Infrared heat for metal processing - preheating, coatings, reflow-processes

Protective lacquer curing on metal sheets, topcoat drying on casings, preheating before alloy or reflow processes - the processing of metal parts requires many heat processes. It is worthwhile to pay attention to the energy efficiency of the heat source.

Infrared heat for metal processing

Infrared emitters are precisely adjusted to the product and process. This is important because the properties of the products have a major influence on the heating. Flat sheets or solid blocks heat up at different rates. High-gloss metals reflect very strongly, while dark surfaces absorb the heat very well. Medium-wave emitters dry faster on the surface, while short-wave emitters penetrate deeper.

Your advantages with Infrared:

  • Exactly matched infrared emitters save time, space and energy
  • Infrared emitters have a high reliability
  • Precise control - switch on and off quickly
