IRCON DRYING SYSTEMS AB

Need fast, precise and energy efficient heating and drying? If you do, IR heating or microwave heating may be the solution you are looking for. Both methods are contactless, and can be controlled exceptionally quickly and very precisely. Since the early 1990s, Ircon Drying Systems AB has helped customers throughout the world to solve advanced heating problems. We focus on two principal areas: – The paper and paper processing industries Ircon provides solutions for the contactless additional drying of paper and coated paper, as well as for the correction of paper moisture content. Our drying systems are based on IR technology, delivering up to 800 kW/m2 for extremely fast and compact drying. Drying power is controlled steplessly and with split-second timing in a large number of zones. – In the foodstuffs industry IR heating can be used to shorten baking times, pasteurise bread crusts or to replace frying processes. One of our biggest customer uses our technology to produce a “healthier” doughnut. Microwave heating on an industrial scale is also used for pasteurisation, e.g. in the production of ready meals that can be stored in a refrigerated environment for an extended period of time. Microwaves can also be used to significantly shorten baking times, consuming much less energy than conventional technology. In addition to these principal areas, our bespoke solutions are also used for applications such as microwave drying of casting cores, the drying of minerals and the drying of paints and varnishes.
