Layout

Hangline Tunnels are activated by a timed motion sensor and interlocked to the conveyor to turn OFF if the line stops. Multiple heat zones are each controlled by IR sensors continually monitor product surface temperature. This allows you to ramp up temperatures and operate in different IR wave-lengths based on the coating. Heated air is circulated throughout the tunnel and directly over the hanging part to create an air curtain around it. All halogen heat and heated air are controlled by the PLC's 7” touch screen. All interior walls use highly reflective anodized aluminum to reflect the Infrared heat back to your hanging part. System size is based on line speed and the type of coating being used. Heat is precisely controlled with the use of digital thermostats and IR sensors that hold part temperature to +/- 3 degrees Fahrenheit.

This precise heat regulation and the use of high volume blowers circulating internal air over the product result in the fast cure times our systems achieve. A two stage heat flashoff lets you place your product immediately into the oven to start the cure process.
