Medium Wave Infrared: The Secret to Precision Laminating

We built this medium wave halogen quartz infrared lamp for one reason: to make fabric laminating feel effortless. The whole idea is simple—get the surface hot, fast, and under control—without turning the fabric underneath into a toasty mess. It zeroes in on the polymer layers and adhesives, cranking up the heat just where you need it, so the bond line sets evenly. The payoff? You keep the line moving at a steady clip, and the fabric stays cool enough to keep its hand feel.

Power, Voltage, and the Practical Specs

This lamp runs on medium wave principles, which means you get a lot of heat packed into a small footprint. It’s designed for industrial voltages, and you can size the power to match your laminating zone—think 2000W to 3000W, depending on line speed and how long the hot zone needs to be. The quartz tube is cut to fit standard machine slots, with about 300mm of active heating length, so it drops right into what you already have. Running at higher voltage lowers the current, which means smaller conductors and easier wiring in tight frames. Here’s the trade-off, plain and simple: it throws serious heat, so you need to keep the surroundings cool and manage ambient temperature around the lamp.

Material and Connector Choices That Make Life Easier

The halogen chemistry keeps the filament steady, so you get consistent output over a long service life. The quartz envelope handles fast temperature swings and high heat without breaking a sweat. A golden reflective coating sends the infrared energy forward where you want it, which boosts efficiency and keeps wasted heat from beating up the machine frame. And the R7s double-ended connector? It holds tight mechanically and makes a solid electrical connection. Installation is a straight drop-in, no drama.

Why It Shines in Fabric Laminating

On the line, this lamp heats adhesive film or coating in a flash, so you can hit it with pressure right away and seal the deal. The focused infrared pattern cuts warm-up time and helps you hold a consistent line speed without fuss. You get repeatable temperature control across the whole web, which means fewer headaches—less edge curl, fewer bubbles, and bonds that don’t leave you second-guessing. It’s built to run and run, but treat it right: keep oils and dust off the quartz. Contamination creates hot spots and shortens the life. A clean lamp is a happy lamp.
