Drying has many faces -
UV, IR, warm air, etc.

Different materials require different drying processes. We are happy to answer any questions about thermal drying, as Deutsche Mechatronics has designed and produced customised drying systems since 1995, for example for the printing industry using ultraviolet light (UV), infrared radiation (IR) and warm air (WA).

We concentrate on thermal drying and curing from controlled energy application and directed movement of moisture.

Since 1995, we have developed more than 3,000 dryer systems for industrial use.

We analyse processes with you, and then

• develop suitable drying systems, e.g. for coatings, bulk goods or foodstuffs
• ensure the appropriate drying of materials and
• cut down on the amount of residual solvent.

Drying procedures

• Physical drying using heat. The drying effect is based on vaporising slightly volatile constituents. The energy required for this is provided in the form of IR rays and/or hot air.
• Chemical drying with UV (UV curing). The drying effect is based on polymerisation, i.e. the cross-linking into long molecular chains. The energy required for this is provided in the form of UV radiation.

Here are some examples of physical and chemical drying:

• thermoforming
• activation of chemical reactions, e.g. bonding  
• material curing 
• preheating for processing 
• heat radiation in medical therapy  
• ovens/sterilising machines in the food industry  
• heating of masses in preparation 
• melting down coatings
• stoving fluidised bed and sintered coatings
• making soldered joints  
• tempering materials
• tempering glass and ceramics
• selective separation of substances

We'll see you home and dry! Why not contact us.
