Combining Gas IR and Drum Dryers for New Drying Efficiencies.(use of natural gas infra-red technology in food and paper industries)

Plant Engineering, December, 2000

Natural gas Infra-Red (IR) technology has achieved very high levels of heat transfer efficiency in various industries, from powder finishes to baking food products. With new wider turndown ratios and near-instant response, natural gas IR is being chosen for an ever-expanding range of applications.

Two of the most recent developments, combining IR benefits with drum-dryer designs, promise to extend the time and energy-savings advantages of IR heating through the food and paper industries.

IR Drum Dryer Delivers 2.5 Times Higher Drying Rate Over Steam Drums

For decades, paper mills have depended on massive steam-heated drums to remove moisture from the wet product, in many cases augmenting the devices with strategically-located infra-red...
