The M-Series heaters, with a hard-coated aluminum
face has increased durability of a metal face
that is often required in the thermoforming industry.
FACE
OPTIONS
GLASS
is the standard face on the G-SERIES panel heaters. There are two
versions of this heater. The GB heater makes use of a high temperature
(1202°F/ 650°C continuous operating temperature) black glass. The GC
heater makes use of a high temperature clear (slight yellow tint) (1292°F/700°C
continuous operating temperature) glass. The remaining construction is
similar to the F-Series heater with the exception of the glass replacing
the quartz fabric as the face material.
The glass face heater is used when there is concern of material falling
onto the face of the heater. The glass face allows for easy clean up,
without damage to the heater or heating element. Common applications are
the bottom oven in a thermoforming machine or the bottom heater in a
wave solder oven.
G-SERIES
SPECIFICATIONS
Dimensionally, the heater can be as wide as 24" (610mm) and as long
as 36" (914 mm), though not this wide and long in the same heater.
A 36" (914mm) long heater is more commonly 12" (305mm) wide.
This heater has a maximum watt density of 20 wsi (31 kw/m2).
Durability is defined by a typical life expectancy of 25,000 hours. The
heater has a high radiant efficiency of 77.5%. Because the heater design
does not depend on an external reflector, the heater maintains that
efficiency over time. The G-Series heat transfer rate at 20 wsi (31 kw/m2)
is 1.9 Btu/sq. ft./sec. delivered to the product.
G-Series,
M-Series, K-Series Panel Heaters
The G-Series, M-Series and K-Series line of IR panel heaters uses high
temperature material as the radiant surface. All heaters provide uniform
coverage with the convenience of a cleanable surface.

G-Series Heater cut away sections:
M-Series
METAL
is the standard face on the M-SERIES panel heaters. The face can be
either hard-coated aluminum or porcelanized steel. The remaining
construction is exactly the same as the G-Series heaters. The heater
face can be provided with air holes for forced airflow as in the FBA
construction.
The metal face is used when there is concern of material falling onto
the heater face. The metal face is more durable than the glass face. The
flip side is that the radiant efficiency is slightly lower with a metal
face. A glass face heater allows a portion of the IR energy to transmit
through the glass and a segment of the IR energy is absorbed by the
glass and re-radiated. A metal face heater absorbs all of the energy and
re-radiates that energy to the process. In some cases, applications are
extremely grueling and require a slightly different design. This design
makes use of the hard-coated aluminum face being constructed in a cap
(pan) style. This design ensures that material cannot get inside the
heater.
M-SERIES
SPECIFICATIONS
Dimensionally, the heater can be as wide as 24" (610 mm) and as
long as 48" (1219 mm), though not this wide and long in the same
heater. A 48" (1219 mm) long heater is more commonly 12" (305
mm) wide. This heater has a maximum watt density of 10-15 wsi (15.5 - 23
kw/m2), depending on which metal face is used. Durability is
defined by a typical life expectancy of 25,000 hours. The heater has a
radiant efficiency of 64%. Because the heater design does not depend on
an external reflector, the heater maintains efficiency over time. The
M-Series heat transfer rate at 10 wsi (15.5 kw/m2) is 0.786
Btu/sq. ft./sec. delivered to the product.
K-Series
KORAMIC
is the standard face on the K-SERIES panel heaters. The face is a
ceramic material that offers many advantages. The remaining construction
is exactly the same as the G-Series heaters. The heater falls between
the glass face and metal face heaters in radiant efficiency. The koramic
face is constructed using inter-locked pieces of material. This approach
allows the face material to move as the heater expands and contracts and
therefore means that the heater can be constructed in longer lengths
than the G-Series heater. Koramic is an approved material for food
applications.
K-SERIES
SPECIFICATIONS
Dimensionally, the heater can be as wide as 24" (610mm) and as long
as 60" (1524 mm), though not this wide and long in the same heater.
A 60" (1524mm) long heater is more commonly 12" (305mm) wide.
This heater has a maximum watt density of 25 wsi (39 kw/m2).
Durability is defined by a typical life expectancy of 25,000 hours.
Because the heater design does not depend on an external reflector, the
heater maintains that efficiency over time.
GLASS
FACE WARM-UP CURVE Warm-up
curves are measured from heaters running face down in open air. The
thermocouple is located in the standard location in a thermowell located
behind the coil. Curves will change with environment and thermocouple
location.
