Efficient Air and Radiant Heating for Industrial Drying

Industrial drying — whether drying plastic granules, curing coatings, drying paper or textiles, or removing moisture from food products — requires reliable, energy-efficient heating systems. Sri Ambika supplies complete air heating solutions including duct heaters, finned tubular elements, and ceramic infrared heaters for industrial drying ovens, tunnels, and chambers.

Problems Solved

Heating Problems
We Solve

01

Non-uniform drying causing product quality variation

02

High energy consumption from over-specification of heating capacity

03

Short element life from moisture and chemical condensate in drying airstream

04

Slow heat-up increasing batch processing times

05

Difficulty replacing individual failed elements in large duct heater banks

Engineering

Key Engineering
Considerations

Duct heater sizing based on air flow rate, inlet temperature, and target outlet temperature

Finned tubular vs open coil element selection based on airstream temperature and contamination

Infrared heater selection for direct surface drying without heating the surrounding air

Control strategy: on/off, SCR stepless, or SSR proportional control

Safety thermostat and high-limit cutout specification for oven installations
