Infrared curing systems offer many advantages over traditional heat source. The intense energy generated by the infrared source cures the thin layer of powder coating very quickly without heating products. This result is significant, energy cost saving, no air flows reduces powder runs and avoid contaminants reduced airing time and saving floor space. Uniformity is easily controlled by PLC with SCR.

Two dimensional parts with a uniform wall thickness, such as powder coated aluminium or steel panels are the simplest to heat using infrared radiation. Infrared system often allows the throughput of powder coating line to be increased.

Medium and long wave emitters are best because they produce some convection heat along with the infrared.
