Electric Infrared Process Heating System

Electric infrared processing systems are used for many applications such as heating, drying, curing, thermal-bonding, sintering, and sterilizing applications by manufacturing companies. Most common application of the electric infrared is in which only the surface of an object needs to be heated.
Infrared is the part of the electromagnetic spectrum that falls between visible light and radio waves. Infrared wavelengths range from 0.8 to 10 microns. Infrared energy, can be transmitted, absorbed, and reflected, like light and this is possible only when the object being heated is in line-of-sight of the emitters and/or reflector. Few infrared systems designed for to cure coatings that are not in line of sight.
A typical electric infrared heating systems will always consist of an emitter, a reflector system, and controls. Electric infrared systems are also consisting of a material handling system and a ventilation system. IR systems have capability to process (dry or cure) a product in very little span of time.
Electric infrared system is more suitable of flat product’s heating, drying and curing, reason being the characteristic of infrared which heats the surface of product and the penetrates the heat within the deep of product. Product with complex or uneven or hidden surface requires hybrid IR systems with convection oven or material handling systems.
Common industrial applications of infrared are:

  • Adhesive Drying
  • Annealing and Curing of Rubber
  • Drying of Parts (Coated with Paints or Varnishes)
  • Drying Textiles and Paper
  • Drying Coatings On Steel and Aluminium Coil
  • Ink Curing
  • Moulding Plastics
  • Power Coating Curing
  • Shrink Wrapping
  • Silk Screening
Electric infrared processing system is even used in the application that requires direct-fired and fuel-fired heating. Hybrid electric system are another type of heat processing systems that is comprises of IR in conjunction with conventional or any other type of electromagnetic.
We at Kerone are having more than four decades of experience in designing various type of IR and hybrid processing system.

Different Types of Sterilization Process

  Sterilization can be accomplished by an amalgamation of heat, chemicals, irradiation, high pressure and filtration such as steam under pressure, dry heat, ultraviolet radiation, gas vapour sterilants, chlorine dioxide gas etc. Successful sterilization strategies are necessary for working in a lab and negligence of this could lead to severe consequences, it could unexpectedly cost a life. So what are the more frequently utilized methods of sterilization in the laboratory, and how do they work? The Sterilization is conveyed out by the methods according to requirement. The methods are: 1. Moist Heat Sterilization 2. Dry Heat Sterilization 3. Gas Sterilization and Others. Moist Heat Sterilization:  Moderate pressure is utilized in steam sterilization. Steam is utilized under pressure as a means of accomplishing an elevated temperature. It is dominant to confirm the accurate quality of steam is utilized in order to keep away the problems which follow, superheating of the steam, f...

Electromagnetic Energy in Food Processing

  The use of electromagnetic energy in food processing is considered with respect to food safety, nutritional quality, and organoleptic quality. The results of nonionizing radiation sources such as microwave and radio-frequency energy and ionizing radiate on sources. Nonionizing microwave energy sources are more and more used in home and industrial food processing and are well-accepted by the end users. But, even though new-fangled Food and Drug Administration approval of low and intermediate ionizing radiation dose levels for grains and further plants products. Microwave  and  radio frequency  energy are allotments of the electromagnetic spectrum that can redeem heat to foods selectively and systematically. Explicitly, microwaves interrelate with water in foods to heat preponderant those allotments that are wet. End users are usual with microwave ovens as household appliances used to warm and cook foods, defrost frozen foods, and pop popcorn. On an industrial scale,...

Industrial Heating System for Biscuit and Cookies Baking

Biscuits and cookies have been part of our life since long time, we all love and like to eat some or other type of biscuits or cookies due its brand, taste, health benefits and many other reasons. One thing that we all love about them is their crispness, crispy and crunchy biscuits have always been first choice as biscuit and cookie lover. If it’s not crunchy then as consumer we never felt like we have some good biscuit or cookie and some it’s not baked properly, even if it’s over crunched and browned lots then also it gives taste like its burned while baking. Hence baking of biscuits and cookies become very important and critical for them to taste at best. Baking is one of very critical process in biscuits and cookies manufacturing plants, and it’s defined in food processing as process to heat the food to reduce its moisture completely and give them sustainable solid structure, so that they can last for longer time duration. In short the baking is kind of cooking food by the manne...
