Infrared wave types and uses

the use of infrared radiation makes it possible to transfer a considerable quantity of heat in a short period of time. Not only thin sheets, but also solids with considerable thicknesses and particular forms can be easily heated.

This is because the infrared emitter is built in accordance to the particular application. The length of the infrared wave is of fundamental importance in the heating process.

An infrared emitter that is perfectly suited to the material to be heated is extremely efficient, making it possible to save energy up to 50% in comparison with traditional heating systems. Infrared heating does not require contact with the material to be heated and does not require any agent, such as air or water, to transport the heat.

Installation in production systems is easy, and it is just as easy to turn the emitters on and off. Infrared technology plays an important role in industrial processes in the following sectors:
