Infrared Radiation...

•  has due to the specific features
   a varied and individual range of applications.
•  depending on the wave length of the light can
   be divided into long-wave, medium-wave, fast
   response medium-wave, short-wave and
   near-UV infrared.
•  used in countless applications in Plastics-,
   Chemical-, Printing-, Wood-, Metal-, Paper-,
   Textile-, Food- and Automotive Industries.
•  can be absorbed directly, reflected or transmitted
   through the body. All this depending upon the
   material's nature. That's why it is essentially  
   important to find out the optimal emitter type for
   your specific heating purpose.
•  and temperature gradients produce a controllable
   energy output, adjusted to match the heating
   requirements.
•  the heating modules as well as the controlling
   and measuring technique are optimally designed.
   This guarantees optimum efficiency and quality.
•  offers a wide range of possibilities to match
   temperature profiles with customer's needs.
   The heat region zoning saves energy and money.

Provides following benefits...

•   the process is economical and allows
    highly efficient heating processes.
•   is a clean electrical heat source.
•   is fast and immediately ready to use.
•   is compact and has a small footprint.
•   high heating up rates, due to the large power
    densities.
•   an individually shaped and targeted heat section.
•   requires no contact with the material.
•   repeatable results can be achieved for consistent
    process outputs.

Infrared radiation...

•   is divided into different ranges according to
    the wavelength of the light: long wave,
    medium wave, short wave and near
    UV infrared light.
•   customized for industrial applications.
    The diagram on the left shows the most productive
    wavelength coverage of 1 - 4 µm.
•   and the different designs and burning temperatures
    of the heating filament on infrared emitters.
    Medium Wave Infrared Emitters:
    Filament temperature: approx. 850 °C
    Emissions maximum: 2,0-2,6 µ­m
    Star Shape Infrared Emitters:
    Filament temperature: up to 1400°C
    Emissions maximum: 1,8-2,2 µ­m
    Fast Medium Wave Infrared Emitters:
    Filament temperature: up to 1600 °C 
    Emissions maximum: 1,4-1,9 µ­m
    ( Filament in Star Shape design )
    Short Wave Emitters
    ( filled with argon gas ):
    Filament temperature: up to 2100 °C
    Emissions maximum: 0,9-1,6 µ­m
    Short Wave Emitters
    ( filled with halogen gas ):
    Filament temperature: above 2500 °C
    Emissions maximum: 0,8-1,6 µ­m

Heating up of plastic by infrared...

During the heating up process it should be
considered that...

•   only the appropriate emitter-type achieve
    efficient and economically advantageous.
•   Absorption-Diagram right:
    Material:  Polyethylen  0,1 mm
    As shown purple
    Material: PVC 0,02 mm
    As shown blue
    Wave length range: 1 - 4 µ­m
    Substantial effect of the infared emitter: 3,2 - 3,8 µ­m
•   physically seen, the emission behavior should,
    as accurately as, match the absorption behavior.
    The diagram shows that the directly usable
    portions of the radiating power obtain a higher
    efficiency if the emission maximum of an infrared
    emitter is as congruent as possible with the curves
    represented in purple or in blue.
•   the red curve represents short wave emitters,
    in light blue is drawn the spectrum Star Shape
    emitters and the dark blue curve  shows 
    medium wave emitter types.

Drying water-based paint by infrared...

During the drying process it should be
considered that...

•   only the appropriate emitter-type achieve
    efficient and economically advantageous.
•   Absorption-Diagram left:
    Water, as shown aquamarin.
    Wave length range: 1 - 4 µm
    Substantial effect of the infared emitter: 2,5 - 3,5µm
•   physically seen, the emission behavior should,
    as accurately as, match the absorption behavior.
    The diagram shows that the directly usable
    portions of the radiating power obtain a higher
    efficiency if the emission maximum of an infrared
    emitter is as congruent as possible with the
    in aquamarin represented curve.
•   the red curve represents short wave emitters,
    in light blue is drawn the spectrum Star Shape
    emitters and the dark blue curve  shows 
    medium wave emitter types.
