Infrared drying ovens deliver contactless thermal energy directly to the surface of food products. These systems are particularly effective for making crusts (e.g., on cheese or crustless bread), drying coatings (such as on cheese or meat), or reducing the amount of surface moisture without altering the internal quality of the product.
CSI’s infrared drying ovens operate independently of external working conditions and can compensate the convective part of any heat tunnel through the reaction of their emitters, which ensures consistent thermal performance, resulting in highly stable ovens. The energy is delivered where and when it is needed. Infrared drying ovens minimize unnecessary heating, making them an ideal solution for fragile food products.
Infrared drying ovens are usually engineered as conventional medium wavelength infrared ovens but may also be configured with short wavelength infrared technology, or even as simple infrared panels in an open process.
All Chaudelec Systèmes Industriels (CSI) infrared drying ovens are engineered with ease of maintenance and fast servicing in mind, ensuring maximum operational efficiency and minimal downtime.
