Systems for heating an extrudate including a shield transmissive to radiant heat, wherein the shield is configured to minimize interaction between a radiative heat assembly and the air bearing, are provided. Methods for heating an extrudate, including minimizing, via the shield, an interaction between the radiative heat assembly and the air bearing, are further provided. Methods for manufacturing an extruded body from an extrudate are further provided. L'invention concerne des systèmes de chauffage d'un extrudat comprenant un blindage transmissif à la chaleur rayonnante, le blindage étant conçu pour réduire à un minimum l'interaction entre un ensemble de chaleur rayonnante et le palier à air. L'invention concerne en outre des procédés de chauffage d'un extrudat, comprenant la réduction à un minimum, par l'intermédiaire du blindage, d'une interaction entre l'ensemble de chaleur rayonnante et le palier à air. L'invention concerne en outre des procédés de fabrication d'un corps extrudé à partir d'un extrudat.
