While the reduction of solvent emissions within VOC guidelines is an important goal throughout industry, it has been challenging for drying oven suppliers. 

Chocolates and other types of confectionery are packed in boxes with plastic insert trays. These trays are manufactured by thermoforming plastic foil. Infrared emitters from Heraeus Noblelight, which transfer energy without contact and generate the heat predominantly in the material itself, are helping to heat bioplastics before forming.

High quality spirits get their special taste by being stored in wooden barrels that are roasted before filling. Roasting traditionally has been done with an open flame. A custom infrared oven is replacing that open flame for one spirits maker.

Infrared lamps for PET manufacturing reduce energy consumption, resulting in savings in production costs. Lamps are available with or without the company’s ceramic reflector coating.

For the makers of a German holiday treat, the application of infrared heat prior to packaging can help reduce the formation of mold.

Two automotive components makers use infrared systems from Heraeus to deburr, weld or form automotive plastic parts.

A low temperature paint from the Precious Colors Division of Heraeus can be cured using Heraeus Noblelight’s Max infrared oven at temperatures between 392 and 482°F (200 and 250°C).
