  Infrared Heating

  Animal Care
  
  In animal breeding, infrared light provides warmth for young animals and encourages their healthy development. Shortwave infrared lamps meet all the relevant requirements necessary for successful breeding. The sun-like radiation creates the ideal conditions for raising poultry, pigs, calves, foals and puppies because it acts directly on the animals' bodies. The special feature: The warming rays do not have a detrimental effect on the climate in the stall. The rearing area can be supplied with a constant stream of fresh air without posing any risk to the health of the young animals.
  
  Lighting in terrariums, zoos and for rare species must meet the specific requirements of the animals. For years, zoo keepers and livestock owners have relied on artificial UV and infrared light. This can be used to provide the right conditions for the particular species and helps promote healthy bones and shells. UV lamps are also used by horse breeders for their beneficial properties. They are installed in addition to infrared lamps in animal solariums and, together with the correct heating, ensure that animals exhibit healthy development and growth.
  
  Medical applications - Wellness and IR therapy
  
  Like natural sunlight, the light from shortwave infrared lamps not only provides pleasant warmth and a feel good atmosphere, its intensive infrared radiation stimulates cells and organs in the human body. This makes these lamps ideal for beauty treatments at home or in clinics.
  
  Thanks to their deep-heat effect, shortwave infrared lamps dilate the vessels in our bodies, improving the blood flow through the entire organism. The bloodstream physiologically distributes the absorbed heat throughout the body. Metabolic waste is broken down faster and antigens in the body are mobilized more actively. The skin takes on a fresh and healthy color.
  
  Shortwave infrared lamps therefore not only play an effective role in beauty treatment, they also relax and refresh the body. Most of the infrared energy penetrates the skin and the epidermis without being absorbed so there is very little impact on the skin itself. Provided the lamp is placed at least 50 cm away, there is no risk of local overheating.
  
  Infrared light for keeping food hot
  
  Short-wave infrared lamps have been used successfully for many years to keep food warm in restaurants, hotels, canteens and other catering establishments. In high-class restaurants in particular, chefs do not want their dishes to cool down at all from the moment they are prepared to the moment they leave the kitchen. The solution is to use individual heat lamps or entire lines of heat lamps, which are also used in hot counters, catering outlets and fast food restaurants, to keep food fresh and hot.

  Indoor and outdoor heating

  Infrared heat lamps are used wherever rapid and targeted heat is needed – in the home, at work, indoors or outdoors. Only the object or person targeted is warmed, with no time-consuming preheating time. The reason is that infrared waves penetrate the air without heating it up directly. This is a major benefit – and just one of many compared with conventional gas-operated heaters. What’s more, infrared lamps are more energy-efficient and visually more attractive.
  
  Infrared lamps are perfect as irradiation sources in drying processes for water-based paints and varnishes. They offer not only rapid response times but also maximum efficiency.
  
  Water-based paints and varnishes contain water as the solvent and thinning medium. Intense infrared irradiation in the drying process causes the water to evaporate. The resin particles in the paint or varnish come into close contact with each other and form a hard film. This hard finish is used to coat wood, machinery and automobiles.

  Infrared radiation

  Infrared radiation for plastic molding – impressively efficient.
  Heating processes for molding plastics must offer maximum efficiency. For this reason infrared radiation has become more and more widespread in numerous industrial sectors. It is one of the most important heat sources for the production and processing of plastics. Indeed it would be hard to imagine some processes with any other heat source.
  
  Infrared radiation in the paper and printing industry – refining and reliable
  Infrared radiation is the number one choice for heating processes in the paper and printing industry. It is a very important factor in various processes and has been very successful above all in finishing processes.
  Heat from infrared radiation is one of the most reliable drying methods for paper finishing.
  
  Irradiation in drying processes for water-based paints and varnishes – rapid and efficient
  Infrared lamps are perfect as irradiation sources in drying processes for water-based paints and varnishes. They offer not only rapid response times but also maximum efficiency.
  
  Infrared radiation for reflow soldering – short response times, long life
  Reflow soldering calls for lamps that are not only durable but also offer good control through short response times. Short-wave infrared lamps are a reliable solution.
