Industrial infrared heating technology has become a core heating method in modern manufacturing. By converting electrical energy into infrared radiant energy, it directly heats objects, avoiding the energy transfer losses associated with traditional heating methods. This technology not only achieves up to 95% energy conversion efficiency but also reaches 100% heat output within 1-2 seconds, greatly improving industrial production efficiency. As an innovator in the infrared heating field, YFR combines advanced engineering technology with strict quality control to provide a series of high-performance, highly reliable infrared heating solutions for global manufacturing.
Infrared heating is a heat transfer method based on electromagnetic radiation. Its working principle involves infrared emitters generating electromagnetic waves of specific wavelengths. When these waves contact the object being heated, they are absorbed and converted into thermal energy. This heating method is far more efficient than traditional convection or conduction heating because it acts directly on the target object without medium transmission.
Excellent Energy Efficiency: YFR infrared tubes can convert up to 95% of electrical energy into infrared radiant energy, far surpassing traditional heating methods.
Extremely Fast Response Time: YFR infrared tubes can reach 100% power output within 1-2 seconds, significantly shortening production cycles.
Precise Temperature Control: Utilizing the minimal thermal inertia characteristics of high-quality quartz tubes, the heating process achieves fast and precise control, allowing arbitrary power output settings from 0-100% for heating modules.
Environmental Friendliness: Pure electric drive, no combustion process, no harmful gases or odors produced, compliant with global environmental standards.
Bosch Rexroth adopted Heraeus Special Light's infrared heating system to replace traditional hot air ovens in their electric motor manufacturing process, with impressive results:
50% Reduction in Floor Space: The new system requires only about 1 square meter of floor space.
Over 90% Reduction in Heating Time: Depending on rotor size, infrared heating takes only 2-4 minutes to reach the required temperature, compared to 60 minutes for traditional hot air ovens.
Significant Reduction in Ambient Temperature Rise: The short response time of radiators means much less ambient temperature increase compared to hot air heating, improving working conditions.
Patricia Tschorn, Process Development Engineer at Bosch Rexroth, commented: "We have different diameter rotors here, and they can all be easily preheated through the infrared system. The short response time of the radiators is very useful."
