Pre-Heating
Pre-Heating is when during a form of manufacturing the material in question requires to undergo a heating process before the next phase can take place, such as the soldering of PCBs.
Infrared heat is the perfect partner for this part of the process, the instant heat allows you to quickly heat the material but also in a very energy efficient way. For example, with PCB manufacturing it allows you to heat before fluxing, during fluxing and post fluxing which has clear advantages and improved quality.
Annealing
Annealing is the process of heating metal or glass and allowing it cool slowly in order to remove any internal stresses therefore making it easier to work with.
Infrared heat is the ideal heat source to use for annealing as it can give you more control in relation to temperature regulation along with the quicker time and the energy efficiency.
Filter Manufacturing
At Victory, we work with manufacturers of all types including those involved with filters.
In order to keep the filter itself completely rigid and consistent a top and bottom needs to be installed.
The adhesive needs to be activated before the plastic top is applied and cured into place. Short-Wave IR reduces the amount of time spent on each filter therefore increasing production yield and saving running costs.
Battering Manufacturing
Infrared technology is ideal for various, specialist drying applications, including for the manufacturing of batteries.
The efficiency of the short-wave infrared technology makes it an ideal heat source in this manufacturing application.
IR is used for the process of drying the electrode slurry, so a consistent, controlled temperature is absolutely key.
Products – IR lamps, IR Modules
Adhesives
Adhesives are used in so many manufacturing applications and often need to undergo an activation and a drying process, the use of Infrared heating technology has dramatically improved productivity in this industry.
Some adhesives need to be activated but others such as water-based adhesives need to be dried.
Infrared heat can improve productivity, give a more uniform level of adhesion, and allow you to do more in the same amount of time.
