Existing heating method did not provide even heat.
Wasted Time
The existing heat source took long periods of time to heat up and cool down.
Excessive Scrapped Product
The limitations of the existing heating method resulted in an unacceptable amount of scrapped product.
Solution
Heat
A Model E4-10 Radiant Heating Chamber applied even heating to the plastic extrusion.
Instant On/Off
The Radiant Heating Chamber heated up and cooled down instantly.
Power Control
A Model 664F Phase Angle SCR Power Controller controlled the Radiant Heating Chamber.
System Integration
A tachometer feedback switch installed as part of the system cut off power to the Radiant Heating Chamber if the line shut down.
Benefits
Improved Quality
The Model E4-10 Radiant Heating Chamber provided the precise amount of even heating required to produce quality plastic extrusion.
Saved Time
No time was lost waiting for the Radiant Heating Chamber to heat up or cool down.
Reduced Scrap
Product scrap was significantly reduced as a result of the instant on/off capabilities of the Radiant Heating Chamber combined with the tachometer feedback switch.
