Introduction
We built this 360mm, 1000W carbon fiber heat tube to be a direct-fit infrared heater—perfect for those tight spots in industrial heating zones. It was designed to give you predictable heat in a compact package, so you can fit it into machines where space is scarce and you need heat fast.
What’s Under the Hood
The 360mm length gives you a precise heated zone, and the 1000W rating gives you the power you need for your thermal budget. It’s the sweet spot for medium-load jobs where you need serious power density without a long, bulky tube. The voltage is matched to the heater’s internal resistance, so it pulls exactly the wattage it’s rated for. That means you can size your controls and wiring with confidence—no guesswork.
Materials and Design
The carbon fiber element keeps resistance stable and the infrared output consistent, even after thousands of heat-up and cool-down cycles. And the quartz envelope? It heats up fast and handles thermal shock way better than ceramic, which is a big deal when you’re turning the heat on and off all day. Plus, it uses an R7s base—a standard, proven connector. That means it drops right in as a replacement in most existing fixtures, so you can get the line back up and running with minimal downtime.
Where It Shines
This tube is your go-to when you need focused heat, fast, in a small footprint. Think plastic welding, curing adhesives, or drying components. The short length makes it easy to mount in cramped enclosures, and the high wattage for its size helps you cut down on cycle time. Just one thing to keep in mind: packing 1000W into 360mm creates a lot of local heat. So you’ll want to manage nearby components and make sure you have proper ventilation to keep the ambient temperature from creeping up.
