Industrial manufacturers from around the globe are now switching to infrared technologies as they look for heat processing solutions to their production line challenges. There are many reasons behind the switch to infrared technology over convection heating options. For example, infrared lamps are more energy efficient than convection for many applications.
For many types of manufactured products, infrared lamps typically will increase line speeds, offer precise temperature control and yield a smaller footprint while providing excellent product quality. Electric infrared lamps can quickly be turned on and off like a light bulb and take only seconds to reach full power.

Due to the faster heating rates and the high degree of control available with electric infrared lamps for process heating, most products can be heated faster than in a conveyorized convection oven. Manufacturers can now decrease the dwell time in the oven while increasing throughput. To heat [for example] a given substrate to temperature using convection, the oven must reach its operational temperature and the substrate must be subjected to that heated environment for the time needed for it to reach its optimal temperature. The convection oven may take many minutes to reach its operational temperature. The ability of electric infrared lamps to heat up and cool down rapidly is also paramount to any discussion about infrared versus convection oven systems. Fast cool down protects the product on the line and naturally is safer for the machine operators.
Anderson Thermal Devices is an infrared technology leader in North American. Their catalogue offers innovative infrared solutions for industrial manufacturers. The company works with process heating manufacturers who serve the glass, electronics, semiconductor, battery, filtration, automotive, and printing industries.
Consider for example the company's offerings of T-3 and T-4 shortwave infrared lamps. They are available in various lengths and can reach maximum temperatures of 2400C.
Anderson Thermal Devices' T-3 and T-4 shortwave infrared lamps are available with two optional coatings: white ceramic or gold reflector. These coatings allow companies to achieve unidirectional heating. For industrial manufacturers needing to filter out visible light, ruby red color quartz coatings are available.
With thousands of infrared lamp and heater panel solutions available, Anderson Thermal Devices is the industry-leader when it comes to innovative infrared heating efficiency.
