Combination air/infrared dryers

Seen most often in applications running coatings, the most common combination dryers pair infrared energy with air. These dryers are very efficient, relatively short in length, and are also cost effective. The right combination of infrared and air is essential to achieving a completely dry web without running into problems such as web damage on line, stops, or skinning of the coating because of the infrared’s high intensities.
