APPLICATION CONCEPT | PRINTING & CONVERTING
CUSTOM INDUSTRIAL INFRARED HEATING
Water-based ink must release moisture quickly enough to match the press, while paper and polymer webs remain sensitive to excess heat. Unexpected stops can create an additional risk of web damage.
Medium-wave infrared can be combined with managed airflow and line-speed control. The emitter field responds quickly, while exhaust removes released moisture and a stop signal can reduce heat immediately.
