  • Plastics are coated, laminated or embossed. Plastic parts are welded, riveted or deburred.
  • This is time-consuming and the necessary heating processes cost a lot of energy. It's good when the energy works exactly where it's needed.
  • Electric infrared emitters can be precisely adjusted. Even complex heating processes can be automated.
  • Infrared systems ensure that energy is not wasted by preheating or standby. Losses to the environment are minimized.

Heraeus Noblelight is presenting UV technology, infrared emitters and systems that make industrial processes more energy efficient at the Fakuma in Friedrichshafen.

Infrared heat - emitters for targeted heat processing of plastics materials

Heraeus Noblelight at Fakuma 2017

Heat plays a central role in processing plastics, especially thermoplastics. It is used for

 Welding

 De-burring

 Forming

 Curing

The use of infrared heat opens up many options for the direct transfer of heat into the manufacturing process.

At Fakuma, Heraeus Noblelight presents effective and efficient specialty light sources and infrared systems for processing and deburring plastic tubes.

UV curing for plastic decorating and coating

UV curing of decoration for plastics parts

UV curable inks and coatings improve both appearance and performance of plastic products. Typically plastic parts are pretreated to improve adhesion of the UV ink or coating. UV decorating inks are printed and then UV cured.
