The custom designed rectangular chamber curing system uses high intensity infrared lamps and polished aluminum reflectors to deliver heat precisely where it is needed for many curing and drying applications on extrusion lines. It can be used effectively to provide a surface cure to rubber extrusions, dry adhesives and coatings on rubber or metal, and provide in-process curing between layers of multi-layer cable. The heater is configured into six zones that provide defined heat intensities to match the profile of the product passing through the heater. Multiple recipes are provided to allow quick change-over from product to product.

The system includes a rectangular shaped ChamberIR heater with an opening that is 14" wide by 4" high, an operator interface pedestal with a color touch-screen display, height adjustment with plus/minus 15 degrees of tilt off horizontal, and convenient connection points for power, water, and air. The system also includes an optical pyrometer to monitor product temperature, product guides located on both the input and output ends of the chamber, product brake sensing to shut power down based on line speed, and an air nozzle kit to provide forced air inside the heating chamber to increase efficiencies in curing and drying or to provide rapid cooling in the event of a line stoppage.
