The KRELUS PROFILE HEATER are the series of customized IR heaters, which are mainly used to heat up large areas. The heaters can be very individually adapted to the customer's requirements in terms of size and power density. Working widths of 4 to 5 meters (13.1 to 16.4 feet) are not uncommon in the production of floor coverings, roofing membranes or geomembranes. These are covered perfectly by the profile heaters. Coating, laminating and embossing are the most common applications for these IR-heaters.

KRELUS PROFILE HEATER can not only be scaled in terms of size and power, but can also be adapted precisely to the electrical voltage available at the place of use. In fields composed of several profile heaters, individual heaters can be switched off or on as required. These customized KRELUS heaters are available as single radiators up to 7 meters (22.9 feet) in total length. The optimal medium-wave infrared radiation and fast response times of the heaters are common features of all KRELUS heaters.

Krelus infrared heaters are well-suited for drying applications since water absorbs ir radiation in the medium-wave infrared range excellently. The krelus mini heaters can be perfectly combined to make heater fields in various sizes. Due to the grid dimension, both models can be used in the same field and can be individually controlled in separate heating zones as the needed. They can also be used individually. The variety of options aid flexibility. The mini heaters are available in six power ratings between 1. 3 and 3. 6 kw per module. Thanks to their outstanding features, such as fast response time, high efficiency and robust design (to name a few), they are perfect for plastics processing applications in the automotive industry, the packaging industry, as well as in paper and printing machines. One thing all krelus radiators have in common is that they have no moving parts, making them virtually immune to wear and thus requiring no maintenance. Nevertheless, should a defect occur in a heater field, individual heaters can be quickly and easily replaced thanks to the modular design.

KRELUS Pin Heater

• Contactless heating, cooled die
• Quick response
• Heating and re-forming in the same position
• Light weight facilitates easy handling

DETAILS - Infrared tool for rivetingThe KRELUS Pin heater is specially designed for riveting plastic. It allows one tool to heat and re-form at the same position. Meanwhile, the KRELUS Pin heater does not need to be repositioned between steps because the riveting die is mounted concentrically to the radially-constructed emitter. Another advantage of the KRELUS Pin heater is contactless heating of the rivet pin with medium-wave infrared heating. This allows uniform, gentle and highly controlled plasticization.
Using a cold punch reliably prevents the adhesion of melted material. Besides the assembly lines in the automotive and electronics industries, the KRELUS Pin heater can also be used in many other sectors of plastic processing. Almost all thermoplastics can be plasticized and re-formed.
