We build halogen infrared heating tubes for the kind of industrial heating that can’t wait. Where you need heat on demand, and you need it under control. These quartz tubes pack a lot of power into a small space. That’s why they’re the go-to when you need process heat on the factory floor and you need it right now.
Let’s talk power, voltage, and size
When you’re sizing one up, you’ll look at wattage, voltage, and length. A common setup is 2500W, 400V, and 300mm. The 400V rating is nice because it runs straight off a standard industrial supply. No fuss, no over-current headaches. And that 2500W? It delivers the heat flux you need to ramp up fast. The 300mm length gives you a clean heating zone that slips into tight machine bays. Match the spec to your job, and your temperature rise stays predictable. Your controls stay calm, too.
What’s inside, and why it matters
The tube is quartz. Tough against thermal shock, and it lets infrared energy through like a champ. Inside, a halogen fill keeps the filament stable when things get scorching. That means less blackening and steady output over the life of the lamp. On the ends, you’ve got an R7s connector—double-ended, linear, and secure. It locks the tube in place and carries current cleanly. Swapping one in is quick and clean. Just make sure the socket matches the tube’s voltage and wattage.
Where they shine, and what to keep in mind
These tubes are made for industrial jobs that demand fast ramp-up and focused infrared energy. Think plastic processing, component drying—anything where time is money. That concentrated heat profile hits the target quickly, and that means shorter cycles. The form is compact, so it slips into existing enclosures without a fight. But here’s the thing: that high heat density is powerful. It’s great for the job, but it means your machine’s cooling and thermal management need to be on point. Keep the surrounding parts at a safe temperature, and you’re golden.
