You&rsquo;re basically heating up a giant box of air and hoping that heat eventually finds its way into the material. It&rsquo;s slow. It&rsquo;s clunky. And it takes up way too much room. We do things differently. We use shortwave infrared (SWIR) lamps. Instead of warming the air, these lamps shoot energy straight into the coating. It&rsquo;s a total shift in how the heat works—it doesn&rsquo;t just sit on the surface; it penetrates deep into the material from the get-go. The best part? You can take a 20-meter convection tunnel and shrink it down to a fraction of that size without losing any productivity. That&rsquo;s a lot of reclaimed floor space.</p>
