Infrared heat

Heat is needed in many manufacturing processes, e.g. for drying, forming, activating or joining. Infrared heat is intelligent heat because it offers clear advantages compared to convection or contact heating:

• Infrared heaters can be optimised for material characteristics - ideal for demanding heat processes
• directed heat only where needed
• less space and energy consumption
• no contact or medium needed
• short response times for switch on/ switch off 

Heraeus offers

• Carbon medium wave infrared heaters
• classic medium wave infrared heaters
• fast response medium wave infrared heaters
• short wave infrared heaters
• Infralight NIR halogen heaters
• and complete infrared heating modules.

Heraeus understands the need of manufacturers to make industrial heating processes more efficient. A Heraeus infrared heater is always matched to the process – and not vice versa. Experience with thousands of heat processes, own application centers for infrared heat and competent and responsive people are the foundation to make heat processes faster, more energy-efficient, space-saving and quality-orientated.

Heraeus covers the total spectrum of technically usable infrared wavelengths and can help find the optimum heater to suit specific processes. Perfectly matched infrared heaters allow heating processes to be carried out at great efficiency with the right amount of energy.

The Technical CD ROM from Heraeus gives you background information about infrared heat and Heraeus infrared heaters. For more information, contact the Heraeus application engineers near you.
