INFRA RED BAKING OVEN

Infrared Catalytic Heating Oven
In a conventional Convection type Oven the air inside the oven, the panels and the entire component is heated to the required temperature. In the process there are attendant heat losses and enormous amount of energy is consumed in direct proportion to the size & weight of the components, the oven etc. Subsequently, the component needs to be cooled to be able to be handled. The heat dissipated is released into the shed which again needs to be extracted out into the atmosphere.

Now, we bring to you an Infrared Catalytic Heating Ovens with “Quick Heating and Quick Cooling i.e. Quick Cycle” technology.

Our Infrared catalytic heaters give out Medium/ Long Electromagnetic Waves therefore, they are used in most part of applications by granting homogeneous finish, of high quality level, with extremely low management costs as the fastness in heating and the thermal process typology, focused on the body to be treated, afford a considerable reduction of costs.

The Infrared Catalytic Heater Oven uses a consumable, normally LPG or CNG, that reacts with oxygen in the presence of a catalyst to induce heat (flamelessly) on the surface of the component that is painted thus drying and “curing” the paint instead of heating the entire component to the drying/ curing temperature.

ADVANTAGES -

1. High Quality Finish
Traditional convective systems have to heat in advance the surrounding area, then they heat the whole mass of the product by penetrating in the inner layers. Therefore, the most external part of the paint endures a long heating time and when evaporation occurs, the result is technically known as “bubbling effect”: the paint surface layers previously heated had formed a film, and humidity, by passing through them, gives a not homogeneous final result (surface with bubbles).

2. Saves Time (“Quick Heating and Quick Cooling i.e. Quick Cycle”)
Medium/long infrared waves are concentrated into the surface to be treated, therefore, cooling is faster than the one of convective traditional systems which heat also the surrounding area. At least 1/6th Time can be saved in our oven.

3. Energy Saving
IR radiation is focused on the item surface, it is not necessary to take the surrounding air to the temperature of paint polymerization. Therefore, energy saving is a primary characteristic of infrared systems.

The energy required for our Infrared Oven is less than 1/3rd of that of a conventional oven. Moreover, blowers for air circulation are eliminated adding to energy savings.

4. Power Density
IR radiation is focused on the item surface, it is not necessary to take the surrounding air to the temperature of paint polymerization. Therefore, energy saving is a primary characteristic of infrared systems.Infrared rays focused on the item to be treated, high efficiency.

5. Space Saving
Ovens built with our catalytic systems require less room for installation: power being equal, our catalytic systems occupy 1/3 of the room as regards traditional convective systems (i.e. traditional convective oven length 20 mt., INFRARED Catalytic heater oven length 7 mt.).
