Process Heat & Control Systems — Services & Solutions

Process heat is used to change, cure, dry, soften, preheat, bond, bake, or finish materials during manufacturing. In Fannon Products applications, infrared process heat supports powder-coat curing, ink drying, automotive paint curing, food moisture removal, textile drying, electronics reflow, and general surface heating. The goal is controlled energy delivery that improves throughput, product quality, and repeatability.

Process control in the food industry means managing variables such as temperature, moisture, exposure time, conveyor speed, and heating zones to produce consistent, safe, repeatable results. Infrared food drying systems can support baking, browning, dehydrating, surface drying, and pasteurizing by applying controlled heat to the product while integrating with existing conveyorized processing equipment.

Pricing is quoted per specification because each system is engineered around the application, production line, substrate, temperature target, control requirements, and physical layout. Fannon Products provides made-to-order systems, retrofit modules, replacement lamps, and engineered assemblies. To start a quote, provide drawings, line details, wattage needs, voltage, throughput goals, and any required fixture or control preferences.

Yes. Fannon Products designs systems for both new equipment and existing conveyor or batch lines. Infrared emitters, fixtures, reflectors, control zones, and temperature controls can be configured around current line speed, available space, product geometry, and power requirements. Retrofit modules are often used to improve drying, curing, or preheating without replacing an entire production system.

Infrared heating transfers energy directly to the part, coating, ink, or substrate rather than heating a large volume of surrounding air first. This can produce faster warm-up, tighter zone control, smaller equipment footprints, and lower energy use than many convection or gas approaches. It is especially useful for curing, drying, surface heating, and applications requiring rapid, repeatable thermal response.

Fannon Products serves a wide range of manufacturers, including automotive, printing, food processing, electronics, textiles, plastics, glass-ceramics, farm, comfort heating, and custom systems users. Applications include powder coating, screen printing, inkjet drying, UV LED curing, PCB reflow, paint curing, textile finishing, moisture removal, surface drying, and replacement infrared lamp supply for industrial equipment.

Replacement needs depend on lamp type, wattage, operating environment, duty cycle, and how the system is maintained. Fannon Products manufactures short-wave quartz, medium-wave quartz, twin-tube quartz, and direct-fit OEM replacement lamps in many sizes, voltages, and wattages. Keeping spare lamps available helps reduce downtime when a production-critical dryer, curing oven, or heating fixture needs service.

Fannon Products manufactures in Algonac, Michigan and offers secure global shipping capabilities. Availability varies by product: some replacement lamps can be quoted by specification and quantity, while engineered systems are made-to-order for the application. The company supports customers through factory-direct communication by phone or email to clarify specifications, configuration options, and shipment requirements.
