Inductive drying

In surface technology, inductive drying has become increasingly important as an advanced method for removing moisture from coated surfaces. This technique is based on the principle of electromagnetic induction, in which an electromagnetic field is created to generate heat in the coated materials.

During inductive drying in surface technology, the coated surface to be dried is placed in the electromagnetic field of an induction heater. The electrically conductive components of the coating react to the field and generate heat through the induced electrical currents. This heat causes the moisture in the coating to evaporate, resulting in fast and efficient drying.

An outstanding advantage of induction drying in surface technology lies in its targeted and precise application of heat. This not only enables fast drying, but also minimizes the risk of damage to sensitive surfaces or coatings. The method is used in various areas of surface finishing, such as paint drying, coating of metals and other materials, to ensure a high-quality surface finish.

The efficiency of induction drying helps to optimize production processes in surface technology by shortening drying times while enabling precise control. This makes the method a significant technology in surface treatment, especially in industries where fast, precise and efficient drying processes are required.
