Infrared for industrial heating processes

Your heat processes are to be as efficient as possible, automatable and space saving.
At the push of a button. With infrared solutions, you can achieve exactly this.

Infrared heat for industrial processes

Whether engine blocks, plastic housings, mirrors or carpets: there is hardly any part in industrial manufacturing that does not need to be heated at least once.
The heat must be applied at precisely the right time during the process and must not impair the efficiency of the work flow. Infrared systems adapt perfectly to highly specialised processes. They heat without contact, with high power and within seconds.
Some innovative heat processes are even made possible in the first place by infrared systems.
Thanks to its versatility, infrared heat is used for coating, welding, drying and curing.

Here some application examples:

Heating bioplastics for chocolate packagings prior to thermoforming

Heating bioplastics for chocolate packagings prior to thermoforming

Plantic Technologies Ltd. has developed and patented a bioplastic made of starch from not genetically engineered corn plants. The corn starch foil is used to make trays, blisters and sorting inserts in chocolate packagings. Infrared heat helps to heat the foil prior to deep-drawing.

Controlled alloying of slide bearings with infrared emitters

Controlled alloying of slide bearings with infrared emitters

In some bearings, an alloy of tin, copper and antimony helps reduce friction to improve their sliding properties. Infrared heat helps to apply the metal alloy to the base metal mould to achieve a good flow and adhesion of the alloy.

Infrared heat helps release the tension of hoses

Your advantages with infrared heat

Infrared radiation transmits energy without contact in a very short space of time. The high heat transmission capacity helps keep infrared modules small and compact, which enables fast retrofitting and saves valuable space.

Infrared emitters are adjusted precisely to product and process. If radiation wavelength, power output and even the shape of the emitters are matched precisely to the heat process, it becomes reproducible. This enables automation.

Infrared emitters react to control commands within seconds. This generates heat at the push of a button, exactly where and just as long as it is needed. This saves time, space and energy.
