NATIONAL SERVICE CENTRE for Gas catalytic infrared heaters and installations

Analyse
FIT Infrared ( EU ) Ltd . carried out on site trials to identify ideal cure time , in conjunction with the target line speed we designed an oven to satisfy the objectives . The new oven utilised gas catalytic heaters of gas usage 325,800 kW per year . The oven design allowed the side walls to be moved in and out providing process flexibility creating the ideal heat and curing profile to suit the size of the product , in addition a facility was installed allowing the operator to vary the gas pressure and subsequent heat intensity , this allowed the operators to set the oven to its optimum running level .
