The optimum heat management of the RDS lacquer dryer with upper and lower heaters works with infrared radiation (IR) and/or convection to dry a wide range of materials reliably. By implementing these two heat transfer processes, the systems are optimally designed for the processing of lacquers and castings containing solvents. The exceptional thermal insulation of heating zones and the individually adjustable temperatures allow for optimum profiling of your drying processes – which are perfectly adapted to the requirements of the products. In the drying phase, the temperature is maintained until the material has hardened completely. A stronger convection is needed for this, as the evaporating solvents need to be discharged. After the drying process, the warm process atmosphere is extracted. Despite this, the component still has an outlet temperature of around 60°C. A separate air or water-cooled cooling unit is available as an option here and can be used to achieve significantly lower temperatures.
When drying using the convection process, the process atmosphere is heated up using a hot-air fan and then flows onto the components. The heating elements are attached above and below the transport system. The flow speeds of the upper and lower heating zones are individually adjustable so that the assembly is heated through evenly. This prevents tension in the material.
In the combination heating process, the heat transfer is carried out with infrared radiation, which is supported by central convection heating. All heating chambers are equipped with high-performance IR radiators.
