FAST DRYING LINE FOR CERAMIC PRODUCTS
The problems that occur in the delicate ceramic product drying phase after pressing or casting are well known, especially when their shape is complex.
These problems can be overcome using the innovative POLYLINE DRYER line equipped with exclusive STALAM LWIR technology.
Arranged in appropriate positions in the drying line, STALAM LWIR panels make it possible to dry ceramic or other products that are permeable to LWIR radiation very quickly and in an absolutely uniform manner, with the prevention of surface defects or deep fissures, while rendering the products ready immediately for the next operations.
It is possible to adjust the radiated LWIR power, and therefore the drying effect, by varying the temperature of the radiant elements (generally between 200°C and 300°C).
Thanks to its practical and versatile management system, the POLYLINE DRYER is suitable for applications in a wide range of processes that require surface or in-depth treatments, depending on the characteristics of the product.
The POLYLINE DRYER is a modular line (tunnel) that STALAM can configure according to customers’ different needs.
MAIN ADVANTAGES OF FAST PRODUCT DRYING
Uniform and simultaneous drying even of products with complex shapes.
