Infrared DieCast Pre-Heaters
Infrared DieCast Pre-Heaters
(OP)
For a high pressure, aluminum diecast, we use gas heaters to heat the dies before and in between shifts. This slow process requires that we run scrap parts at the beginning of each shift until the dies are completely heated up. I am thinking of replacing this pre-heating process with Infrared heaters. These would sit in between the dies during each shift break and keep the dies hot. They heat the dies much more uniformly, much more quickly, prolong the life of each die, use cleaner energy and are cost effective. Has anyone else done this or does anyone know of any reason not to make this change?

I think there are others and a little googling might dig them up. You didn't mention the target temperture as it would make a difference in the suggestion. Good luck.
