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...

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 yo...

IR and MW heating Systems increases productivity of flameproof and water-repellent fabric

A textile is a flexible material, consisting of a network of natural or artificial fibres made by spinning raw fibres from plants, animals and other minerals. Textile more commonly is known as ‘ Fabric ’ or ‘ Cloth ’ in textile assembly trades, though there are subtle differences in these terms in specialized usage. The creation of textiles involves several processes than one might think. The production of fibres are spun into yarns, and then used to create fabrics into many other sub-processes. Textiles vary from, cotton, flax, jute, wool, silk, ramie, leather or synthetic materials like nylon, polyester, rayon etc. In India, traditionally, after agriculture textile production is the only industry that has generated huge employment for both skilled and unskilled labour. India is the second largest producer of fibre in the world and the major fibre produced is cotton which is about 60% of the whole textile production. Heat is an integral part of many textile processes. There are ...

Strong Casting and Exquisite Molding, by Modern Foundry Technologies

A foundry is an industrial facility that produces metal castings. Metals are cast into shapes by liquefying them into a fluid, pouring the metal into a mold, and removing or emptying the form material after the metal has solidified as it cools. The most widely recognized metals prepared are aluminum and solid metal. However, other metals, for example, bronze, metal, steel, magnesium, and zinc, are likewise used to create castings in foundries. Foundry  processes can be divided into two types – ferrous foundries and non-ferrous foundries i.e. the type of metal they use for casting of the moulds. Ferrous and Non-ferrous metals are distinguished by the presence of iron in the metal. Ferrous metals are defined as those metals that contain iron. Non-ferrous metals do not. Iron and its types like cast irons, grey iron, ductile iron, steel and other iron alloys are the examples of ferrous metals. Whereas Non-ferrous metals include every metal and alloy that does not contain iron, a ...

Microwave Radiation’s Role in Glass Processing Industry

Glass is a solid-like and transparent material that is used in numerous applications in our daily lives. It is a sustainable, fully recyclable material which provides great environmental benefits such as contributing to mitigating climate change and saving precious natural resources. It is also highly appreciated in many applications for its inert nature and its contributions to safeguarding people’s health ad well being. It is an unlimited material whose number of applications is constantly evolving and which is more and more used in combination with other material for high-tech applications. Glass processing is energy intensive, therefore the possibility to reduce energy consumption by selective energy intake into portions of glass using microwave heating is investigated. Glass products like bottles, jars, windows, mirrors, tableware, automobile parts etc. are some of the most commonly produced. Microwave heating is a process whereby microwave rays produced by magnetrons are di...

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...

Industrial Automation, kick-started by Microwave and Infrared Radiation

Since after the Industrial Revolution in the 18th century, automated machines and robotics have gradually taken over the maximum share of production in many industries. Science and technology kept on progressing and finding more and more convenient solutions for reducing human labour and efforts. The results were certainly effective and successful with the decrease in manmade errors and increase in product precision. Now this transfer of control of the manufacturing industry from human workforce to the machines was eventually known as the  Industrial Automation . Industrial automation is the use of control systems, such as computers or robots, information technologies and Artificial Intelligence (AI) used to have control on different activities of an industry without critical intercession from humans and to give programmed control execution. In businesses, control techniques utilize a lot of innovations which are actualized to desired performance or output, making the automatio...
