infrared catalytic gas heaters emit heat through infrared rays and operate with catalytic gas oxidation in total absence of flame. They are innovative systems for pre-heating treatments, curing, drying in the most varied industrial sectors

Our infrared powder coat  ovens are modular in design and ready for fast on site assembly.

ADVANTAGES OF INFRAGAS INFRARED CATALYTIC PANELS

START-UP SPEED

10 minutes: pre-heating phase made with an electrical element in order to reach the necessary temperature for catalytic reaction. The start-up in 10 minutes is absolutely the shortest compared with all catalytic systems present in the international market considering equal electric power engaged in pre-heating phase.

SPACE SAVING

Compact ovens – ovens built with IR INFRAGAS catalytic systems require less space for installation: power being equal, infrared Infragas systems occupy about 1/3 of the space as regards traditional convective systems.

QUICK TREATMENTS IR

radiation direct on the object – the ambient is not heated, infrared rays concentrate only on the item to be treated (high power density). Space and energy saving.

TEMPERATURE MODULATION

By modulating the gas pressure, i.e. the gas quantity, the radiant surface temperature ranges from 180°C (356°F) to 650°C (1202°F).

SWIFT COOL DOWN

Infrared medium/long waves are focused on the item to be treated, therefore only the surfaces hit by radiation has to cool down and not all the mass of the treated item, not the surrounds, as compared with hot air traditional convective systems.

VOCs ABATEMENT

The catalyst is able to decompose solvents, alcohols and generally VOCs (Volatile Organic Compounds) without burning; as a consequence, it occurs a reduction of the atmospheric pollution and a sensible odor abatement in the working area.

OPERATION IN POTENTIALLY EXPLOSIVE ATMOSPHERES

Thanks to catalytic technology based on combustion without flame, Infragas radiant panels are usable in spray-booths and where the presence of flammable solvents does not allow the use of the open flame types (INFRAGAS = FM and ATEX certifications for potentially explosive atmospheres).

ENERGY SAVING

Gas as primary source of energy is more economic than electricity. Moreover, IR radiation concentrates on the item to be treated: as a consequence, catalytic IR systems involve quicker treatments with low costs.

HIGH QUALITY RESULTS

• The nearly total absence of air movement reduces possible contamination of the treated surface

• No coating scaling, no wrinkles or bubbles (as in the case of painting curing)

• Homogeneous high quality finishing
