Infrared (IR) Heaters are heating system uses electromagnetic frequency that is just above the visible light in frequency spectrum known as Infrared. These invisible infrared lights are absorbed by the surface of the material or object under the heating process, this absorption of the infrared lights result in heating of surface.
Infrared waves are majorly classified based on the wave length range
Infrared heating systems find most common application in:-
- Curing of coatings
- Plastic shrinking
- Plastic heating prior to forming
- Plastic welding
- Glass & metal heat treating
- Cooking
- Warming suckling animals or captive animals in zoos or veterinary clinics
