Problem
Three Coatings
The different drying characteristics of the primer, top coating and varnish had to be accommodated by a single drying system on the paint line.
Lack of Floor Space
There was virtually no floor space to install an in-line drying system.
Line Speed
Line speeds of 60 feet (18 meters) per minute were required initially, with expected increases within 12 months.
Solution
Heat
Six Model 4185-25 Infrared Strip Heaters were used to dry the coatings in line.
Power Control
A Model 664K Phase Angle SCR Power Controller controlled the Infrared Strip Heaters.
Vertical Installation
The Infrared Strip Heaters were installed vertically using vertical burn lamps.
Benefits
Single Drying System
The versatility of the Model 4185 Infrared Strip Heaters allowed the manufacturer to dry all three coatings with a single drying system.
Well-Utilized Space
The vertical installation of the drying system did not use valuable floor space.
Fast Drying Time
All three coatings could be dried within 8 seconds and the required line speed was achieved.
Modular Design
The modular system design could handle future increases in line speed with an increase in the number of Infrared Strip Heaters used in the system.
