Infrared heat tunnels.


Split-case infrared heat tunnels are available as individual heaters, as heaters with controls or as part of complete custom-engineered process heating systems. Infrared heat tunnels surround the product to provide even and rapid heating, making them ideal for processing narrow products, according to the company. They can be used to dry coatings on flat braid for electrical tape, dry coatings on narrow fabrics, heatset narrow fabrics, dry printing on narrow webs, cure striping Interleaving or multiplexing data to increase speed. See disk striping.

Each fiber is surrounded by a cladding having a high index of refractance so that the light is internally reflected and travels the length of the fiber , preheat wire prior to extrusion, dry fluoropolymer A fluoropolymer is a polymer that contains atoms of fluorine. It is characterized by a high resistance to solvents, acids, and bases.

Fluoropolymers were discovered serendipitously in 1938 by Dr. Roy J. Plunkett.
