Application of halogen heating lamp in the food industryIR Lamp Infrared Heat Lamp has multiple advantages in food processing. First, it is very energy-saving and environmentally friendly, has good thermal effects, and can directly supply energy to the processing object, and is not easily absorbed by the atmosphere. Secondly, it can be processed and produced without direct contact with the material during use, so it is highly hygienic and food quality and safety are easier to control. At the same time, the characteristic of not directly contacting the material is also suitable for the production of different types of food, and the technical applicability is higher.
  1. jacketed lamps are widely used in the food industry
  2. Infrared dehydration and drying
The drying process is one of the key processes in my country’s food industry, and the advantages of Quartz Heater Bulb equipment such as high thermal radiation efficiency and strong penetration are gradually highlighted in the industry. In addition, the equipment currently on the market is not only limited to a single far-infrared drying technology, but also combines it with microwave technology, vacuum technology, etc. to further improve the drying efficiency. Mainly used for drying grains, noodles, and Chinese herbal medicines Advantages: fast heating speed, uniform absorption, high heating efficiency, small chemical decomposition, raw materials are not easy to denature, and suitable for drying heat-sensitive substances.
  1. Infrared baking
Quartz Infrared Heating Elements act directly on food, and the temperature rises faster during the heating process, reducing the waiting time for delicious food, and the temperature control is accurate.
  1. Infrared sterilization
IR Halogen Heating Bulb sterilization does not require heat medium, but directly irradiates the items to be sterilized, and the heat transfer directly penetrates from the surface to the inside. In the food industry, the heating process needs to avoid the invasion of bacteria and viruses. The stable working characteristics of tungsten halogen heat lamps avoid the generation of dust and powder during the heating process. Therefore, infrared rays can not only be used for heating general powdered and block foods, but also for sterilization and mildew removal of nut foods, peanuts and grains.
  1. The difference between tungsten infrared heat lamp and microwave heating
  2. Different heating methods
Microwave heating: The internal grilling tube is a magnetron, which is a microwave generator that can generate microwaves with a vibration frequency of 2.45 billion times per second. This microwave, which is invisible to the naked eye, can penetrate food up to 5 cm deep and cause the water molecules in the food to move. The violent movement generates a lot of heat energy, and microwaves heat food from the inside out. The grilling tube of the microwave oven generally uses copper tube or quartz tube. Copper tube is difficult to cool after heating, which can easily cause burns, while the thermal efficiency of quartz tube is not very high.Far infrared light wave heating: It is heated by the principle of far infrared heating. After the power is turned on, the infrared component in the oven can generate a high temperature of 600-700℃ in a few seconds (the highest temperature of the induction cooker is 300℃). Then, through the imported energy-gathering reflective material, the light energy is gathered together and reflected on the oven panel, so as to achieve the purpose of cooking food, and the far infrared light wave heats the food from the outside to the inside.
  1. Different effects on the human body
Microwave heating: It is microwave radiation, which is harmful to the human body.Far infrared light wave heating: The principle is Quartz Infrared Heating Lamp heating. Far infrared light waves are beneficial to the human body, healthy and environmentally friendly.
  1. Different requirements for utensils
Microwave heating: Metal or metal containers cannot be used. Because metal has a reflective effect on microwaves, not only does it make food difficult to heat, but the reflected microwaves will also damage the components of the microwave oven and affect its service life.Far-infrared light wave heating: A variety of high-temperature resistant containers can be used in the light wave oven, and metal containers can also be used.
  1. The taste of processed food is different
Microwave heating: Microwaves are used to stimulate the high-speed movement of molecules in food, and the food is heated by the energy generated by molecular movement. The disadvantage is that the water is easily lost during the cooking process of food, and it cannot make the food have the roasted color and aroma like traditional cooking.Far-infrared light wave heating: Using ir quartz heating tube to heat food is a combined heating method of electric energy-Infrared Halogen Heating Elements-food. The conversion speed of electric energy-heat energy is fast and the temperature is high, which makes the surface of the food quickly produce a roasting effect and transmits the heat into the food; at the same time, Infrared Quartz Heat Lamps heat the inside of the food. It can lock the moisture of the food, making the food crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, with good color and fragrance.
