Introduction
We built this infrared heater for those tight, demanding spots on the factory floor—the kind of places where you just can’t afford to mess around with weak heat. It’s a shortwave infrared unit, powered by a high-intensity halogen bulb, designed to blast out focused, rapid-fire radiant heat. And here’s the best part: it slips right into your existing setup. No need to rewire the whole machine. Think of it as a simple, drop-in upgrade that gets the job done.
The Power Behind the Heat
At the heart of this thing is a 400V, 2500W heating element. That’s a serious punch packed into a compact 300mm tube. The idea is pretty straightforward: more voltage means more power through a smaller space. What does that mean for you? Fast heat-up times and a concentrated heat profile. Perfect when you need intense energy, right now. But, and this is important, it does put a real load on your electrical system. So just make sure your wiring and control gear can handle 400V at this power level.
Built to Last
We didn’t cut corners on the materials. This uses a quartz halogen bulb, not your run-of-the-mill filament. The halogen cycle keeps the filament clean, which means the output stays strong and the lamp lasts way longer. The quartz envelope can take the shock of being switched on and off constantly. The whole tube is coated to focus the infrared energy and shield the insides. For the connection, we went with an R7s connector. It’s the industry standard for these linear tubes, so installation is a breeze. It’s a secure, plug-and-play fit that won’t wiggle loose, even on a vibrating machine.
Where It Shines
This heater was born for process heating where speed is everything. It’s your go-to for jobs like plastic welding, PET blowing, or curing coatings—any task where you need to heat the surface, not the whole room. The focused heat means your cycles are faster and you waste less energy. And that compact 300mm size? It fits into those crowded machine bays without a fight. But keep in mind, this is a shortwave emitter, so it delivers a sharp, intense heat. You’ve got to manage the distance to your target carefully to avoid scorching. For the engineer who needs a reliable, high-performance solution that installs fast and delivers the same great results every time, this is it.
