Infrared ovens are suitable for powder, solvent-based and water-based paints.
Infrared ovens are particularly suitable for high material thicknesses or temperature-sensitive workpieces. In the drying of paint, infrared heat is often superior to conventional air drying, because the radiation penetrates the material and dries the paint film from the inside outwards. This hinders the formation of a skin or blisters on the surface and accelerates the drying of the paint. The result is a brilliant surface quality.
On account of their outstanding powder wetting, these dryers are frequently used as gelling zones before powder enamelling furnaces.
Advantages
Drastic reduction of drying times
Reduction of cycle times
Saving of space
Fast temperature increase possible
Universally usable with powder / solvent-based / water-based paints
Less sanding necessary with wood, since the water exposure period with water-based paints is shorter
Avoidance of skin formation
Very good surface qualities
Safe, since there are no open flames
Flexible regulation
Degradation of solvents by oxidation
