This configuration is built for case goods (cabinets, furniture, panels and parts); product on racks also cures, at a slower rate. Also available: the Rack model of the same length, which carries more elements for rack-loaded work, and lengths from 6 to 18 ft.

Solvent-borne coatings typically start with a heated-air flash, move to medium-wave IR to gently bring solvents to the surface, then switch to short-wave IR for the final cure. Waterborne coatings need less flash time and enter short-wave IR much earlier. Short-wave IR penetrates the film and cures from the inside out, driving water out instead of trapping it under a skinned surface the way gas convection or air drying can.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eControls\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAllen-Bradley PLC with 7\" color touchscreen HMI, multiple program menus, push-button start\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIR sensors hold product temperature within ±3°F; heated air is controlled by thermocouple\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTunnel shuts off automatically when the cure program completes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eOperating cost and shop comfort\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHalogen elements reach full temperature in about one second, with no preheat or purge, so the tunnel only draws power while a cycle is running\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProduct typically reaches set-point in about 45 seconds; lamps then pulse to hold temperature.
