Efficient infrared processing of plastics
Infrared heating is a highly efficient and effective method for processing plastics across various industrial applications. Infrared emitters play a crucial role in this heating method due to their ability to deliver focused thermal energy while maintaining a contact-free approach that enables rapid processes such as welding, deburring, and forming in just seconds.
The use of infrared emitters has optimized many processes within the plastics processing industry, including deburring steering wheels, welding containers, embossing foils, and coating displays. Excelitas offers infrared emitters that are thoughtfully arranged with flexible designs to provide effective heating even for products with complex shapes. Additionally, the ability to quickly switch infrared emitters on and off contributes to energy and cost savings, thereby enhancing overall process efficiency.
Your advantages with infrared heat in plastics processing:
- Contact-free infrared heating: Enables reproducible and straightforward plastic welding in just seconds.
- Thoughtfully shaped emitters: a precise fit to the contours of a product facilitates the automation of deburring, welding, and adhesive activation.
- Tailored infrared emitters: Custom-designed for specific products and processes saves time, space, and energy.
