The introduction of infrared emitters into the process heating industry has helped companies emanating from range of manufacturing fields to reduce their operating expenditure by limiting energy costs and increasing their overall operational efficiency. In order to ensure that your company is utilizing the latest and most efficient process heating equipment available on the market, you require the services of an expert company that has the in-house knowledgebase and industry experience to select the exact product required to improve your processes, and the engineering expertise to manufacture that product for a precise fit within your existing manufacturing line.
Headquartered in Hawthorne, New Jersey, Anderson Thermal Devices is considered one of the leading manufacturers within the process heating industry. Their extensive product catalogue includes a vast array of shortwave and medium wave infrared emitters that are designed to offer an environmentally friendly, energy efficient solution to companies across numerous industries. By working with Anderson Thermal Devices, companies from the electronics, automotive, glass, composites, printing, semiconductor, and membrane switches industries as well as others have been able to meet profit targets and vastly improve the efficiency of their in-house working processes.
The company's catalogue boasts a first-class array of products for their customers' most complex of applications. Consider for example Anderson Thermal Devices' quartz halogen shortwave infrared lamps, which come in a variety of lengths and provide heating temperatures of up to 2400?C while operating at full capacity at a peak energy wavelength of 1.15 microns. In less than one second, these infrared emitters reach 90% heating capacity through the utilization of a thin quartz envelope, which allows for the transmission of the IR energy in the process of protecting the filament from corrosion and convective cooling while in operation. Quartz halogen infrared emitters utilize a low mass tungsten filament to offer a high temperature source that responds quickly to changes in voltage, allowing company technicians precise control over the heating process. Clients can also request to have a white ceramic reflector coating applied to the back of the infrared lamp, for unidirectional heating capability.
Anderson Thermal Devices also offers twin tube infrared emitters, which take just one second to reach maximum temperatures at short wavelengths and 20-30 seconds at the medium wavelength.
Anderson Thermal Devices also offers clients their line of Fast Response Medium Wavelengths [FRMW] Infrared Lamps. This piece of equipment utilizes a tungsten coil filament, which allows for greater energy distribution at higher wattages at the medium wavelength. The equipment within Anderson Thermal Devices' selection of FRMW infrared lamps are ideal for a company's most intensive of drying applications because medium wave infrared energy is easily absorbed by water, a range of plastics, inks and paints and thus can improve line speeds by a considerable margin.
