DARC® – DArk Radiation Convection
The DARC® technology is a method developed by us that uses a heating up process in powder enamelling furnaces and paint dryers based on a mix of convection (circulating air) and long wave infrared radiation, the so-called “dark radiation”.
Thanks to the functional principle, the application of a DARC® furnace provides many benefits compared to a conventional circulating air furnace.

Advantages of the DARC® technology at a glance:
- economic drying and enamelling of paints on large, heavy and three dimensional workpieces
- up to five times higher energy transmission onto the workpieces
- reduction of workpiece heating-up times by up to 70 %
- space-savings thanks to reduced holding space inside the oven
- quicker heating-up and enamelling times than in conventional circulating air furnaces
- combination of very thick and very thin material thicknesses is possible
- simultaneous enamelling of different poweder coat colours without mixing
Areas of application of the DARC® technology:
- chamber furnace
- continuous furnace
- booster
- dryer for liquid coatings
- dryer for cataphoretic paints
- adhesive water dryer
- tempering furnace
