Laser heating and drying is an innovative application of laser, which projects a laser beam onto a large area to heat and dry the target material. The power density of the beam is usually lower than the relatively concentrated beam used for other material processing applications such as cutting and welding. The size of the projected light is easy to control and can be heated in a targeted manner, almost solving the waste heat generated by traditional heating methods.

Laser heating is an efficient and sustainable heat treatment method suitable for various applications such as battery foils, powder coatings, and paint drying. The laser heating and drying solution is faster than traditional convection furnaces and more energy-efficient than infrared lamps, making it a unique combination of high output and low operating costs.

IPG continues to pioneer technological breakthroughs that lead and define the laser industry. We are driven by an unwavering dedication to innovation and are always striving to empower global manufaturers and institutions with laser technologies that improve the world around us and make more possible.

The Shanghai Runqia laser heating system is maintenance free and has an expected service life of over 5-10 years. The service life of infrared light bulbs is only 1 to 2 years, requiring regular maintenance and expensive replacement costs.
