Halogen

The Halogen element is the most energy efficient heat source available. It reaches full operating temperature in one second and can be used in any type of drying or forming process. In HalCon Tunnels, they operate in both Medium and Short Wave Infrared (IR) and are also used to generate Electric-Convection heat. These tunnels use 50% less power to operate than a gas system and are environmentally friendly with zero carbon emissions. From the manufacturing perspective, they reduce cure times--allowing for higher productivity--do not produce significant ambient heat in the factory for a much better employee working environment, and are safer than any gas system because the halogent elements are sealed and do not need oxygen to operate.

Medium-Wave IR

Medium-Wave force flashes the coating to expedite curing at a wavelength of ~2.6 microns.

Short Wave

Short-Wave penetrates coatings to drive solvents out and complete the cure at a wavelength of ~1.1 microns.
