Infrared elements

Can be used in vacuum and air flow environments

DESCRIPTION

Infrared elements are the most effective and price acceptable solutions for numerous industrial processes wherever heat is transfered by radiation. Infra red heat is a form of electromagnetic radiation thus wave lengths of IR waves are essential. Wave length of the element determines maximum temperature, depth of penetration into heated object and response time. Elektrotermija offers several types of IR elements, ceramic, quartz glass and halogen elements as well as appropriate accesories. IR elements are used for drying, curing, thermoforming, baking and other processes where a substantial amount of heat is needed instantly or in short period of time.

APPLICATIONS

  • Plastic softening, thermoforming, blowing and laminating
  • Rubber, glass and textile industry
  • Paper industry, screen printing, curing for glue and printing ink
  • Food baking, cooking grills, microwave ovens
  • Packaging industry, vacuum packaging
  • Car painting, preheating before painting
  • Drying of varnish, laquer, epoxy resins, etc.
  • Space heaters, electric fires, saunas
  • Sterilization
