In the leather finishing, alternative technologies such as infrared radiation can provide fast and efficient heat tranfer for drying wáter-based films compared to conventional convection processes. In this investigation, an infrared dryer was designed and parameters such as heather distance to substrate, number and spacing of heaters, and leather transport speed were evaluated by using response surface methodology, from an experimental array, it was found that heater spacing is not statistically significant. However, other variables can be manipulated to improve overall dryer performance. A statistical model predicting the film drying in the infrared dryer was derived which can be used to choose suitable operating conditions for a particular finishing formulation. Furthermore, if the aquipment is properly tuned, IR radiation can reduce both dryer length and residence time of substrate during the drying process.
