It works, sure, but the waste is just painful to watch. You’ve got heat leaking out of every single pipe joint and valve in the building. I’ve talked to plenty of plant managers who are basically fighting a losing battle with their electricity bills because their boilers have to scream 24/7 just to keep the presses at the right temperature. Switching to infrared (IR) heating changes the whole vibe of the process.</p>
