Optimizing for Space and Speed
We built this custom infrared drying unit for one simple reason: to give you back 40% of your factory floor. Because in a high-volume screen-printing line, every square meter matters. The whole point is to dry that glass sealant fast, without being stuck with bulky, inefficient ovens that eat up your space. Here’s the heart of it: a compact, all-in-one unit that puts the heat right where you need it—on the production line itself.
Power, Voltage, and Dimensions
This isn’t some off-the-shelf lamp. It’s purpose-built, through and through. The high-voltage, high-power density design lets us pack serious heat into a small footprint. A 400V supply drives the heating element, so you get stable power for consistent drying. We tune the wattage to match the thermal mass of the glass and the exact cure time you need. And that short, 300mm tube? That’s the secret sauce. It lets us build a narrow housing that slips into tight spots—which is how we deliver that 40% space saving. But there’s a trade-off. This unit throws off a lot of heat in a concentrated area. So your machine’s cooling system needs to be set up to handle the rise in ambient temperature.
The Core Technology
We use a shortwave infrared halogen element inside a quartz tube. It heats up in seconds, not minutes, so you get instant control over the process. And that reflector coating? It’s not just for looks. It’s precision-engineered to focus maximum energy down onto the glass, cutting down on waste heat and giving you more even drying. The R7s connector is the industry standard for this kind of high-intensity lamp. It gives you a secure, stable connection that can handle the high current without overheating or failing. It’s reliable, and it just works.
Application: Screen-Printed Glass Lines
This unit was made to slide right into your screen-printed glass production line. It dries the sealant quickly, so the line keeps moving. The compact size makes it easy to retrofit into existing setups or build into new ones where space is tight. The result? A faster, leaner drying process. You end up with a tough, dependable solution that saves floor space, speeds up your cycle time, and makes the whole line layout simpler. It’s focused engineering for a very specific industrial need.
