The Power Behind the Heat

We built these halogen heat lamps for one reason: to blast heat exactly where you want it, and do it in a flash. Inside an oven, that means going big—high wattage, high voltage. We’re talking 400V and up to 2500W of power. It might sound excessive, but it’s just smart physics. The high voltage lets us push a lot of current through without needing thick, clunky copper wires all over the machine. The payoff? A heating element that’s compact, yet can crank up the temperature almost instantly. And that 300mm length? It’s just right. Enough to cover a standard heating zone without hogging space.

Why Quartz and Halogen Are the Perfect Match

At the heart of it all is the quartz tube. It can handle the shock of going from cold to scorching in seconds without cracking—something regular glass just can’t do. Then there’s the halogen cycle. That’s the secret to the lamp’s long life. The halogen gas keeps the filament from burning out too fast by putting the evaporated tungsten right back where it belongs. So the lamp stays bright and hot for the long haul. And that shortwave infrared coating? It’s not just for looks. It focuses the energy into a specific wavelength that gets right to the heart of the material. For connectors, we stick with R7s or Sk15 bases. They give you a solid, high-temp connection that can take the heat and vibration of an industrial oven without sparking or failing.

Putting the Power to Work: Precision Drying

This setup is made for industrial drying. Whether you’re drying coatings, curing adhesives, or processing food, the shortwave infrared output hits the target directly. No wasted energy heating the air. That means faster cycle times and less wasted power. The lamp fires up instantly—no waiting around for it to warm up. Your production line keeps moving. But here’s the thing: with this much power comes a catch. The intense heat density means the oven’s cooling and shielding have to be on point. If the machine isn’t built to handle the ambient heat, nearby parts can get damaged. But when the system is designed right, you get a reliable, drop-in heating solution that keeps your process running hot and steady.
