- Electric Infrared Curing Technology - 04-443-01 [ English ]
short wave to long wave, offering a solution for every cuing need.
Compact, modular designs allow for configuration flexibility, while
the emitters deliver efficient, clean heat energy for any application.
Offering higher production rates, lower operating costs and a high
quality finish with minimal floor space.
Infrared curing technology applies radiant energy to the part
surface by direct transmission from an emitter. Infrared heats
what needs to be heated, not the surrounding air, taking less time
and energy to do the job. Infrared can cure a variety of finishing
applications, from oddly shaped objects to demanding substrates
and difficult coatings, for liquid or powder.
Depending upon cure time desired, Binks offers three types of
curing solutions; short wave with T3 tungsten filaments, medium
wave with nickel chromium coil tubular element or ceramic long
wave capabilities. Offering a variety of emitter wattages, heater
sizes and voltages, only Binks can offer the right infrared product
for your curing need. Best finish quality
Infrared
Technology
The potential of a product to become
heated with infrared depends on
the following:
• Watt density (total output power) of
the source
• Wavelength (temperature) of the source
• Distance from the source to the product
• Reflective characteristics of the oven cavity
• Air movement and temperature in the oven
• Time product is exposed to the source
• Ratio of exposed surface area to the mass
of the product
• Specific heat of the product
• Emissivity of the product
• Thermal conductivity of the product
Electric Infrared Technology
Short Wavelength - T3 Emitter
For pinpoint accuracy, rapid heat-up and instantaneous cool down and infinitely adjustable
power, Binks Short wavelength IR is your solution. Utilizing a short wave T3 tungsten filament,
sealed in a quartz envelope of halogen gas, the thin filament, being of little mass, is very
reactive to the voltage applied to it. The infrared heat output reacts immediately to changes
in applied voltage and provides rapid response time. Offering a long life of over 5,000 hours,
when used at full voltage, you can count on a quality finish, time after time.
Medium Wavelength – Tubular Element Emitter
A reliable nickel chromium resistance coil is housed in a quartz tube providing a
non-vertical burn design. Providing even heat patterning, produced through the
tubular shaped emitters, and dual reflector system, make the heater popular for heat
sensitive substrates such as plastic components and wood products. Most effective in
applications requiring surface temperatures on the 120° F to 325° F (49° to 163° C) range.
Medium Wavelength – Coil Emitter
Unique sheathed tubular element, with nickel chromium resistance coil, packed in magnesium
oxide, is engineered to ensure consistent temperatures and optimum radiant heat transfer
efficiencies. Ideal for applications with complex geometric part profiles and temperature
requirements of 250° F to 450° F (121° to 232° C), Versatile yet affordable.
Long Wavelength – Cone Emitter
Utilizes a high-grade chromium wire, that is helically wrapped around a ceramic cone-shaped
core, and encased in a high-mass, hardened slurry, creating a durable, efficient long wave
emitter. The ceramic cone’s modular and sturdy design allows the heater to be configured
into virtually any pattern. The even heating pattern produced by the con-shaped emitter, and
parabolic reflector, makes this heater most popular for heat sensitive substrates such as wood
and plastic. The perfect choice for applications requiring temperatures of 300° F (149° C) and
below.
