Infrared curing of PTFE and ceramic coatings

Most TEFAL cookware products must be dried at temperatures ranging from 70 to 80°C before being cured at higher temperatures.

TEFAL's production is highly diverse, ranging from diameters of 140 to 370 mm, heights of 19 to 180 mm, and weights that also vary considerably. Drying systems must therefore be able to handle these parameters and react very quickly between batches to avoid losing pieces during production.

- Infrared tunnels are an obvious choice for drying and curing PTFE:

But choosing the right one is crucial. Chaudelec SI has gradually established itself through its technical expertise and significant energy savings.

Electricity consumption has been reduced by over 40% compared to the competition thanks to the use of advanced infrared technology and optimized components (mirror-polished directional emitters and reflectors). The available infrared power output and precise cycle management have also enabled shorter installation lengths.

- IR ovens based on a comprehensive analysis:

 With several lines at various TEFAL sites, CSI also equips TEFAL laboratories and has conducted a complete comparison of short-wave, medium-wave, electric, and gas IR technologies to avoid the same questions arising with each new line.

- Infrared ovens with simplified maintenance:

PTFE Chaudelec Systèmes Industriels' infrared curing tunnels are equipped with all the necessary components to quickly detect any part that needs replacing. This automated monitoring simplifies preventive and corrective maintenance. As a result, production rates are maximized, and the infrared ovens maintain their reliability over the years.
