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. Used in HalCon Tunnels, they can operate in both Medium-Wave and Short-Wave IR heat and can also generate Electric-Convection heat. These tunnels use 50% less power to operate than a gas system and are environmentally friendly with zero carbon emissions. They reduce cure times--allowing for higher productivity--with less 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.
HalCon Tunnels use a touch-screen PLC for all tunnel operations and have the ability to communicate with our PowerCart conveyor system to initiate the heat program best suited for the product the PowerCart is carrying.
