VIDEOS: INFRARED OVENS AND CATALYTIC HEATERS

1. Fundamentals of Infrared Heating (5:34) – The Vulcan gas catalytic infrared heater is a unique technology which has cost savings and productivity advantages over other process heating technologies. The construction and operation of Vulcan Catalytic heaters are presented in this informative video.

2. Industrial Infrared Process Heating (3:28) – Industrial process heating using gas catalytic infrared is explain with images, graphs and video of applications in this informative video. This fast and direct way to heat materials avoids the need to heat all of the surrounding air. The flameless gas infrared heaters are less costly than using electrical infrared in most cases.

3. Infrared Catalytic Heaters (5:34) – The Vulcan gas catalytic infrared heater is a unique technology which has cost savings and productivity advantages over other process heating technologies. The construction and operation of Vulcan Catalytic heaters are presented in this informative video.

1. Infrared Oven Design and Construction (5:29) – The design methology and construction techniques of the industrial Vulcan gas fired catatlytic ovens are presented. Videos, images and animations are all used to better explain the tought process and experience Vulcan engineers bring to this creative process. The ovens are all modular and custom made to each application.

2. Gas Pulse System (GPS) (2:25) –The Gas Pulse System (GPS) was developed by Vulcan to provide an energy efficient and effective means of modulating a heater. This video explains this system which is easy to adjust and controlled by PLC.

3. Control Panels and Gas Pulse Systems (6:28) –Industrial infrared ovens Control Panels and the Gas Pulse System for controlling gas infrared heaters from Vulcan Catalytic Systems. The components and their functions are reviewed in this informative presentation. These control panels are sophisticated yet user freindly. Menu driven PLC controllers can be programmed to store many variations of infrared heater zones output and time process settings for the various parts and heating cycles. Manual controllers can also be used where less flexibility is needed.

4. PLC Control Panels (3:41) -PLC control panels are available on Vulcan Catalytic Systems industrial infrared ovens. The components and their functions are reviewed in this informative presentation. These control panels are sophisticated yet user freindly. Menu driven PLC controllers can be programmed to store many variations of infrared heater zones output and time process settings for the various parts and heating cycles. Manual controllers can also be used where less flexibility is needed.

5. Infrared Oven Control (1:54) –Industrial Infrared Ovens by Vulcan Catalytic Systems have the flexibility to control energy output by zoning from top to bottom and from front to back of ovens. Menu driven PLC controllers can be programmed to store many variations of infrared heater zones output and time process settings for the various parts and heating cycles. Manual controllers can also be used where less flexibility is needed.

1. Powder Coating (6:50) - Vulcan Catalytic gas infrared heaters were installed in a powder coating oven to increase productivity and save of energy costs. This customer testimonial from a veteran powder coating praises this gas catalytic infrared heater technology as highly effective in almost doubling his line speed. Vulcan Catalytic's president and founder also discusses the technology.

2. Thermoforming (1:53) - Vulcan Catalytic gas infrared heaters were used to retrofit a thermoforming oven from electric infrared to save a great deal of money. This customer testimonial is from a manufacturer that increased productivity, had dramatic energy savings and reduced maintenance by changing to gas catalytic infrared heating. There is also greater safety and operator comfort. The polyethylene plastic absorbs the catalytic infrared energy very quickly and effectively in this vaccum thermoforming oven.

1. Infrared Enables Switch from Wet Paint to Powder (5:14) - Operations Manager explains how they needed to improve the quality of their products with a more durable coating. Only when Wesco Industrial looked to using a Gas Catalytic Infrared Oven were they able to justify switching since it was a much smaller investment in equipment and space than convection curing oven. Vulcan Catalytic Systems provided the solution to their needs..

4. Ideal Lean Powder Coating Line (3:31) – The ideal powder coating line is shown which includes infrared dry-off and curing ovens from Vulcan Catalytic along with a hybrid manual and chain driven conveyor system from Nikotrack.
