Infrared heat process in the glass industry

Drying screen print on car windows, cutting laminated glass or coating mirrors - many glass processing activities require heat. Infrared heat provides excellent conditions to deliver efficient solutions for these processes.

Infrared heat process in the glass industry

For example, with the right infrared emitter, you can direct heat exclusively to the foil inside laminated glass without heating the entire pane. Infrared emitters are also ideal for tempering as they can be controlled accurately to enable precise temperature profiles.

Your advantages with infrared heat:

  • Medium-wave infrared radiation is optimal for the absorption of glass.
  • Gold reflector on the emitters directs the heat precisely to that part of the product which is to be heated.
  • Infrared emitters are precisely adjusted to the material and process.
  • This saves time, energy and costs.

Infrared oven as a substitute for hot water and vapour enables substantial energy saving.

Infrared systems for decorational coating of fragrance bottles

Infrared systems for decorational coating of fragrance bottles

Toilet waters and perfumes are not filled into simple bottles but into flasks refined by various decorations or coatings. At Stoelzle Flaconnage, a Noblelight carbon infrared oven helps to dry sprayed-on organic paint on highly decorative perfume bottles significantly faster.
