The existing method of activating the thermal transfer in a gas-fired convection heat tunnel did not consistently make a complete transfer of the characters to the keyboards.
Excessive Scrap
The existing line speed of 15 feet (4.6 meters) did not produce enough finished keyboards to satisfy customer demands.
Solution
Heat
Two Model 4554-A-25-12 High Density Pyropanels were used to provide a precise amount of heat to the thermal transfer.
Instant On/Off
The High Density Pyropanels heated up and cooled down instantly in response to keyboard placement on the line.
