Dürr - IR and Hybrid Dryers
Dürr offers gas-fired and electric IR configurations to meet the demands of a variety of products and applications. These include systems designed for complete drying, preheating, pre-drying, fusing, curing and profiling. By combining the correct wavelength infrared and optimizing of the control system, precise process conditions can be achieved to maximize product quality in the most efficient manner.IR can be applied in roll support or belt conveyor ovens. In addition, it can be uniquely combined with flotation and/or impingement drying systems to enhance the performance of the overall drying or curing process. Our IR ovens can be designed in horizontal, vertical, or arched configurations depending on the specific product and space requirements.
In critical drying applications, concurrent application of both convection plus IR can enhance drying quality and achieve throughput benefits not possible with convection or IR alone.
Dürr Megtec offers a patented combi-flotation and IR air bar dryer, allowing one- or two-sided IR drying, even in horizontal, as well as vertical web paths without the need for shutters or grating to prevent web fires. In non-flotation applications, combi-IR and convection roll support arrangements are available. This configuration features a patented shutter system for use in applications where quick on-off function of the IR is critical, even in medium-long wave IR applications.
