1600w/2000w 235v carbon fiber ir heat lamp for textile dryer

We built this 1600W/2000W, 235V carbon fiber infrared heat lamp for one place: textile drying lines. Where speed and even heat aren’t just nice to have—they’re everything. The whole point is simple: dry fabric fast, without scorching it. And shortwave infrared makes that happen.

Power that fits your line

You’ve got two power ratings here—1600W and 2000W. That flexibility lets you match the dryer to your line speed and fabric thickness. And the 235V design? It plugs straight into many plant panels without rewiring the entire line. Less hassle. Less downtime. The carbon fiber element heats up almost instantly, so when your conveyor speed changes, the lamp responds right away. Just one heads-up: this is high heat density. Make sure your machine’s airflow and cooling are set up properly so the lamp and reflector stay in the safe zone.

Tough by design

Carbon fiber elements stay stable and handle repeated heating and cooling without cracking—unlike some other filament types. The quartz envelope keeps the heat where it should be and shields the element. Meanwhile, the IR coating tunes the output to match how common textile finishes absorb heat. And the R7s base? It’s a straightforward, solid connection. Swapping a lamp is a quick “line it up, lock it in” moment. Then you get back to work.

What it feels like on the line

On a textile dryer, the lamp has to deliver consistent heat across the whole width of the fabric. Carbon fiber infrared does exactly that—strong, even intensity that pulls moisture out quickly. Because it ramps up fast, you waste less energy when the line starts and stops. For you, that means fewer stops for lamp changes and performance you can count on shift after shift.
