| Dental Production Firing, drying and curing for the dental production processing applications
|
Dental processing facilities find the LA-306-series furnaces small, economical and fast. The LA-series Dental furnaces are for higher production rates on a 9 or 10" belt. Near-infrared furnaces provide dental applications with cost effective and easy to operate solutions. |
Near infrared furnaces can heat up to 400-950 C and stabilize in less than 10 minutes. When it is
time to change profile or shut down, they can cool down to 400°C in less than 10 minutes.

Thick Film Processing |
The Thick Film industry was revolutionized by the develpoment of the first fast-fire thick film firing
furnace in the early 80's. Today IR furnaces still provide the fastest heat up and cool down times. |
TF Series furnaces can heat up to 1000°C and stabilize in less than 10 minutes. When it is time to change profile or shut down, they can cool down to
400°C in less than 10 minutes. TF-Series Furnaces  |

Infrared dryers engage transfer of both mass and energy. Heat is transferred from the IR emitters by both radiant and convection means into the
polymer solution and causes evaporation of the solvent. As infrared thermal energy is emitted from lamps above the polymer-substrate, the solvent absorbs the IR radiation triggering vibrations of its molecules and a subsequent transfer of mass and heat. Flowing air introduced through the chamber walls exits through the exhaust stack carrying away the water vapor and solvent vapor. |
D-Series IR Dryers precisely control temperatures to 200°C and higher along with control of process gas flow to assure removal
of moisure and released solvents.
