Infrared heaters allow optimum matching

Heraeus Noblelight produces a range of infrared heaters with various spectra. Short wave infrared radiation penetrates more deeply into materials. By contrast, medium wave radiation is absorbed more strongly at the surface and into thin films. The output wavelength of infrared will significantly influence the efficiency of the heating process. Perfectly matched infrared heaters can allow energy savings of up to 50%. Infrared heating technology transfers large amounts of energy in a short time. Heaters are available for large surfaces, for three dimensional shapes and for small work pieces. By matching infrared heaters to individual applications, heating and drying processes can be integrated seamlessly into processing operations. In addition, infrared technology can be fitted with little expenditure into existing manufacturing lines. shortwave twintube heater

Short Wave Infrared Heaters

Short wave infrared radiation has high heating power. Short wave lamps are particularly well-suited for processes that require quick start-up and shut-off, since they achieve their full operating efficiency within seconds. Heraeus Noblelight has designed infrared heaters in the highly stable and application-proven twin tube format. Twin tube lamps are notable for their high radiation density and high power intensity. A gold reflector (using Heraeus's patented "Figure 8" technology), fitted directly to the emitter, directs the infrared radiation onto the object to be heated. The result exhibits greatly improved efficiency compared to plate reflectors.

Fast and Intensive

Shortwave IR heaters from Heraeus are suitable for all applications in which the attainment of high temperatures in the shortest possible time is what counts. Their emission maximum is between 0.9 and 1.6µ.

Heater Performance Advantages
