Infrared systems for a wealth of industrial applications
There are a variety of thermal engineering applications in various non-categorizable manufacturing processes. In the variety of applications, the key is often in the customer-specific new development.
Here you will find an overview of different applications, which are processed by infrared heat.
These pages are currently under construction. In the future, you will receive detailed information on the various areas of application that we will gradually provide for you. You are welcome to contact us for more information about our products and the scope of application.
Polymers
Heating thermoplastics
For forming thermoplastics (thermoforming, plastic deep-drawing), the product must be heated to the respective glass transition temperature.
read moreTempering thermosets
Annealing is the term used to describe the heat treatment of plastics to reduce mechanical stresses and the targeted modification of the microstructure.

Technical ceramics
Debinding ceramics
Debinding removes the binders with their organic components from the green compact.
read moreSintering ceramics
Sintering of ceramics, after debinding or shaping by means of additive manufacturing, pressing or casting.
read moreDrying of ceramics
Water components in semi-finished products or in surface coatings can be removed by means of drying.
read moreHeat treatment
Through heat treatment, the final properties of the component and surface, such as hardness, strength or conductivity, can be set.
read moreMetals
Metal debinding
Debinding of metals, after shaping by means of additive manufacturing, pressing or casting.
read moreSintering metals
Sintering of metals, after debinding or shaping by additive manufacturing, pressing or casting.
read moreHardening / Annealing
Hardening can be used to improve the mechanical resistance of metallic materials by selectively changing and transforming their microstructures.
read moreVacuum and process gas brazing
Brazing processes place high demands on the furnace technology in order to guarantee the surface quality of the components to be joined.
read moreAgeing
Both materials and components are subject to accelerated ageing at the beginning of their life cycle. This initial ageing can be simulated in retort furnaces..
read moreTransformation processes
Thermal conversion processes
Processing and refining biomass into products that can be used for energy and/or materials, such as fuels.

Drying water-based lacquers
The drying of lacquers can be significantly accelerated by heat radiation/infrared.
read moreEvaporate solvent
The evaporation of solvents can be significantly accelerated by heat radiation/infrared radiation.
read moreCuring solvent lacquers
With infrared radiation, 2K lacquers can be forcibly cross-linked and even increase the hardness of the lacquer layer.
read moreMelting powder coatings
Infrared radiation can be used to anneal powder coatings without powder carry-over.
read moreCuring powder coatings
Infrared radiation can be used to bake powder coatings quickly and reliably and even increase hardness.
