1.

Intended use of the product

This product serves exclusively to accelerate the drying/
curing of putty, filler, base and clear coats. This applies
to both water-borne and solvent-based products. It´s site
of use is the preparation area and finishing area. Within
the automotive industry and vehicle repair sectors, it is
used to cure small areas before polishing. The product
must not be used for other purposes than the described
drying processes. The maximum ambient temperature
during operation should not exceed 40°C. The IRT 3-1
PcD and IRT 3-2 PcD dryers must not be used in spray
booths or within a distance of 5m from spraying activities
in order to avoid explosion risk. This prohibition is also
valid for the IRT 3-20 PcD, if not combined with the IRT
Dust Cover and Surveillance System (document 714147).
Observe the regulations described in chapter 5.1 in the
installation manual (Document 713683), so that spraying
is impossible during the drying operation.

Product description

The dryer is an essential aid for paint repair on small and
medium sized areas.
The easily manoeuvrable IRT 3-1 PcD, 3-2 PcD or 3-20
PcD is equipped with one or two compact cassettes.
Each cassette is equipped with three Infra Red (IR) lamps
with gold plated freeform reflectors and a ventilator. The
design, combined with a gas spring, makes positioning
of the cassette simple. The IR lamps are easily exchange-
able and the reflectors are protected against mechanical
damage by a mesh. The dryer has a selection of sophisti-
cated programs.

Particular advantages

2.1.1 Higher quality
Using the dryer when you cure putty also improves the
quality of the top coat.
The shortwave IR curing enables the coating to be cured
from the inside outwards. This prevents solvents to be
trapped inside the coating and ensures a fast and high
quality curing.

2.1.3 Hi-tech shape of reflectors with short wave IR
By using short-wave technology and gold-coated reflec-
tors with a high tech shape important advantages are
achieved. Firstly, by radiating only the needed areas
and not heating any air, a lower energy consumption is
achieved. Secondly, a more uniform surface temperature
is obtained by distributing the energy evenly. Thirdly, a
larger drying surface is achieved. Fourthly, less radiation
outside the curing area.
