carbon fiber infrared heater

Introduction

We built this carbon fiber infrared heater for one reason: to deliver hard-hitting, focused heat when your industrial process needs it most. Think of it as a halogen shortwave infrared lamp that thrives on tough, non-stop work—where speed and raw power are non-negotiable.

Technical Deep-Dive

This unit hits 2500W and runs on 400V. That means serious heat packed into a surprisingly small footprint. At just 300mm long, it keeps the heat zone tight. You get the energy exactly where you need it, without having to clear out half your machine bay. Going high voltage lets us pack more power into less space, but it also means your control gear has to be up to the task—matched to that 400V supply and ready to handle the initial surge.

Material & Design

Inside, the carbon fiber element sits snug in a quartz tube, surrounded by halogen fill gas. That combo keeps the filament steady even when things get scorching, and it helps fight off the usual blackening over time. So you get steady, reliable output shift after shift. The R7s connector gives you a solid, no-wobble connection that can take vibration in stride. And when it’s time to swap out a lamp, it drops right in—no fuss, no rework.

Application & Benefits

This heater shines wherever you need fast heat-up and precise temperature control—places like PET blowing, thermoforming, or curing adhesives. That shortwave infrared profile delivers energy fast, which helps cut cycle time and keeps your process consistent. One thing to keep in mind: with that kind of power density, you’ll want proper cooling and good thermal shielding. It keeps the intense radiant heat from reaching nearby components, so everything around it stays protected.
