A rollforming manufacturer replaced its gas-heated air oven with a conveyorized oven using shortwave infrared lamps from Heraeus Noblelight. The process involves softening paint on PU-coated steel sheets prior to rollforming. The new system uses a fraction of the floorspace the previous oven, and provides lower oprtation and maintenance costs.

These examples are by no means a complete list. Infrared heat is an effective and efficient means of applying process heat in many other applications.
