Infrared Heating Ovens : More Productive Heating

Infra red heating ovens help in improving the energy efficiency and productivity in industrial plants which perform process heating. In the case of Progressive Powder, the the IR ovens generates the heat thereby enabling e to pre-gel and cure many types of products before they entered the convection oven. This overall enable the plant to increase its production and reduce its energy consumption as pieces did not have to spend time in the convection oven to become fully cured.

Since IR oven can pre-gel the powder coating before the piece enters the convection oven there is minimal possibility of lost powder by the conveyor. This has led to more consistent product quality and fewer products that have to be rejected or reworked. Moreover as some pieces can be fully cured in the IR oven, less natural gas is required by the convection oven. It should be noted that the IR oven does not use blowers or fans, due to which the plant's electricity consumption is unchanged from before the IR oven's installation.

Benefits

• Cost Effective
• Enhances Production
• Quality of the product is improve
• Natural gas consumption is reduced

What Is Natural Gas Catalytic Infrared?
It is a flame less heating technology that produces a uniform, low intensity heat. Different range of materials including powder paints, readily and evenly absorbs its medium- to long-wavelength energy. It is the infrared light wavelength which determines the temperature the source will receive. The shorter the wavelength, the higher the source temperature. Using different wavelengths of light in the IR spectrum band is adjusted in Natural gas IR heating.

The technology works by a diffusion process in which the natural gas and air meet at a catalyst sandwiched between two layers. The layer is formed by air and natural gas, in a counter diffusion mode. As the heat is transferred through radiation only the surface of the part and the powder must be heated rather than the whole part. The absence of blowers has its own advantage. This enables the ovens to consume less energy as compared to convection oven. Moreover it also safe and environment friendly.
