Infrared generators

Infrared generators are used to heat people and in industrial processes. Since the heating element reaches temperatures of between 370 °C and 2000 °C, the energy is transmitted by radiation. Heating is carried out remotely and overcomes environmental conditions.

Vulcanic offers three different technologies in order to meet all client requirements and applications.

—

Long infrared generators are comprised of a resistance wire housed in a high quality ceramic material. Their surface temperature is between 370 °C and 500 °C and thermal inertia is from 2 to 5 min.

These generators are particularly suitable for applications involving the preheating and heat treatment of plastics, latex, synthetic fibres, heat-shrink packaging. Rectangular, flat or curved, long infrared generators do not require any maintenance and are resistant to water, acids and thermal shocks.

—

Medium infrared generators are comprised of one or more resistance wires coated in Incoloy® 800 mounted in a highly reflective aluminium-coated steel reflector. Their surface temperature is between 500 °C and 750 °C and thermal inertia is from 1 to 2 min.

These generators are suitable for heating people where the conditions are particularly harsh (industrial sites, warehouses, loading bays, etc.). With a robust construction and capable of being mounted vertically or horizontally in a maximum temperature environment of 200 °C, they also enable a number of industrial problems to be overcome (drying, cooking, polymerisation, etc.).

—

Short infrared generators are comprised of one or more quartz lamps mounted inside a reflector. The surface temperature of the filament of the lamps can reach 2000 °C.

These generators are used in the textile, paper, card, plastic and food wrap industries and any other applications requiring an almost nil inertia (<1 sec) or a large power density.

Available in rectilinear or cassette form comprising several lamps, short infrared generators are compact, light and require minimum and straightforward maintenance.

—
