More Information
 | Infrared heat is an excellent non-contact heat source and is thus used in applications involving delicate surfaces, for pre-heating, softening, curing and drying. Infrared heaters transfer their radiant energy without making physical contact and are thus used in applications involving delicate surfaces, vacuum or moving product. Since infrared heaters (IR heaters) transfer heat by infrared light, gasses from solvents or steam can be freely extracted without loss of energy. Unitemp offers both Ceramic as well as Quartzglass Infrared Emitters: |

These elements emit in the short- to medium wave spectrum, transferring heating energy fast, cleanly and efficiently. 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. More info on Quartzglass heaters
| These elements emit in the medium- to long wave spectrum, producing a gentle and even heat. Typical Applications: Plastics: vacuum forming, pre-heating, softening of pipe ends before shaping, softening of Perspex before bending and heating of plastic surfaces to remove scratch marks. Packaging: to dry inks, to soften hotmelt glues, to preheat bags before sealing and for shrink wrapping. |
