Electric Infrared Ovens: Paint lines optimization by IR boosting

Electrical IR boosting arches offer many of the advantages of gas infrared ovens, but they also provide a wider range of wavelengths, from long to short infrared, which cannot be achieved with gas technology.
The electric infrared arches are placed at the entrance of existing ovens that do not fulfill factory objectives in terms of throughput (increased production, more massive parts…) or paint quality (cold spots, dusts, non-compliant curing curves).
They can be added at the oven entrance,  but also in the convective section of the oven.
As the infrared process differs between solvent, water-based or powder coatings, CSI develops electric IR arches on demand to enhance any paint line after a detailed analysis of the existing equipment.

IR ventilation is independent of the oven air, avoiding perturbation between the existing oven and the new IR boost arch.

CSI’s IR technology can deliver power densities of up to 700 kW/m² (very rare for this type of process) as well as much lower power densities if the parts or products do not tolerate high temperature ramps.
On paint lines, the electric infrared boost ovens can be applied to the entire surface as classic ovens, or to specific points for precisely targeted radiation.
