BGK Gas Catalytic
Low cost curing solution
BGK offers a proven line of curing technologies and now expands its product offering with the introduction of the Gas Catalytic Infrared Ovens. Providing faster process times than convection style ovens, resulting in less equipment and floor space. Gas catalytic IR ovens can improve quality and consistency of finish for powder or liquid applications, drying, curing or heating, providing emitter surface temperatures in the range of 700°F to 1,000°F.
Catalytic IR Ovens offer both natural gas or propane fired catalytic infrared heaters, which emit infrared heat through a safe, technology which produces a uniform low intensity heat. This heat, in the form of medium to long wavelength energy, is evenly absorbed by a wide range of organic materials, providing a versatile curing solution for low to high density applications. The reduced operating costs, offered by catalytic heaters, has become the preferred system for retrofits of large electrical infrared applications, offering substantial energy cost reduction with rapid payback.
The large emissive surface area allows processing of extremely geometrically complex objects.
Catalytic Gas Infrared Panels
The key to a great gas catalytic oven is the emitter. Our emitters are environmentally friendly, unlike normal combustion ovens, producing only trace amounts of nitrogen oxides due to their low operating temperatures.
Lower operating costs
up to 50% less expensive to run than a convection oven.
Highly controllable
to meet demanding finishing requirements.
Small footprint
ideal for lean manufacturing.
Features
Smart
Infrared heats what needs to be heated, not the surrounding air, taking less time and energy to cure a part.
Versatile
It can handle a large variety of finishing applications, from oddly shaped to demanding substrates and complex coatings.
Cost effective
Infrared provides higher production rates and lower operating costs, while providing high quality parts.
Custom design
each unit is custom designed for your application and specifications.
Controllable
custom engineered control packages offer the ability to precisely control every facet of your production.
