Offers power densities and response time that rival short wavelength heaters.
Fast Response Medium Wavelength Infrared Panel Heaters
Introducing the revolutionary V-series heater. The V-series is perfect for applications that require high power, tight process control, and fast heat-up/ cool-down. V-Shaped stamped elements have low mass for fast heating/ cooling and minimal thermal lag for extremely tight process control. The elements are bonded to a high temperature insulation board having low thermal conductivity, low thermal mass and low heat capacity to minimize stored heat so they can be switched on and off in seconds. This makes them ideal for processing heat sensitive products such as coated webs and textiles. V-series heaters offer power densities and response times that rival those of short wavelength heaters except they come in a very durable construction and have a medium wavelength output which is readily absorbed by most products. Therefore, they are ideally suited for drying water or solvents as well as heating plastics, glass, etc.
