Spotlight Ovens, Incubators & Sterilising Equipment Infrared Heaters Bust the Infrared Myth
International heating systems specialist and manufacturer Ceramicx is committing new resources to the education and promotion of infrared heating technology throughout its user markets and in industry generally.
Frank Wilson, Ceramicx Founder and Managing Director, said: “In the course of nearly all our customer work, at some point in the process, we have to shoulder the task of explaining some infrared fundamentals. We mainly do this in order to illustrate the advantages of this kind of heat work. Very often, the technical discussion is triggered because of the fundamental difference in the engineer’s mind between the concept of temperature and that of radiation.”
Ceramicx has accordingly dedicated part of its company website to
infrared education – in the first instance to dispelling common myths about it. The company envisages building up both infrared case studies and technical data on the subject in order to try and raise the understanding of the technology generally.
Ceramicx’s infrared heaters are primarily used in industry: A good percentage of Ceramicx output is channelled into heating systems for the plastics thermoforming industries worldwide, where Ceramicx customers make a wide variety of mouldings – from food containers to car door panels.
“Every one of our customers could use a little more education about infrared – and how to get the most out of the process,” said Wilson. “At Ceramicx we are, of course, happy to include this work as part of our service. We do feel that industry in general – including OEM and High Street names of the highest quality – is sorely lacking in its infrared manufacturing knowledge. It’s now time, therefore, to issue a profitable infrared ‘wake up call.”

Cooled Incubators Series 3
Incubators Provide Optimum Choice and Flexibility
A range of compact, space-saving benchtop incubators, which provide excellent choice and flexibility to the laboratory scientist are now available from laboratory supply specialists Cleaver Scientific. These incubators, or hybridisation units, provide a chamber temperature from ambient to 85ºC and are ideal for many laboratory tasks, such as cell and tissue culture applications.
The range encompasses 21 models which all feature microprocessor control of temperature in precise 0.1ºC increments as well as continuous and programmable timer function, which is easily viewed within a 2.6” LCD screen. Advanced ventilation design technology maintains accuracy to within ±0.2ºC.
The standard incubator model is supplied with stainless steel mesh shelves, while the more sophisticated options are available with specialist vortex, orbital, rocking or reciprocal shaking platforms. All of the incubators (except the basic model) can be supplied with hybridisation rotisseries for enhanced function. They are compact and stackable, requiring only a small footprint ensuring maximum space saving and multi-tasking for the busy, modern laboratory.
