Infrared Preheats Glass Jars for Faster Hot Filling industry application

The Process Challenge

Hot filling into cold glass can create thermal shock. Hot-water rinsing may introduce stoppages, uneven temperatures and a demanding working environment.

The Infrared Approach

A multi-zone carbon infrared tunnel preheats empty glass jars before filling. Temperature feedback at the outlet can regulate the final zone and follow line conditions.

1

LOAD

Feed empty jars

2

PREHEAT

Raise wall temp

3

VERIFY

Check outlet temp

4

FILL

Receive hot product

Application Features

  • Dry, non-contact alternative to hot-water preheating
  • Multiple zones support a controlled temperature ramp
  • Fast response reduces warm-up and stop-line exposure
  • Outlet temperature can close the control loop
  • Stainless construction can suit packaging areas

Typical Configuration

PUBLIC RESULT

Reference line-speed increase: 10%

REFERENCE SCALE

About 124 kW, two sections, six zones

EMITTER

Carbon medium-wave infrared

CONTROL

Manual/automatic mode and pyrometer

CUSTOM DESIGN

Jar size, tunnel length, zones and guarding

CONFIRM
