1 PagesWatlow Radiant Panels Feature Even Temperature Gradients To Make Shrink Labeling Possible Problem: An OEM needed to shrink styrofoam wrapping around plastic bottles. This required a very even heat to shrink the styrofoam evenly so that a smooth, uniform surface was obtained. Solution: The Watlow radiant panel is an even, full-area heat source. The OEM manufacturer measured the temperature gradient across the face of a Watlow radiant panel, as well as the gradient of a number of competitor's full-area heat sources. Their findings were that Watlow radiant panels are consistent in temperature across the heater's surface.The competitor's heater that was closest in performance had a full ±9.7 percent variance over its surface, and the other competitive panels were worse.The temperature variance
