Infrared System Engineering Solutions & Services

An infrared technology system uses electromagnetic radiation in the infrared spectrum to transfer heat energy directly to a target material without heating the surrounding air. Fannon Products' infrared systems use short-wave, medium-wave, and fast medium-wave lamps to deliver up to 96% radiant efficiency for industrial applications including curing, drying, forming, and process heating across multiple industries.

Examples include automotive paint curing (primer, clear coat, powder coat), inkjet and screen printing ink drying, plastics welding and thermoforming, glass-ceramics processing, food baking and dehydrating, electronics reflow soldering, and textile web drying. Fannon Products provides custom infrared systems covering all of these applications with configurable wattages, wavelengths, and reflector options.

Fannon Products' infrared systems serve automotive, printing and inkjet, plastics, glass-ceramics, food processing, electronics, textiles, and agriculture industries. Their custom-engineered systems are designed to meet the specific heating and drying requirements of each sector, from high-speed commercial printing lines to automotive manufacturing facilities.

Short-wave infrared lamps offer instant on/off response and operate at very high temperatures (up to 4000°F filament), making them ideal for fast process cycles and precise control. Medium-wave infrared lamps heat up more gradually and are better suited for applications requiring deeper heat penetration or more uniform heating, such as glass-ceramics processing and certain plastics applications.

Yes. Fannon Products specializes in custom infrared system design and engineering. Their team works with clients to specify the correct lamp type, wattage, voltage, reflector configuration, and system layout for each unique application. Custom systems are manufactured at their Algonac, Michigan facility and shipped globally with 99% secure shipping.

Fannon's Goldenrod infrared lamps with patented 24K gold reflectors save 23.5% in energy expenses compared to standard lamps by directing virtually 100% of infrared energy at the target. Short-wave and fast medium-wave lamps provide instant thermal response, eliminating warm-up energy waste. These features combine to reduce electrical consumption while improving process cycle times and overall throughput.
