Introduction
We make short wave halogen infrared heaters for industrial jobs that need heat, and they need it fast. These lamps pack a serious punch in a small footprint, which makes them perfect when you need focused, line-of-sight heat that you can count on, over and over again.
Let’s Talk Tech
Here’s the thing about these heaters: they’re built for power. You get to dial in the specs to fit your machine—whatever voltage you’re running, like 400V, and the wattage needed to hit your target temperature. The size of the tube itself—its length and diameter—determines exactly where the heat lands. And that short wave energy? It peaks around 1 micron, which is just the sweet spot for materials like plastics and coatings to soak it right up. The upshot is heating that’s not just fast, but controllable.
What’s Inside Matters
The heart of it is a quartz envelope. It’s tough enough to handle extreme heat and lets infrared energy pass through cleanly. Inside, a halogen gas keeps the filament running hot without the lamp getting dim over time. That means the output stays steady, and the lamp lasts longer. For the connections, we use an R7s connector. It’s simple, solid, and makes mounting quick while handling the current without breaking a sweat. If you’re working in a rough environment, you can add a reflective coating. It pushes more energy forward, keeps stray heat away, and protects the parts nearby.
Where They Shine
You’ll see these heaters a lot in plastic processing, especially for things like PET blowing, where you need heat that’s both fast and even. They’re on-demand—no waiting around for them to warm up—and the focused beam means you’re not wasting energy. Just keep in mind, that kind of concentrated heat means your machine needs proper cooling and shielding. But when you match the lamp to your voltage, wattage, and physical space, it becomes a reliable, drop-in heat source that keeps your process running tight, right where you need it.
