By its most simple definition, process heating is the raising of the temperature of a part or substrate within a manufacturing process.

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.

The inaugural Process Heating & Cooling Show will feature the latest industrial processes, products and emerging technologies across all process manufacturing industries. Held June 16-17 in Rosemont, Ill., this interactive two-day event is designed to inform and inspire everyone involved with process heating and process cooling systems.

An infrared camera system designed to monitor the temperature of spray nozzles in spray dryers can warn operators in case of trouble. The infrared cameras are located in the spray dryer’s air disperser and, in combination with a visual-monitoring system, offer an extra level of safety.

Whether you want a batch, paddle or web dryer, or something else altogether, you are looking in the right place.

An infrared oven from Heraeus Noblelight allowed the Newmor Group to carry out pre-gelling of PVC used in wall coverings as an inline process, reducing production times and increasing productivity.

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.
