Within an industrial plant, the use of infrared technology such as T3 lamps helps production managers meet various operational objectives. In terms of energy efficiency for example, convection heating of the parts or substrate simply doesn’t compare to the levels achieved by infrared systems. Infrared solutions can also help factories increase line speeds while saving money on energy consumption. That’s why many manufacturing plants often switch to infrared for process heating.

Other benefits include smaller footprint on the production floor, shorter set up times, easy control of temperature and controllable speed. Electric infrared ovens tend to be more compact in size because electric infrared emitters like T3s deliver more heat to the product in less space than convection ovens, therefore floor space is better utilized. Because heat delivered by infrared emitters is not dependent on convection (air flow), infrared ovens usually require much less insulation and bulky frames.

An infrared oven or dryer’s operating parameters are versatile because most systems ...
... have short setup times, easy control of temperature and controllable speed. Consequently, many different products with different heat profiles and desired results can be run on the same manufacturing line.

Increases in line speeds that increase production rates usually are attainable by adding infrared modules. The length of most convection ovens is set to heat products for a particular time based on line speed through the oven or dryer. Many operations that have convection dryers add infrared to the input or output side to increase speed and production.

Headquartered in northern New Jersey, Anderson Thermal Devices is known throughout the process heating industry as a leader of infrared technology. The company works directly with manufacturers within the glass, photovoltaic, electronics, semiconductor, battery, printing and automotive industries. Infrared T3 lamps can be used in dozens of industries across hundreds of curing, drying, heating, annealing and sintering applications.

The T3 lamps come in twin tube, single tube, shortwave, fast response medium wave and medium wave configurations. Tests show that T3 ceramic reflector lamps have a much longer operating life than gold reflector lamps. Custom sizes, wattages and voltages are available.

Anderson Thermal Devices’ engineers work in tandem with customers to develop the right solution for each customer. Decades of experience and lab trials help determine the right industrial heater system, panel heaters, cassettes or T3 lamp, to meet the customer’s goals of product quality, line speed and energy efficiency.
