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

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.

• 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

• 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

• 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

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.

• 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

• 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

A: Yes, the belt height is customizable and we provide sample jigs for curved bowls.

A: For UV curing we can add a UV LED module - fully customizable hybrid IR+UV system.

A: 50 × 50 mm; no upper limit except belt width.
