Pet blowing ovens are one of the areas that most need infrared technology. The pet preform is provided to reach a certain temperature by passing through the infared oven just before the inflation process in the mold with compressed air. The temperature setting must be made very precisely in order to prevent the preform from deforming.
IR technology is very important in pet blowing ovens. The main reasons for this are;
- To provide a homogeneous heat dissipation on the preform
- The preform must be subjected to different temperatures due to the thick cap area and thin bottom part. The most effective method for this is IR technology.
- Water, carbonated beverage, etc. The need of companies to respond to needs makes machine speed an important factor. Infrared blow molding furnaces are preferred over indirect heating systems because they perform very fast and effective heating.
- Maintenance and repair time is very short.
- Maintenance and repair cost is low.
NIR Pet blow molding furnaces, called Elcon N Type, are designed using NIR infrared technology and a special reflective surface, and they are furnaces that save 35% energy compared to other furnaces. Advantages of Elcon NIR Pet blow molding oven;
- Maximum heating is provided by using very high color temperature with NIR Infrared technology.
- Provides 35% energy saving compared to other IR furnaces.
- Thanks to the special ceramic reflective surface, all the rays passing through the preforms fall on the preform again with the help of the ceramic surface.
- The reflectors behind the infrared lamps are designed with a special 'w' angle in order to light the infrared rays. 'W' shaped reflectors drop all the falling rays on the preform. It is 30% more reflective than other reflectors. With this feature, energy savings reach the maximum. It can do the same job with lower power consumption compared to other furnaces of equal power.
