Halogen infrared heating lamps have many advantages when used in screen printing dryers. The following is a detailed introduction:
Quick drying
Halogen infrared heating tubes can quickly increase the temperature and reach the working temperature in a short time, thereby effectively shortening the drying time of screen printing products and improving production efficiency.
For example, in some screen printing orders that require fast turnover, dryers using halogen infrared heating tubes can enable printed products to reach drying requirements within a few minutes, greatly reducing waiting time compared to natural drying or traditional heating methods.
Uniform heating
The infrared rays it emits have strong penetrability and can penetrate the ink layer, allowing the solvent inside and at the bottom of the ink to evaporate quickly, achieving uniform drying, avoiding the situation where the surface is dry but the inside is not dry, and improving the quality of printed products.
For example, in the case of printing thick ink layers or multi-layer printing, traditional heating methods may cause uneven drying of the ink, while halogen infrared heating tubes can ensure that the entire ink layer can be fully dried, making the printed pattern clearer and firmer.
Precise temperature control
With the corresponding temperature control equipment, the halogen infrared heating tube can accurately control the drying temperature, meet the precise temperature control requirements of different inks, different printing materials and different drying requirements, and help ensure the color and quality stability of printed products.
For example, for some special inks that are sensitive to temperature, by accurately controlling the temperature, the ink can be better cured during the drying process, showing the best color and gloss.
Energy saving and high efficiency
Compared with traditional heating methods, the halogen infrared heating tube has a higher heating efficiency and can convert more electrical energy into infrared radiation energy, which directly acts on the printed products for heating and drying, reducing heat loss and waste, thereby achieving energy saving.
Take a screen printing company as an example. After using the dryer of the halogen infrared heating tube, the energy consumption has been reduced by about 30%-40% compared with before, and the production efficiency has also been significantly improved.
