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...

Microwave Continuous Vulcanization (CV) Rubber Curing Oven

Vulcanization is process of converting natural rubber or rubber polymers into more durable and mechanically strengthens rubber by the process of mixing sulfur and processing. This process results in changing the cross-linking bonds within the natural rubber and making bonds more strong and non-sticky. Vulcanization curing is achieved by heating the natural rubber or rubber polymer at very high temperature along with sulfur or any other agent, such high level of temperature rise results into changing of bond within the rubber and resulting in non-sticky, maker it lesser deformable when heated, and removes the brittleness this helps rubber to achieve the desired level of elasticity. Continuous Vulcanization curingprocess is most common process used for variety of application. In the process Continuous Vulcanization curing rubber and accelerator is put under high temperature and pressure, this mixture is passed through the continuous heating line during the process, some of C-...

Organic Food and its increasing consumer demand

Organic Food Processing is where organic raw materials are processed into food and drink. The organics standard of food processing is to protect the food constituents so that organic ingredients are used, and encourage the avoidance of unnecessary chemical or physical. Organic labeling offers consumers, the confidence that the eatables they consume are produced under controlled organic standards. Organic food should be of high nutritional and high natural quality. With the growing awareness even the governments of various countries have setup a separate body to monitor the whole Organic Processing System, in India that being National Program for Organic Production (NPOP). India is one of the upcoming leading processors in this sector. Some private standards demand that organic food should fulfill the criteria of wholesome nutrition, where processing methods must be seen as relevant tools. Most processing methods have more or less strong influences on product properties. Heat...
