Electric IR is 4 times faster at curing or heating than convection. Gas catalytic is 3 times faster than convection. This speeds up the process and reduces the footprint.

TESTING LAB
Prior to the production phase, product applications are tested at our full-scale production/lab facility. Our testing facility includes a number of industrial ovens. The ovens are equipped with infrared heating elements such as ceramic generators, ceramic panel heaters, coil-o-rods, quartz tube, gas catalytic and convection or high-velocity air ovens.
In our testing lab, we evaluate heating processes, various control features and material handling options. This allows us to design the most appropriate oven for your heating needs. Our infrared ovens can process metal, glass, plastic, wood, and fabric substrates. To meet your short and large production run requirements, we build batch systems as well as indexing and continuous conveyor systems. The flexibility of your oven can be enhanced through the integration of independent control zones, special material handling systems and automated loading systems. Additionally, we can customize our equipment with different configurations to suit your specific testing needs. This includes high volume air oven testing equipment.
Above all, Blasdel knows that testing prior to design is imperative. It helps to ensure efficient results after installation in your facility. THESE RESULTS INCLUDE DATAPAQ REPORTS WITH TIME AND TEMPERATURE RESULTS, PICTURES AND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS. SAMPLE ATTACHED SEPARATELY. Potential customers may lease small test sets on a monthly basis for their own research purposes as well. We will then work with the customer to not only help them evaluate their test results as well as learn from them for a better understanding of the design needed to achieve their improved production goals. Reading the “What is Infrared Energy” technical manual linked below also helps to provide a better and more thorough understanding of how our Infrared industrial ovens will help with meeting production objectives.
