Gas infrared systems for drying steel strips coated on one or both sides. Short-wave gas infrared radiators are preferably used here.
Infrared drying is suitable for the following coatings
- Powder coatings
- Water-based paints
- Solvent-based paints
Advantages of gas IR drying
- short installation lengths or system lengths due to high heat transfer
- great flexibility due to the highest control range of all gas IR radiators
- considerable energy savings due to width switching
- No through-heating of the strip required
- Fast heat-up times/system availability
- Low consumption costs
- Utilisation of the thermal energy from the exhaust gases
- Increased drying capacity with the same amount of space
- Special solutions such as steam-heated systems for preheating steel strip before pickling
