Infrared Supports Continuous Composite-Pipeline Manufacture

APPLICATION CONCEPT  |  PIPELINE & ENERGY

CUSTOM INDUSTRIAL INFRARED HEATING

PUBLIC CASE REFERENCE

Apply heat before insulation
closes access to the bond line.

Pairs of short-wave modules surround the pipe ahead of tape application.

The Process Challenge

Once insulation covers a composite pipe, the adhesive region can no longer be heated effectively from outside. The process therefore needs precise heat at the correct moment.

The Infrared Approach

Pairs of short-wave modules surround the pipe ahead of tape application. High surface intensity heats the pipe and keeps the tape flexible during continuous manufacture.

1

FEED

Advance the pipe

2

IR HEAT

Prepare bond zone

3

WRAP

Apply polymer tape

4

INSULATE

Complete the structure

Application Features

  • Circumferential layout addresses the full pipe surface
  • Heating is positioned before the bond line becomes hidden
  • Fast response follows continuous line conditions
  • Zone control can balance rotating or moving geometry
  • Modular heads support field-scale equipment

Typical Configuration

PUBLIC RESULT

Reference continuous manufacture: over 450 m

TEMPERATURE

Reference insulation control: +/-3 C

REFERENCE FLUX

Up to 300 kW/m2

EMITTER

Short-wave with nano-reflector option

CONTROL

Line speed, pyrometry and zone trim

CONFIRM

Pipe, tape, adhesive and bond temperatures

APPLICATION NOTE

Public case-study reference - not a YFR performance claim. Confirm equivalent results through YFR sample testing before publishing as a customer result.
