Heating of thermoplastic composites before stamping

• Heating of all types of glass fiber or carbon fiber sheets and fabrics
• Production oven or research lab oven
• Evolutive oven capable of heating all types of thermoplastic composites : PP, PA6, PA66, PET, PEI, PEEK, etc…
• Infrared heater with low inertia for fast and precise heating with live power regulation
• Horizontal ou vertical heating
• Cycle time from 30 to 120 seconds depending on the product
• Energy consumption much lower than when using convection only

Thermocompression of carpets and sound-proof materials

• Heating of carpets and heavy masses
• Short-wave or medium-wave infrared heaters with low inertia for fast and precise heating
• Single- or double-sided heating enabling a cycle time from 30 to 60 seconds
• Multiple zones with the possibility to locally heat heavy mass patches
• Very low energy consumption
• Robust equipment necessiting nearly no maintenance

Thermoforming of plastic sheets

• Heating of plastic sheets of all types and all thicknesses
• Short-wave or medium-wave infrared heaters with low inertia for fast and precise heating
