INDUSTRIAL INFRARED HEATERS
Heaters for industrial production process heating.
Industrial infrared heaters are a widely used system for heating industrial production processes. The main advantages of infrared heaters are their efficiency, with low consumption and significant energy savings, and their rapid, precise, and direct heating action on the object being heated, not the surrounding environment.
The Advantages
- Low consumption (2500W – 6000W)
- Heats the room in seconds
- Up to 50 m² heated indoor spaces
- It doesn't stir up dust
- Great power, efficiency and energy saving.
SUPPLY OF INDUSTRIAL INFRARED LAMPS
ESAF supplies industrial infrared lamps and heating panels, ideal for large production spaces such as warehouses, sheds, or work centers with heated production processes.
THE ADVANTAGES
Infrared heating offers many advantages, both economically and practically. The heating action of infrared rays does not displace air, thus preventing the movement of dust or particles commonly found in warehouses, sheds, and other large spaces. This feature also prevents the growth of mold by preventing humidity inside the rooms.
Infrared lamps, based on their wave characteristics and power, are suitable for different situations in industrial use, both for the uniform heating of large spaces (up to 50 m2 with a single lamp) and for individual workstations where localized heating is required.
Modern infrared heaters are designed to keep energy consumption low, allowing for significant savings on heating energy costs.
TYPES OF INDUSTRIAL HEATERS
Our industrial infrared heater models differ primarily in the wavelength they emit, which determines the heating rate and the ability to heat spaces of varying sizes and the distances required for installation. Infrared radiation is classified into three types: short, medium, and long.
SHORTWAVE INFRARED LAMPS
Shortwave infrared heaters in industrial environments are ideal for rapid, surface heating of large buildings with high ceilings. Halogen elements reach temperatures up to 1200°C. Shortwave industrial heaters must be installed at a safe distance from objects and people, with a minimum distance of 5 meters.
Perfect for industrial environments up to 50m2.
Due to their high operating temperatures, shortwave heaters are often used in industrial production, such as in the heat treatment of plastics, or for drying and curing paints.
MEDIUM WAVE INFRARED LAMPS
Medium-wave infrared lamps provide slower but more uniform heating of large spaces. Infrared lamps maintain excellent thermal output and have an operating temperature of 500/600°C, ensuring a longer lifespan than short-wave lamps. Their low light output prevents annoying glare or excessive light.
Suitable for industrial environments up to 30/35m2, if used alone.
INDUSTRIAL LONG-WAVE HEATERS
Long-wave heaters have a greater ability to transmit heat to objects and people, making them more comfortable. Their main advantage is that they do not emit visible waves (which are otherwise harmful to skin and eyes) and can therefore be placed even at close range.
The operating temperature is around 300°, ensuring the lamp lasts longer.
Ideal for single workstations or in combination with other lamps for large spaces.
USES
Infrared heating systems, as seen, can have different characteristics and levels of generated temperature, adapting to different application contexts and industrial uses.
Room heating:
- large environments, factories, warehouses and industrial structures;
- zootechnical use, animal heating.
Uses in the manufacturing sector:
- cooking and heating of food during the preparation and production phase;
- heating and melting of plastics;
- paint drying;
- moisture removal.
INDUSTRIAL APPLICATIONS
Infrared rays are widely used as heating systems in industry and manufacturing sectors. Here are the main areas of application:
- drying of paints, tiles, two-component epoxy, polyester and acrylic resins;
- drying in the textile industries and shipyards;
- radiation of workstations in environments where it is not possible or uneconomical to use conventional heating systems;
- polymerization and preparation for molding in the plastics industry;
- bending and thermoforming of acrylic, PVC, nylon and ABS plastics;
- open tunnels for drying the paintwork of car bodies, machine tools and metal furniture.
