Applications:

• platform which enables to make simulations of industrial thermal treatment processes in laboratory (drying, polymerisation, melting, baking,...)
• the simulation is performed at a pilot stage allowing the treatment of 0.5 m large samples

Equipment:

• products preparation equipment
  coating systems, painting..
• transport equipment
  carpet conveyor up to 30 m/min
  fabrics transportation up to 150 m/min
  overhead conveyor up to 5m/min
• heat transfer equipment
  hot air up to 300°C
  infrared for a total available power of 450 kW
  high-frequency dielectric heating
  microwave dielectric heating
  UV radiation exposure

Results:

• selection of treatment techniques
• definition of thermal cycles (power, temperature, time,...)
• definition of regulations
