Improve the performance of Existing Electric Infrared Systems

Technology, market dynamic, need of processing, time to market and demand of end products are changing at very rapid rate across all verticals for business. Name a business it would see huge change in less than 2 – 5 years (for few its 1 year) this reduction in change cycle and evolving technological need to processing require you to be on the top with your processing requirements. But big question is that if you have installed a processing heating/drying unit today to improves its performance you cannot replace it frequently.

We are trying to help you with some recommendations that may help you improving the performance of your existing infrared heating system, if not more but you can achieve 15% to 30% improvement:

• Add Reflectors: IR work on principle of reflection, more the IR rays will collide with product/substrate under processing faster will be the process. Adding additional reflectors to sides and/or top and /or bottom of your IR oven will help you achieving more IR ray exposure to product.

• Keep it clean: It might be sounding very basic, but yes cleaned emitter and reflectors provide better emission of IR ray and reflection within the oven. This contributes to efficiency by more radiation on targeted substrate.

• Consider Zoning: Zoning refers to having multiple zone with different temperature configuration, different zoned oven results in better performance and efficiency by radiating energy appropriately on the product. Any type of zoning horizontal or vertical can be achieved by placing new emitters carefully of same or different wavelength.

• Movable infrared bank: Processing smaller and larger product happing with the amount of IR ray strikes product, hence having movable IR bank can help us in moving the bank near and far from the product for achieving maximum reflection.

• Sophisticated control mechanism: Improve the type of control systems placed. On top of providing zoning, control system can also deliver a variable control instead of simple on/ off control. Some systems employ “closed-loop” control that can accurately distribute the essential amount of radiant energy to the product, even for varying product size, shape, or colour, etc.

• Periodic Testing and maintenance: Ensure that periodic testing and maintenance activity is performed on the oven and emitters for correctness of operation and radiation. A data log can help in understanding the complete performance of systems.

• Involve experts: It always better to take advice from the experts such as Kerone, who can help you and guide you to make your process more efficient and cost effective, this will help you in keeping the pace with evolving technology.

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,...

Sterilization Method in Chemical and Psychological

Sterilization indicates to any process that removes, kills, or deactivates all compositions of microorganisms such as fungi, bacteria, viruses, spores, unicellular eukaryotic organisms such as Plasmodium, etc. Sterilization can be attainted through diverse means, including heat, chemicals, irradiation, high pressure, and filtration. Sterilization is distinct from disinfection, sanitization , and pasteurization , in that those methods reduce rather than destroying all forms of life and biological agents present. After sterilization, an object is resorted to as being sterile or aseptic. Chemicals are also accustomed for sterilization. Heating provides an infallible way to exterminate objects of all transmissible agents, but it is not always suitable if it will vandalize heat-sensitive materials such as biological materials, fiber optics, electronics, and many plastics. In these circumstances chemicals, either in a gaseous or liquid form can be used as sterilants. Whil...
