Introduction
Ever need a heat source that’s tiny but seriously powerful? That’s exactly what we built these carbon fiber infrared heating tubes for. These aren’t your average heater. They’re high-temperature halogen lamps, engineered to throw out intense, focused infrared energy. The kind you need when your industrial process demands serious heat in a seriously tight space.
The Power, Voltage, and Size Breakdown
Let’s talk specs. A typical unit is a 300mm tube that runs at 2500W on 400V. Why this combo? It gives you a massive amount of heat density in a very small footprint. Running at 400V also keeps the current draw down, which means you can use smaller wiring and put less stress on the socket. And that 300mm length? It concentrates the heat right where you need it. Perfect for those cramped machine bays where every inch counts.
What’s Inside: Halogen, Quartz, and the R7s Connector
Inside, you’ve got a carbon fiber filament living inside a halogen-filled quartz envelope. The halogen cycle does its thing, keeping the filament stable. That means no blackening and consistent output for the life of the lamp. The quartz tube is tough enough to handle the extreme heat and the daily grind of the factory floor. And the R7s connector is a simple, solid two-pin design. It makes wiring a snap and locks the tube in securely inside a reflector assembly.
Where They Shine and What to Keep in Mind
We designed these tubes for jobs like PET blowing, plastic welding, and curing lines. Places where you need heat that responds instantly and gives you precise control. Because the infrared output heats the target directly—not the air around it—you get fast, efficient results. Just one thing to keep in mind: that 2500W power density at 400V means you need a control circuit that’s properly rated. You’ll also need to make sure the machine enclosure has enough cooling to handle the ambient heat.
