2.2-Meter Infrared Drying Tunnel for Water-Based Coatings on Pulp Molding - Fast Curing & Integration

2.2-Meter Infrared Drying Tunnel for Water-Based Coatings on Pulp Molding - Fast Curing & Integration

Composition of production line
This 2.2-meter IR drying tunnel is designed as a modular segment for integration into existing coating lines. It includes a stainless-steel frame, high-efficiency medium-wave infrared emitters, a reflective chamber, temperature zoning, and an integrated control system.

Product Description
This 2.2-meter infrared drying tunnel provides rapid and efficient curing for water-based coatings applied to pulp molded products. Its focused heat promotes quick water evaporation, significantly reducing drying time compared to conventional hot air methods, leading to higher production throughput and a superior finished product quality.

Technical Parameters

Application
Ideal for drying and curing water-based barrier coatings on:

• Pulp molded food containers (trays, clamshells, plates)

• Egg cartons and cup carriers

• Industrial packaging

Customization
This dryer is highly customizable. We can adjust the power rating, the number of independent temperature zones, and the internal width to perfectly match your specific product and production speed requirements.

Feature

• Rapid Drying: Reduces curing time, increasing overall line speed.

• Energy Efficient: Infrared energy transfers directly to the coating and water molecules.

• Uniform Heating: Engineered emitter layout prevents hot spots.

• Compact Design: The 2.2-meter length is optimized for efficient space utilization.

• Easy Integration: Modular design allows for straightforward incorporation into new or existing production lines.

Support and Services
We provide integration support, operator training, and a comprehensive spare parts list. Remote diagnostics are available.

Packing and shipping
The tunnel is shipped as a single, pre-wired module, securely mounted in a robust wooden crate for safe transport.

FAQ

• Q: How does IR drying compare to hot air for water-based coatings?

  • A: IR is faster and more efficient as it heats the product and coating directly, rather than heating the air.

• Q: Can the temperature be controlled in different sections?

  • A: Yes, the dryer features customizable zoning, allowing for a tailored temperature profile (e.g., gentle pre-dry, aggressive final cure).

• Q: Is this suitable for our existing 600mm wide conveyor?

  • A: Absolutely. The internal width and mounting details are customizable to fit your line.
