IR-elements

Technology and materials:

IR elements are manufactured using various materials, each with its specific properties and applications:

• Ceramic IR elements: Known for their long life and ability to create consistent, long-wave infrared radiation, they are powerful and well-suited for continuous operation in demanding industrial environments.
• Quartz Glass IR Elements: Provide faster heating and more intense shortwave infrared radiation. They are ideal for applications that require fast response and spot heating.
• Quartz Glass IR Elements with Halogen: Utilizing a halogen gas in the quartz tube to increase efficiency and lifespan, these elements produce an intense, short-wave radiation and are often used where high heat output is required.

Advantages and areas of application:

One of the biggest advantages of IR elements is their ability to operate efficiently even in environments with vacuum or air movement, as heat transfer occurs via radiation and not convection. Infrared radiation is particularly beneficial where short-term and intermittent heating is required, as they heat objects and surfaces directly without having to heat the entire air in the room. This results in faster heat-up times and reduced energy consumption.

Industrial applications include, among others:

• Drying of paint and varnish
• Preheating of materials
• Curing of glue
• Process heating in the food industry
• Heating of workstations
