Industrial Carbon Infrared Heater: Focused Heat, Small Package

We built this carbon infrared heater for engineers who need serious heat in a tight spot. It’s a shortwave, halogen-style lamp that brings the intensity right where you need it—on the factory floor.

Power, Voltage, and Size: The Practical Stuff

It runs at 2500W, so you get a lot of heat packed into a small space. That means temperatures climb fast. It’s designed for 400V, which helps keep the current draw lower. Less strain on your wiring and contactors. Less headache for you. At 300mm long, the heating zone stays compact. You can slip it into tight machine frames without having to tear apart the whole design.

What’s Inside: Materials and Build

Inside, you’ve got a carbon filament living in a halogen-filled quartz tube. That combo keeps output steady and helps the filament last longer. A reflective coating on the tube pushes more energy forward. Less heat wasted to the sides. More going where you want it. And the R7s two-pin connector? Simple. It drops right into many standard fixtures. No fuss, no rewiring projects.

Where It Shines: Uses and What to Expect

You’ll see this setup a lot in PET blowing, plastic welding, and coating curing. Places where you need quick response and even surface heating. Installation is straightforward. Wire it up, aim the beam, and set your controls. Done. But here’s the honest part: packing 2500W into a 300mm tube makes things hot—fast. Make sure your machine’s cooling and shielding are up to the task. Keep your components protected, and your operators safe.
