The following environmental conditions must be met for fan cooling:
- Room temperature < 30 °C
- Dust-free air


A significant increase in productivity, quality, and energy efficiency can be achieved when compared to non-enclosed infrared radiator elements, either by focusing the infrared radiators in the counter-reflector or through homogeneous tube radiation of the fibrous or wire-like material.
The modular design with a liftable upper section of the radiator unit, or even several units in succession, ensures that the product to be heated can be easily drawn in.
For drying purposes, the radiation source can be separated from the counter-reflector by means of a quartz glass pane so as to create a drying zone in the counter-reflector. Hot or cold air can flow through this zone so that produced vapors can be directly extracted and to optimally enhance the drying process.

MES tubeIR Hybrid-Infrared Radiation Unit for efficient heating up of thread-like material
MES thermsol® tubeIR Hybrid-Radiation Modules are excellently suitable as tube radiators to heat up and dry thread-like or wire-like materials in a continuous throughput.
In contrast to standard infrared radiators, the infrared radiation will be focussed in the counter reflector and will generate a concentrated input of thermal energy.
Due to the concentrated energy input and the additional convective drying line, this type of radiators is highly efficient.
The convective drying line allows a direct exhaust of the vapours generated.
