Shortwave Infrared Heaters

Shortwave based infrared heaters are used in industry processes where the need for rapid heat generating systems is prominent. As the name suggests, these heaters operate on infrared waves that are known to generate large amount of heat in a shorter duration of time. The heat is transmitted from one point to another in the form of electromagnetic waves.

Short Wave IR Lamp transmits heat in the form of electromagnetic waves at a velocity of approximately 3,00,000 Km/Sec i.e., at the speed of light. These lamps are not only the fastest in transmitting heat but are most suitable for specific applications involving vacuum technology and dust free (clean room) conditions.

Advantage

• Heating is done by radiation, this eliminates loss of energy used for heating media and heat loss due to convection
• Here the infrared waves penetrate the material, on which it falls and delivers the heat directly to that material

Applications

• PET preform heating in stretch blow molding machines
• Printing ink drying in offset machines
• Paper coating drying
• Pre - heating prior to embossing
• Screen printing curing on T - shirts
• Automobile Paint Curing
• Textiles and many more

Models of ShortWave Infrared Heaters

• Short wave infrared lamp: They are the fastest in transmitting heat and are most suitable for specific applications involving vacuum technology as well as dust free (clean room) conditions.
• Short wave infrared module: Used in variety of industry processes, the heat generated from these modules can be regulated in accordance to specific requirements.
• Twin tube short wave infrared heater: Made up of 8-shape high-purity clear quartz twin tube, these heaters consist of a tungsten coil with halogen gas flowing through it to generate the heat.
• Star Filament short wave infrared heaters: The special design of the lamp reduces the operating temperature along it to generate long wave radiation for greater effectiveness.
• Special short wave infrared heaters
• Mounting clamps for infrared heater
