Meet the 355mm 440V 2000W Halogen Infrared Heating Element

Let’s talk about a heating element that’s built for the real world—where time is tight, space is tighter, and you need heat that shows up and shuts off on command. This is a shortwave infrared halogen element, designed for industrial work. Think of it as a compact powerhouse for jobs like heating plastic, drying parts, and thermal forming. When you need heat fast, and you need it to land exactly where you want it, this is the kind of tool that makes the day feel smoother.

Power, voltage, and size—why it matters

It runs at 2000W and 440V. That combination is intentional. Because it uses a higher voltage, the current is lower than you’d get with a 230V equivalent. In practice, that means less voltage drop along the line and you can use smaller wiring. Less fuss, less heat buildup in the cables, and a cleaner install. At 355mm long, it packs a lot of wattage into a small tube. You get serious heat intensity without taking up a lot of room. And the response? Fast. It heats up quickly, and it cools down quickly. That’s exactly what you want if your process runs in cycles.

What’s inside, and how it stays steady

Inside the quartz tube, the halogen cycle helps protect the filament, which supports stable output over the life of the element. The shortwave infrared profile is tuned to be absorbed rapidly by many plastics and coatings. So you’re not just heating the air—you’re getting energy where it counts. And the ends? They’re R7s bi-pin, a standard fit for common industrial sockets. Swapping a worn element is straightforward—no redesigning the fixture. One thing to keep in mind: quartz is tough, but it’s also brittle. Treat it carefully. And if you’re handling it, avoid getting skin oils on the tube—those can create hot spots.

Where it shines—and what to watch for

This element is a solid workhorse for PET preform heating, sheet heating, laminating, and curing. The high power density helps shorten cycle times, and the focused infrared keeps heat from wandering into the surrounding area. But with that 2000W density, you do need to plan for cooling and shielding. Make sure your machine has proper airflow and guarding, so the space around the element doesn’t get uncomfortably hot. At the end of the day, what you’re getting is a repeatable heat source that’s easy to wire in, reliable under real conditions, and simple to replace when it’s time.
