For more than 40 years, KRELUS have

been specialists for Infrared-heaters. With

the emphasis on the special high perfor-

mance IR-heaters based on an innovative

technology, KRELUS customers have a

competent partner for both standard and

custom made heating solutions.

Alongside many more applications some

the

interesting

areas

are:

- Heating of composite materials from car-

bon-/glass-/natural-fibres containing a ma-

trix of PP/PA/PEEK/etc.

-Embossing of PVC/PA/etc.

-Thermoforming

-Coating of paper, foils, metals, films and

textiles

-Lamination of a wide variety of materials

-Pre-drying and heating equipment.

The superior, innovative KRELUS techno-

logy applies direct radiation heat from its

resistance source to the product (without

any glass quartz or ceramics). High thermal insulation materials

prevent heat loss from the reverse side of the heaters. The very

rapid response time of the KRELUS medium-wave IR-heaters al-

lows operations with precise temperature control on the product

surface and they can be switched instantly ON and OFF even for

short production breaks.

Most products (thermoplastics/paper/textiles) absorb heat energy

in the medium wave range (± 3,0 µm) extremely well.

The emission range of the KRELUS-IR is perfectly matched to these

absorption ranges. This fact leads to a higher efficiency and con-

Energy saving with KRELUS IR-Heaters

sequently to cost savings in comparison to traditional standard

heaters.

KRELUS IR-heaters are available in standard modules in a variety of

sizes and capacities. Custom made solutions are available up to

approximately 8,000 mm in a single piece. The modular sizes fa-

cilitates individual control zones of various dimensions or to ma-

nage uniform temperature profiles in continuous processes.
