Infrared Clamshell Oven

Home Heating Solutions Oven Process Infrared Clamshell Oven

For consistency and accuracy in low or high temperature heat, a Ceramicx-designed and built custom infrared clamshell oven or heating system can provide the effective energy and heat transfer needed for drying and curing applications, such as heat-shrink for tubing. Every infrared clamshell oven or multi-zone heating system is designed around your processes and production requirements.

The mechanical construction of a clamshell means the entire surface area of a product can be equally heated. Looking at precision temperature demands of up to 1560°C to suit your materials, and any power requirements or constraints – even taking its physical size into consideration if your space is limited. With the latest infrared heatwork technology, every clamshell oven is a bespoke heating solution prepared for consistent product quality.

Ceramicx has the knowledge and expertise to design and build state of the art infrared clamshell ovens for 360° precision heat for a diverse range of sectors and applications. From the smaller end of the heatwork spectrum, right up to large industrial scale, giving you greater access for maintenance and control of the system.

Custom-built to order, infrared clamshell ovens and heating systems are configured to ensure, and maximise, 360° uniform heating of your material. Bespoke components, including the stainless steel framework and integrated polished aluminium reflectors, are designed to meet your requirements with precision temperature control and safety features built in.

Together with fully integrated programmable controllers for precision temperature control, bespoke arrays of energy-efficient Ceramicx CE approved, industry standard infrared ceramic, quartz, or quartz tungsten/quartz halogen tube heater elements can be horizontally or vertically mounted for greater heatwork potential.

Whatever your process or application, a bespoke infrared clamshell system will add value to your production output as well as improved reliability and processing time with low maintenance and running costs.

Industrial Infrared Clamshell Ovens

42kW Curing Oven

Ceramicx designed and built a 42 kW long-wave tunnel oven for a USA based electronics customer which was supplied in two sections. The infrared oven system was curved to ensure optimal and uniform heating of the customers material.

Clamshell Pipe Infrared Heating System

Ceramicx designed and built this clamshell shape heating system for a customer of one of our Danish distributers. The purpose of the shape was to heat the outside of Polypropylene pipes up to diameter of 400mm.

Contract Manufacturing: Heatshrink Application

With two infrared heat solutions needed, both had strict specifications in terms of power, temperature, dimensions, and reliability, and both were developed using our infrared quartz heating elements. The clamshell shape was a natural consideration and Ceramicx worked on this using quartz infrared elements components.
