COAT DRYING TECHNOLOGY |
Electric Infrared Energy is an excellent, efficient energy source for most Coated Materials and Basic Plastic Materials (sheet and film).
- The Infrared Energy is Radiated Directly on to the Surface where the Energy is Dispersed Depth-Wise through the Coating.
- The Degree of Depth Dispersion relates to the Material Composition, the Percent of Pigmentation, the Coat Thickness and the Temperature (Wavelength) of the Emitting Source.
- Wave length Effect on Energy Absorbtion:
- The Energy Wave length is established by the Emitter(source)Temperature.
- The Higher the Temperature, the Shorter the Wave length.
- Standard Quartz Heating Lamps (T-3 type) emit in the Short Wave length Spectrum while operating at Half Rated Volage.
- Quartz Tube Type Electrical Infrared Heaters deliver Medium Wave length Radiated Energy.
- Ribbon and Foil Type Element Electric Infrared Heaters deliver Medium and Long Wave length Radiated Energy
- Black Body Panel Type Electric Infrared Heaters deliver Long Wave length Radiated Energy.
- metal Sheathed Type Electric Infrared Heaters deliver Long Wave length Radiated Energy

| COAT DRYING TECHNOLOGY (con't) |
Short Wave length Energy Sources offer very Deep Penetration through the coating of the part.
- Energy is Released as it Passes Through the Coating into the product. This Enhances the Wetting Action of the coating onto the product.
- In Powder Coat Applications, the heating of the part permits the Rapid Gelling of the powder and Improved Wetting onto the part.
- In Wet Coat Applications, the heating of the part permits the Driving Out of the Moisture from the Inside with Minimal Blistering of the coating.
- These advantages result in Very High Heating Rates offering a much Shorter Oven Length.
Medium Wave lenght Energy Sources offer Moderate Depth of Penetration through the coating of the part.
- Most of the Penetrating Energy is Absorbed in the coating. This feature is ideal for Holding the coating at Curing Temperature after it has been Pre-Heated such as Curing Coatings on Plastic parts. This Minimizes the possibility of distorting the part.
Long Wave length Energy Sources offer No Depth of Penetration.
- All Radiated Energy is Absorbed Totally on the Surface. Any internal heating of the coating must be conducted in, requiring Extended Time for processing and Longer Oven Lengths.
Multi-Wave length Energy Sources offer a wide Spectrum of various Wave lengths for Optomizing Process Performance.
- These frequencies are Variable and may be Ajusted to improve Efficiency(Proprietary).
- Processing Recommendations:
- Utilize Short Wave length Energy for Pre-Heating applications.
- Utilize Medium Wave length Energy for Curing or Holding Temperatures.
- Utilize Long Wave length Energy for Curing as an Option to Medium Wave lengths.
