Lab-Scale Infrared Drying System for Molded Pulp Coating – Compact Experimental Oven

Lab-Scale Infrared Drying System for Molded Pulp Coating – Compact Experimental Oven

Composition of Production Line

• Infrared heating module (medium-wave / short-wave swappable)

• Adjust-height conveyor belt (stainless steel or PTFE mesh)

• Temperature & air velocity controller

• Sample tray with positioning guide

• Fume exhaust hood (optional)

• Touchscreen HMI with data logging

Product Description
This bench-top or floor-standing experimental infrared dryer is specifically designed for R&D of coatings on molded pulp products (e.g., disposable tableware, food containers, industrial packaging). It simulates industrial drying conditions while allowing precise adjustment of IR intensity, belt speed, and drying zone length – ideal for optimizing coating formulations (water-based, UV-curable, or gloss/matte topcoats) before scaling up to production lines.

Technical Parameters (Table)

Application

• Drying water-based primers & topcoats on molded pulp plates/bowls

• Curing UV-excimer skin-feel coatings (small batch testing)

• Heat-setting of anti-moisture & anti-static coatings

• Academic research on pulp coating drying kinetics

• Quality lab for disposable packaging manufacturers

Customization
Fully customizable configuration: choose IR lamp wavelength (short, medium, or carbon), add an extra heating zone, change belt material (PTFE, metal mesh, or solid), or integrate a cooling section. We also offer customizable software for programmable drying profiles (ramp-soak cycles). The system can be built as a glovebox-compatible unit for solvent-sensitive coatings.

Feature

• Instant on/off response – no preheating delay

• Uniform radiation field ±5% across belt width

• Low thermal inertia – safe for heat-sensitive pulp substrates

• Real-time temperature feedback & over-temperature protection

• Compact size fits on a lab bench or mobile cart

Support and Services

• Remote installation video & commissioning guide

• Free coating drying consultation (your formulation)

• 12-month warranty, extendable customizable plan

• Spare IR lamp kit included

• 24/7 email & chat support

Packing and Shipping

• Foam-lined plywood case with antistatic bag

• Shipped by air or sea (FOB preferred)

• Lead time: 15–25 working days

• Shipping documents: CE declaration, manual, calibration certificate

FAQ
Q: Can this dryer handle both flat and 3D molded pulp products?
A: Yes, the belt height is customizable and we provide sample jigs for curved bowls.
Q: Does it work for UV coatings?
A: For UV curing we can add a UV LED module – fully customizable hybrid IR+UV system.
Q: What is the minimum test sample size?
A: 50 × 50 mm; no upper limit except belt width.
