It’s an energy hog. Most old-school convection ovens just blast hot air everywhere, heating the entire chamber just to dry a few wafers. It&rsquo;s a waste. We&rsquo;ve found a better way: targeted infrared (IR) heating.</p> <h2 id="how-the-physics-actually-plays-out">How the physics actually plays out</h2> <p>Instead of heating the air, we use short-wave IR lamps. The energy goes straight to the wafer surface. No middleman. No heating up the room. The radiation hits the moisture and it just&hellip; vanishes. It&rsquo;s nearly instant. Because you aren&rsquo;t waiting for a giant box of air to reach the right temperature, you save a ton of power. Your ramp-up is faster, and you aren&rsquo;t burning electricity <a href="https://o-yate.com">while</a> the machine sits idle.</p>
