IR emitter

infraredfixedcoating

Overview
Excelitas infrared (IR) boosters augment existing drying lines to accelerate heating and support higher production speeds. Typically installed upstream of a dryer or oven, the IR booster rapidly raises product temperature to reduce required drying or curing time by up to 50% in some processes.

Function and integration
The choice of booster type depends on product geometry and process parameters. Configurations include electrical IR boosters mounted before hot-air ovens, IR modules combined with conventional infrared ovens, or hybrid arrangements. Boosters commonly incorporate Golden 8 infrared emitters to deliver targeted heat with high stability. Noblelight application centers provide testing and simulation to validate performance prior to installation.

Features

• Reduce process time by accelerating heating
