The Air Radiation Heater from Leister

Friday, November 05, 2010 by Leister Process Technologies

By combining heat absorption and heat convection, the new air radiation heater from Leister takes large-area drying and targeted heat input applications to the next level. Its external, optional temperature regulation allows for the specific fine tuning of the heat applied to the material.

On request, the infrared heater comes in combination with hot or ambient air supplied by a Leister air heater. The air radiation heater is designed to maximize your heating process in terms of energy efficiency resulting in higher productivity.

Leister's air radiation heater can be used in dozens of different applications. Typical applications for radiation heating include drying, shrinking, forming, activating, pre-heating and curing.

Features of Leister's air radiation heater include:

  • IR radiation is effectively absorbed by most materials
  • Designed for continous operation in industrial environments
  • The small heater footprint allows integration into small spaces in machines
  • Standalone operation without air supply is possible
  • Can be used to evacuate humid air in drying processes by reversing the airflow through the air radiation heater
  • Modular design allows multiple air radiation heaters to be used to cover large areas
  • Ideal in combination with either hot air or ambient air and radiation
