emitters provide short to medium wavelength
radiation and can be the most preferred source
of heat when rapid heater response is needed.
They are normally used for fast response applications,
where the product can't be moved away from
the heaters quickly or where long periods
of off cycles provide cost saving advantages
using quartz heaters capable of reaching operating
temperatures in a matter of seconds. The
heaters are comprised of a series of quartz
tubes running parallel to each other within
a highly reflective aluminized steel housing.
Each tube contains a coiled resistance wire
available in a variety of wattages and voltages. Watt
densities up to 30 w/sq. inch (4.65 w/sq.
cm) are available. The large variety of sizes,
shapes, and watt densities allows quartz emitters
to be highly useful in zoning arrangements
such as plastic thermoforming sheet-fed applications
where complex heating patterns are needed,
high-speed roll-fed processes, and machines
requiring precise zone control because they
are small in size, and can easily be put in
panels. Some of these emitters are approximately
the same size as our Salamander ceramicinfrared
heaters (FFQ style=FTE size ceramic heater,
HFQ style=HTE size ceramic heater, HSQ style=HSE
size ceramic heater.) |
