The APOLLO has been under continuous development for over 20 years, it was the first style of dryer that Compact made and the lamps available at the time dictated the dryer design. The Apollo Mk IV, currently in production, uses lamps of similar length, but engineered for a much improved performance, producing outstanding results for users.
The Apollo technology offers an unrivalled opportunity to take control of quality, increase production and save energy:
A flexible cost effective solution for:
- Preheating
- Moisture profile control
- Temperature profile control
- Drying coatings
- Drying Print
- Heating plastics
- Powder coatings
| The APOLLO Mk IV | The Apollo Mk IV is widely used on laminating machines, print dryers and slower paper and board machines where the drying duty is relatively light. It is also used for precision heating applications on a range of plastics and for curing powder coatings. |
| Emitter | Modular, 150 mm wide, maximum capacity up to 24 kW |
| Reflectors | High Efficiency, Angled to Prevent Scatter and Improve Energy Transfer. |
| Lamp Protection | The front of the Apollo IV is protected by a series of hydroxyl-free quartz tubes for ultimate strength, mounted to form a continuous barrier using the minimum amount of material that helps keep running temperatures low. |
| Lamp Type | CE/200/25/B producing less unproductive white light and more useful infrared than a standard lamp of the same output. |
| Power Output | 160 kW/metre (48 kW/ft) per Dryer |
| Control zone width | Range between 18 mm and 300 mm or ¾” to 12 “ |
| Installation | Can be installed during routine maintenance shuts |
| Safety | Quartz tubes cool to touch in less than 2 seconds (video) |
| A clever innovation that we call Glass Safe makes the Apollo Mk IV suitable for a range of food based applications. |
