Composite Bonding

Composite bonding, curing, and forming are a complex and expensive process, which involves skilled labour, high quality materials and exposure to high temperatures for a precisely controlled amount of time.

Traditionally Autoclave ovens have been used to deliver this heat. For smaller mouldings Infrared radiation is a cheaper and more versatile solution, Infrared emitters can be fitted into mobile units equipped with timers and thermocouples.

These can be designed to almost any shape required. Infrared provides immediate heat and are low on energy consumption, which in turn helps users save costs.

Seat De-Wrinkling

Infrared heat technology can be used for a lot of processes involved in manufacturing seat components including de-wrinkling the seat covers.

The heat process allows the material to expand in order to be formed over the seat itself in a smooth and clean finish.

Infrared heat gives us a uniform and consistent heat output that is much quicker and more energy efficient compared to hot air systems previously used.

Aircraft Repair

Various components of an aircraft regularly require repairs and maintenance.

Infrared heating technology is a perfect solution for drying and curing various materials found in the wings and other components of the aircraft.

These are typically made of composites, layered and other multi-faceted carbon-based materials and the direct, penetrative heat of Infrared means a more consistent heat output as well as reducing the time required to cure these materials.
