Vulcatherm
Medium Wave Quartz Infra-Red Emitters provide quick drying benefits to
the screen printing industry in drying units as used by Zadu Screen Print.
Medium wave Infra-Red units have been used since the energy can penetrate
to a considerable depth into an ink film, without excessive amounts of
energy passing through overheating the substrate. The drying cycle for
individual colours is six seconds.
Vulcatherm
medium wave emitters provide heating which when linked with a suitable
control system provides fast and responsive control but is not prone to
the colour selectivity of shorter wave length heaters, this factor allows
for consistent drying times and improved production efficiency.
Inks that are particularly suited to infra-red drying are the formulations
which cure by thermally induced polymerisation
