IR dryer

IR dryer is a type of drying system that uses infrared radiation to heat and dry various materials, surfaces, or products. It’s commonly used in industrial and manufacturing processes for applications like drying ink on printed materials, curing paint or coatings, and drying food products. This type of radiation has characteristic to transfer thermal energy from warmer object to cooler object. The desired heat is produced at the surface of the targeted material, heat is produced on surface by matching the infrared emission spectrum of radiator to the absorption capacity of material.

Thermal radiation incident upon a body may be absorbed and its energy converted into heat, reflected from the surface or transmitted through the material following the balance:

IR dryers belong to family of generate heat at targeted material type of dryers similar to microwave and RF dryers, however key difference is Infrared generates heat on the surface or material. Infrared dryers are best substitute to the conventional type dryers due to its property of dryer from outer crust to inner part. Infrared dryer utilizes the high end infrared radiators as main source of heating, due this utilization of infrared for heating help the dryer to provide various advantages such as high efficiency, low response time, evenly heating the surface of material, lower energy consumption, Green technology and compact in size.

Kerone is known as one of the early bird in Infrared drying/IR dryer segment, we are in first few heating/drying solution provider who started advocating in favour of Infrared as source to produce the heat required from drying, in these several years we have played crucial role in the transformation that happened in segment of drying in Asia and other continents. We as known for our designing custom build drying solutions that are strictly adhere to the client’s process and pocket requirement without compromising quality of dryer and output material. The Infrared dryers (IR Dryers) are designed and customized to fit into need of your process need for drying requirement.

Advantages of IR dryer

• Highly efficient in converting electrical energy into heat for electrical IR.
• Greater rate of heat transfer.
• Compact in size .
• Heats only the object without heating the environment.
• Easy to zone for uniform heating of the product.
• Faster response to changing process conditions.
• Quick start up and shut down.
• Easy to have cut off zones for narrow widths.
• Easy to control and automate.
• Lower capital and installation cost .
• Can be easily be added to existing conventional dryers to increase line speed.
• Infrared Air dryers suitable for solvent based coatings.

Application of IR dryer
