IR radiation driers: well-known and economical

R-unit for drying coated panes of glass with an air cooler fitted behind it with an integrated rod transport conveyor

The infra-red radiation is one method of warming in which the energy is transmitted by electro-magnetic radiation (thermal radiation).

Depending on the aims and on the demands of the layout infra-red systems can be variously employed. IR-radiation driers are especially suitable for the following applications:

• Thermal treatment of material surfaces
• Heating and melting of outer skins
• Drying of coatings

Technical differences

Electro-IR radiator

• For the whole IR-range of applications (including "near" IR)
• Large range of power output with an even emission over a wide area (working width)
• Support of energy transfer as well as drying by convection
• Simply designed and clean installations
• Any number of fitting positions

Gas heated IR-radiators

• Conventionally used for the long and medium-wave length IR-range
• Short-wave length radiators can be used with convection
• High flexibility of the radiator design by employing relatively small individual burners (suited to variable working widths)
• High mechanical robustness
