed. The process is economical — the correct IR heater selection allows high efficient heating. Moreover, the heat loss is small, since the radiation is directed at the process material. Infrared processes are compact, generally having a smaller footprint in the factory. Infrared heat can be targeted exactly where it is required. Large surfaces can be heated in exactly the same way as small parts, curved surfaces or solid plastic materials. Infrared radiation is safe and can be easily switched on and off. Targeted infrared is an innovative use of a traditional, reliable technology. Targeted heating allows new finishing processes to be developed.

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.
