IR in Roofing Materials Manufacturing
Manufacturers of construction materials around the world use infrared technology for their processes. Roffing products manufacturers are just one of many industries using IR to make their processes more efficient. Here are a few examples.
- A manufacturer of colorfast roofing tiles installed mediumwave infrared heaters from Heraeus Noblelight. The manufacturing process includes fusing a dense layer of pigmented amalgam to the body of the tile, followed by application of polymer protective layers. IR is used to dry the water-based acrylic coatings because of its targeted properties: heat is applied only where it is needed. The wax applied to the underside of the tiles (to prevent scratching during shipment) is not heated by the IR lamps.
- A manufacturer of roofing felt required a means to heat the bitumen in its product. A primary layer of bitumen is preheated prior to application of a second layer. A modular infrared heat system from Heraerus Noblelight achieved the process, and prevented delamination of the product.

- A company that fabricates wooden roofing panels replaced its longwave heating oven with modular infrared heaters from Heraeus Noblelight. the new system elimninates fire hazards, allows a smaller area to be dedicated to the heating process, and provides better adhestion of the roofing product's insulating foam.
Heraeus Noblelight's application engineers work closely with you to develop a solution that meets your specific needs. Infrared heat is an effective and efficient means of applying process heat in many other industries.
