Carbon Infrared Emitters Yielding Energy Efficiency Gains in Highly Efficient Drying

Infrared emitters have been successfully used for decades in industrial heating processes, such as drying paint, molding plastic, and manufacturing solar cells. The carbon infrared emitter, which has been around since the 1990s, helps to save up to 30 percent of energy in many processes. 

 
Conventional medium-wave emitters are very robust and reliable and have a long service life. However, in the event of an unexpected belt stop, conventional medium-wave emitters must be swung away or shielded at great expense due to their reaction time of 2-3 minutes to prevent damage to the surfaces of the products.  Carbon infrared emitters also emit very effective medium-wave infrared radiation, offer high outputs, and respond within seconds, which makes these emitters unique.
