Energy-efficient heating system

Published:  07 February, 2018

Untitled.jpgA custom-built, fast response medium wave (FRMW) infra-red heating system from HERAEUS NOBLELIGHT is helping in the production line fitting of sound-deadening pads to the Jaguar F-TYPE at Jaguar Land Rover’s manufacturing site at Castle Bromwich. Following successful tests carried out at Heraeus’s Neston Applications Centre, a compact 12 kW medium wave infra-red oven was installed at the pad fitting location on the production line. This is contained within a 1.6m aluminium framework, which features two heated zones, each equipped with three, 2kW fast response medium wave emitters with integral gold reflectors for maximum efficiency.

The company says the new oven has proved extremely easy to operate and its compact size has allowed it to be comfortably fitted within the limited line side space available.

    HERAEUS NOBLELIGHT, a specialist in the production and application of high quality energy sources covering the electro-magnetic spectrum from ultraviolet to infrared, offers products and systems to provide efficient solutions to drying, heating and curing problems and has announced it will be showing examples of its expertise at Advanced Engineering, 2nd-3rd November, NEC Birmingham, Stand L100.

  • Carbon infra-red oven 

    A purpose-built carbon infra-red oven has reportedly been instrumental in allowing Duerr’s of Manchester to change from a hot water rinse system to a cold air rinse system at its Wythenshawe jam-making site. As a result, water-usage and water-heating bills have been significantly reduced and more effective control has been established over the total jar heating and rinsing process.

  • Infra-red speeds up process 

    Short wave infra-red emitters from HERAEUS NOBLELIGHT have allowed Mettis Aerospace to reduce the time required for the heating of tools and dies used in the manufacture of high specification titanium aircraft components to one seventh of the heating times required by a previous gas system. This has provided significant energy savings and improved controllability, as well as improved forging practices at the company’s Redditch site.
