As Fast as a Speeding Press

Narang states that Radiant Energy sees combination dryers using infrared and air doing quite well. “We also have new T3 lamps, which are rated at 100 W/inch but generate energy in the medium wavelength range. These lamps were previously available in short wavelength only,” he says.

C.A. Litzler addressed its customers’ needs to improve their processes and reduce manufacturing costs by designing a combination floatation dryer. The dryer uses both convection and infrared technologies. “The use of two technologies delivers more effective and efficient heat transfer while increasing productivity and quality at reduced operating costs,” says Matt Litzler, president, C.A. Litzler. “Convection offers the steady and thorough heat-up while infrared works faster to reduce the time needed to dry material.”
