Sunkiss matherm was the inventor of the thermal reactor and the first manufacturer who designed an innovating technology for ir radiation, adapting excellently to the requirements of drying, fusing and polymerizing of paints and varnishes. Sunkiss matherm, inventor of the thermoreactor®, was the first manufacturer to create and perfect infrared radiation technology that is particularly suitable for drying, fusion and polymerization. Today sunkiss matherm designs and builds installations for many industrial manufacturers who are looking for savings in time and space, better product finish, energy savings and more flexible operation.
Commercial advantages:
Atex ec certification:
Ce type examination certification by validation of equipment and protective systems intended for use in potentially explosive atmospheres directive 94/9/ec.
Time saving:
Drying time is always one third to one eighth of the normal time because of the rapid rise in temperature and acceleration of evaporation, fusion and polymerization processes.
Space saving:
This saving always results in a more compact and shorter tunnel, which favours installation where space is limited.
Quality:
Improved finished appearance and paint film hardness occur because of core drying, solvent or water evaporation from inside to outside, and also because of the very quick fusion of powder paint.
Freedom from dust:
Dust contamination is avoided by rapid drying.
Solvent vapor removal:
The solvents (vocs) in contact with the thermoreactor® during the drying phase are destroyed by flameless oxidation.
Energy savings:
The reduction in energy consumption, which can be more than 50 per cent, can be explained by the direct transfer of energy from the thermoreactor® to the organic coatings.
Productivity:
Faster throughput resulting in minimal numbers of paint sprayed items queing for thermoreactor® treatment.
Rapidity:
The start-up for a tunnel with a thermoreactor® system is only ten minutes.
