(Summary description)What is Drying?

Drying refers to the process of removing moisture or other volatile components from a material through evaporation, sublimation, or other methods. The primary purpose is to reduce the moisture content to prevent spoilage, improve storage stability, extend shelf life, enhance material stability and mechanical properties, facilitate transportation and storage, and meet subsequent processing requirements.

 

What is Infrared Heating Drying?

Infrared heating drying is a drying technology that uses infrared radiation energy to heat objects and promote moisture evaporation. Infrared radiation is an electromagnetic wave with a wavelength range typically between 0.78 and 1000 microns. Infrared heating mainly relies on radiant heat transfer, directly penetrating the surface of objects, allowing water molecules and other volatile components to absorb energy and evaporate, thus achieving rapid drying.



 

Applications of Infrared Heating Technology in Packaging Production for the Food and Medical Industries


Food Packaging Material Drying: Used for drying food packaging films or coatings to ensure uniformity and stability.
Food Dehydration: Used for rapid dehydration of fruits, vegetables, and meat products, preserving nutrients and extending shelf life.
Food Sterilization: Utilizes the high-temperature characteristics of infrared radiation to sterilize food surfaces, improving food safety.
Medical Device Packaging Sterilization: Used for the sterile treatment of medical equipment packaging, enhancing hygiene standards for medical products.
Pharmaceutical Packaging Drying: Applied to the drying of pharmaceutical capsules and tablet packaging to ensure product stability.
Electronics Packaging: Used for drying electronic component packaging films to prevent moisture-related short circuits or damage.
Cosmetics Industry: Applied to the drying of packaging materials for skincare products, lipsticks, etc., improving product quality and appearance.


 

 



 

What is Quartz Infrared Heating Lamp?

High Efficiency Infrared Lamps are made by three parts, radiation body、filament and other accessories. The radiation body is transparent quartz glass tube. High temperature resistant heating filaments are tungsten alloy, Ni-Cr alloy and carbon materials. Other accessories include molybdenum electrode、cables、insulating ceramics. When the infrared lamps are connecting power supply, the heating filaments reach high temperature in seconds and the radiation body emitter lots of infrared rays, so the objects will absorb those amounts of infrared and be heated very fast. If we install fast heating IR lamps in your machine or production lines, we can dry our products faster and increase our productivity. 

 



What is the Advantages of Quartz Infrared Hetaing Lamp?

1: Infrared heating lamps can be switched on and off quickly.
2: 1~2 seconds fast response time to full power IR heating energy.
3: Accurate（±1 ℃）IR heating temperature control with regulators or solid state relays. 
4: Small installation space requests, flexble distribution to meet evenly drying.
5: Our infrared heating lamps are for all industrial heating applications, the highest working temperature up to 1000 ℃.
6: Special Gold reflector (90% reflective rate) and Ceramic white reflector (70% reflective rate) coated on IR lamp quartz tube surface to reflect infrared radiation energy back on heated objects.
7: Matched IR radiation wavelength for different heated materials, especialy for moisture drying, coating drying, laminating, paper printing, textile dyeing or drying and etc..
8: Customzied heating power density-The highest surface power output of shortwave IR lamp is 300KW/M2, Fast response medium wave IR lamp is 200KW/M2, Carbon medium wave IR lamp is 150KW/M2, Medium wave IR lamp is 120KW/M2.
