Heat protection range for temperature profiling in paint operations

A range of thermal barriers protects the data logger with its non-volatile memory in infrared and convection ovens. The lightweight aluminum standard barrier shields the electronics for up to 2h at 200°C. Thermal protection is ensured by high-performance microporous insulation and a heat sink.

The DATAPAQ EasyTrack3 Professional System extends protection to 3h, allowing users to monitor up to three cure processes consecutively. A thermal barrier for high-temperature PTFE and Dacromet coating withstands 400°C for up to 90min.

The manufacturer has also designed a low-height barrier for profiling typical mesh belt cure lines where oven clearance is restricted. At just 31mm high, the barrier provides protection for 13min at 200°C or for 30min at 100°C. The logger operating temperature is 85°C. It automatically switches off, should it ever heat above that point – for instance due to unscheduled line stops. This prevents faulty data collection. The profiler provides a measurement accuracy of ±1.6°C (logger and thermocouple accuracy combined) over its entire operating temperature range.
