Short wave infrared emitter
0.5 - 8 kW, 270 - 1 480 mm | IRE-L series Optron GmbH

Type IRE _ L

Optron's infrared emitters IRX und IRE are compact, short wave emitter units with a high performance in
industrial drying processes.
Maximum spectral emission of shortwave IR-emitters is around 1.2μm.
An integrated fan keeps the casing's temperature at an optimal level. The emitters are designed to be easily
mounted and combined to create any possible emitter field. Compared to middle or long wave emitters, short
wave technology offers clear advantages, for example in lacquer-drying. The shortwave energy penetrates
the lacquer coating and dries it from the inside. This means being able to work with higher performance
output without having to risk bubble formation- which results in a shorter drying time.
Our IR-modules work with IR-emitters arranged in a line
for applications with irradiation distances from 40 to 60 cm.
Advantages of IR-emitter arranged in a line:
- Sectional switchable IR-emitters (connectable zones)
- Higher vibration resistance cause of shorter IR-emitters
