Infrared Heat for some industrial applications

Lots of industrial production need heating or drying, it's better to use infrared heat technology as a heating solution. Whether it's a simple drying process or a more complex one, the industrial infrared heating tube can offer more benefits than other heat sources cannot.

Advantages of using an infrared heating emitter include:

1. Short heating times with maximum efficiency

2. Easy to control and replace

3. High operational reliability

4. Long average lifespan

5. Fast full heat output

6. Space-saving, maintenance-friendly installation

7. Low running costs

8. Customized according to industrial production

What is infrared heating technology?

Infrared heating is a radiative heat-transferring form. It uses electromagnetic waves that come from the source to its target. An electrical current has to be passed through a metallic element to generate heat from infrared. The infrared energy’s wavelength generated mainly depends on the thickness of the heating element and the material used. For example, short wave quartz infrared lamp, medium wave infrared heating tubes,carbon fiber infrared elements, fast medium wave IR emitters

Infrared Heat for some industrial applications

Most of industrial processes need heating, drying, or curing to increase the quality of products, and many of those applications are well-suited to using infrared heat from simple drying processes to more complex forming processes and beyond. 

Deburring, Joining, Molding, Embossing, Laminating, Thermoforming of Plastic

Modern plastic materials like foils, plastic films, paper, or nonwovens often need infrared heating lamps for laminating, embossing, or drying the coatings. Infrared heating systems with precise controls offer many advantages, including uniform heating and the ability to enable fast production speeds. In addition, the heating of peripheral zones avoids heat drop at the edges, and the quick response time of infrared emitters protects the web materials from heat damage in case of a sudden conveyor stop. By the way, quartz infrared heaters for plastic can be customized according to product shape so that the whole surface is quickly and homogeneously heated. Saving cost and energy.

Drying of Coatings, Paints, and Varnishes

Coatings are suitable for various materials, including metals, plastics, glass, plastic, and medium-density fiberboard (MDF), and can provide both functional and decorative surface coatings in a wide range of colors, styles, finishes, and textures. There are lots of paints, varnishes, and other coatings that need heat to dry such as wood board paint drying, metal paint drying, plastic film substrate drying, leather coating drying, glass power coating drying and etc. Infrared quartz for coating dry water-based coatings efficiently, and they can speed up the melting of powder coatings, too.

Annealing, Screen Printing, Bending, Laminating, Cutting

Most glass processing activities need heat to produce high-quality glass products for commercial, residential, and industrial applications. To make glass to the required specifications, glass manufacturers must employ several heating processes that deliver the precise wavelength of energy that suits the particular process, such as Annealing, Screen Printing, Bending, Laminating, and Cutting. Infrared element for glass provide excellent conditions to deliver efficient solutions for these processes.

Heating and Drying of Textiles and Fabrics

Textile manufacturing and processing involve lots of heating and drying. All these heating and drying requirements can be easily met by employing fast response Infrared heating lamps, High-value, and technical textiles must be fixed reliably and qualitatively, and coatings on fabrics and materials need to be dried as quickly as possible. as infrared can transfer high heating power in very short times. This helps to reduce energy consumption, to increase production speeds, and to lower production costs.

Drying and activating Adhesives

Many adhesives require heat: Water and water-based glues and adhesives are dried, and other adhesives are activated. Infrared heat is an ideal way to dry adhesives because it provides a clean, quick, non-contact, and responsive heat source, Infrared radiation emitters transfer heat especially efficiently and can considerably accelerate heating processes.

Infrared Heaters for Batteries Processing

Batteries are an essential part of life, Infrared drying and curing are important parts of batteries production, such as: dry and cure solvent-based coatings on Al and Cu screens for Lithium Batteries, dry and Cure coatings on Cu and Al screens with Nitrogen purged Infrared Oven, dry and cure coatings for making rechargeable Nickel Cadmium Batteries, dry calendered Anode and Cathode sheets for Nickel Zinc Batteries, dry, cure and sinter Teflon Manganese coatings on Al  screen for Lithium Batteries, ovens for making Nickel Metal Hydride batteries, cure coatings on paper for battery separators

These are just some infrared emitters type for industrial applications and many other areas that require infrared heating, too. Many of our cases show that infrared heat technology is beneficial for industrial processing.
