APPLICATION CONCEPT | PLASTICS PROCESSING
CUSTOM INDUSTRIAL INFRARED HEATING
Pipe ends and selected tube sections must be softened before bending, socketing or groove forming. Hot air, liquid baths and contact heaters may warm a larger area than necessary and can complicate clamping or automation.
Ring-shaped, segmented or linear infrared emitters can concentrate heat on the forming zone. The emitter geometry, heated length and power profile are adapted to the pipe material, diameter and wall thickness.
