The Infradry Compact is a new high-performance infrared dryer module from Heraeus for aqueous paints, inks and coatings. Infrared heating systems with precise control offer many advantages for drying coatings, laminating or embossing. With powerful systems such as the Infradry Compact, uniform heating can be generated, enabling high production speeds. Heating of edge zones avoids heat loss at the edges. Fast response times protect web-shaped materials such as foils, plastic films, paper or nonwovens from heat damage in the event of a sudden web stop.
In the module, Heraeus combines powerful twin-tube infrared emitters with hot air and an integrated exhaust system to ensure effective and efficient drying. To remove heat and water vapor from inside the module, Infradry Compact features a specially designed air duct that directs an evenly distributed airflow into the drying area of the module, either through internal or external fans. This air is heated by the IR emitters, absorbs the evaporated moisture and then removes it from the drying zone.
