INFRARED (IR) HEATER APPLICATIONS
The list of application for Heraeus infrared heaters is limited only by your imagination. Below are specific examples of popular applications.
Appliance Manufacture - Manufacture of white goods (including washers, dryers etc. incoporates many heat-related processes (including thermoforming). Infrared technology is at the forefront of heat solutions for these applications.
Automotive Infrared Heater Applications - Motor vehicles need fast, precise and accessible heat for many different processing operations during their manufacture. IR heaters from Heraeus Noblelight can carry out these heating operations efficiently and exactly matched to the product and process.
Carpet Manufacture - Curing of the latex backing on carpets can be achieved effieciently through use of infrared heat.
Digital Printing/Narrow Web Infrared Heater Applications- Carbon heaters dramatically improve production capacity while reducing electrical consumption in sheetfed offset printing.
Flexo Printing - A versatile method of printing that allows printing of a wide array of ink types onto a wide variety of materials, flexo printing can benefit from infrared heat. IR provides a consistent and efficeint means of heating.
Flooring Manufacture - Production of laminates, wood panels and other flooring materials all require process heat. Infrared technology is an efficient means of delivering heat; among other benefits, line speeds can be increased.
Food Infrared Heater Applications - Applications include melting chocolate, flaking almonds, browning cheese, cooking sausages, more.
Glass Infrared Heater Applications - Many process stages in glass
processing need heat. In an increasing
number of cases, infrared heating
technology offers excellent provision for solving the heating problems in these process stages, effectively and
efficiently.
Metal Infrared Heater Applications - Applicaitons include curing, coating, moisture removal, more.
Packaging - Manufacture of packaging materials often requires process heat. Infrared technology has many successful applications in this area.
Paper Infrared Heater Applications - Infrared heaters aid in the processes of curing and drying.
Plastics Infrared Heater Applications - Heraeus Noblelight manufactures
lamps for the complete technical light
spectrum from ultraviolet to infrared.
Many ultraviolet heaters are used for plastics processing.
Plastics Heat Staking - IR can be a beneficial replacement for certain traditional hot-plate and vibration welding applications.
Plastics Welding - This section includes streaming video of an application.
Powder Coating - This is the process of application of dry paints to parts, with a result that is comparable to wet paint. The process lends itself to infrared heating, since an oven is requred to melt the electrostatically-charged paint particles, melting them into a continuos coating/film.
Roofing Materials Manufacture - Infrared process heat aids in the fabrication of roof shingles and panels for the construction industry.
Semiconductors Infrared Heater Applications Infrared Radiation is a reliable heat source for many industrial heating processes. Infrared heating technology transfers large amounts of energy in a short time. It helps saving energy as it can be easily switched on and off.
Textile Infrared Heater Applications - Manufacturing processes in the textiles industry require
heat in various production operations. Infrared heaters and
modules from Heraeus Noblelight are reliable and efficient.
Ultra-Pure Water Infrared Heater Applications - Infrared heaters are made of quartz glass, highly pure and
heat resitant. Heraeus Noblelight developed a heater that
integrates the fluid path into the quartz glass heater. This
gives the possibility to heat a wide range of fluids such as
ultra pure deionized water without contamination.
Vacuum - Infrared heating technology requires no contact with the material and no intermediate medium such as air or water. Heraeus can modify heaters to operate under vacuum conditions. These can be produced with individual sockets, leads and voltages.
Web Process/Converting Drying, gelling, melting, heating...the applications for the converting processes are many.
Wood Infrared Heater Applications - Coatings on wood need to be dried quickly but with care. Wood is treated with a wide range of different coatings before it reaches the end user. Base coatings, varnishes or powder coatings need to be dried as quickly as possible, whilst ensuring that there is no damage to the wood.
This requirement is best achieved with infrared technology.
