Quartzglass Infrared Heaters

More Information

Infrared heat is transferred without making physical contact and is thus used in applications involving delicate surfaces, vacuum or moving product.
Since heat is transferred by infrared light, gasses from solvents or steam can be freely extracted without loss of energy.
To achieve optimum results it is important that the infrared emitter is carefully matched to the properties of the product in terms of wavelength, shape and power output.

Quartz glass infrared elements emit in the short- to medium wave spectrum, transferring heating energy fast, cleanly and efficiently. They are indispensable in many modern industrial processes for drying, curing, melting, softening, shrinking and stretching of foils, laminates, coatings and fabric.

Quartz glass emitters with reflective gold plating are particularly efficient, virtually doubling the heat concentration on the product.

Unitemp designs and manufactures Infrared heating arrays to suit customers requirements.

Typical applications:

Plastics:
for welding, pre-heating, softening and melting of plastic material.


Packaging:
for drying or softening (hotmelt) of adhesives, shrinking and stretching of films, gelation of sealing pastes, preheating of sealing areas.

Paper and Textile:
for setting, hardening, drying and curing of fabric and inks.


Paint:
For accelerated drying of paint and for melting of powder-coating.

Chemical:
To keep granular substances dry, to preheat and to initiate heat sensitive processes.
