Infrared Dryers

Introduction

As an industry leader with over 50 years of engineering expertise, Kerone designs and manufactures state-of-the-art infrared dryers systems that ensure precision, reliability, and superior drying performance. These dryers leverage advanced infrared heating technology to achieve faster, more uniform, and energy-efficient drying for a wide range of industrial materials.

Infrared (IR) dryers are modern day industrial drying solutions for material surface, Infrared (IR) dryer uses the infrared radiations, and Infrared radiations are invisible electromagnetic radiation whose wavelength is longer than the visible light wave range between 0.78 and 1000 µm. This type of radiation has characteristic to transfer thermal energy from warmer object to cooler object. The desired heat is produced at the surface of the targeted material, heat is produced on surface by matching the infrared emission spectrum of radiator to the absorption capacity of material.

Why Choose Kerone Infrared Dryers

Kerone’s infrared dryers are built upon decades of R&D and process engineering excellence. Each system is custom-configured based on the nature of material, moisture content, and required throughput. Our in-house design expertise ensures maximum efficiency, reduced energy consumption, and consistent product quality.
Kerone is known as one of the early bird in Infrared drying segment, we are in first few heating/drying solution provider who started advocating in favour of Infrared as source to produce the heat required from drying, in these several years we have played crucial role in the transformation that happened in segment of drying in Asia and other continents. We as known for our designing custom build drying solutions that are strictly adhere to the client’s process and pocket requirement without compromising quality of dryer and output material. The Infrared dryers (IR Dryers) are designed and customized to fit into need of your process need for drying requirement.

Types and Features of Infrared Dryers

Kerone offers a wide range of infrared dryers models tailored for specific industrial needs. Depending on the application, these dryers can be designed for continuous or batch operation, with variable frequency control, temperature adjustment, and automated monitoring.

These dryers provide exceptional flexibility with modular configurations and process control options, ensuring adaptability across sectors such as food, chemicals, pharmaceuticals, textiles, and more.

Infrared waves are primarily classified based on their wavelength range:

Types of Infrared Waves:

Short Wave Infrared: Wavelength range from 780 nm to 1400 nm
Medium Wave Infrared: Wavelength range from 1400 nm to 3000 nm
Far Infrared (Dark Emitters): Wavelengths above 3000 nm

Infrared dryers belong to family of generate heat at targeted material type of dryers similar to microwave and RF dryers, however key difference is Infrared generates heat on the surface or material. Infrared dryers are best substitute to the conventional type dryers due to its property of dryer from outer crust to inner part.

Infrared dryer utilizes the high end infrared radiators as main source of heating, due this utilization of infrared for heating help the dryer to provide various advantages such as high efficiency, low response time, evenly heating the surface of material, lower energy consumption, Green technology and compact in size.

Infrared air dryers are highly efficient systems that convert electrical energy directly into heat, ensuring maximum energy utilization with minimal loss. They provide a greater rate of heat transfer, allowing products to dry faster while maintaining consistent quality. Compact in size, these dryers heat only the targeted object without unnecessarily warming the surrounding environment, resulting in improved energy savings and workplace comfort. Their design allows easy zoning for uniform heating across the product surface, including convenient cut-off zones for narrow widths. With a faster response to changing process conditions, quick start-up and shut-down capabilities, and simple automation controls, infrared air dryers offer excellent operational flexibility. They also involve lower capital and installation costs and can be easily integrated into existing conventional drying systems to enhance line speed. Additionally, infrared air dryers are particularly suitable for solvent-based coatings, delivering efficient and controlled drying performance.
