Ceramic Heaters

Quartz Tube
Assemblies

Ceramic elements are 96% infrared energy efficient with a maximum temperature of 1292ºF. Standard voltages are from 120v to 480v and standard wattages range between 150 watts and 1000 watts.

Medium wave heaters (Same size as ceramic heaters.) Quartz tubes running parallel to each other within a highly reflective aluminized steel housing. Watt densities up to 30 w/sq. inch are available. Small in size, and can easily be put in larger panels.

Panel Heaters

Tubulars

Panel Heaters offer many different infrared electric solutions including quartz composite face heaters, opaque fused quartz face heaters,  and metal or glass face heaters.
Common applications for the glass face heaters include operation as the bottom oven in a thermoforming machine.The glass heater can be constructed as wide as 24"  and as long as 36" . Panel heaters have a maximum watt density of 20 watts/in2  and a durability defined by a typical life expectancy of 25,000 hours. It has a high radiant efficiency of 77.5%. Because the heater's design does not depend on an external reflector, the heater maintains a consistently high radiant efficiency over time.

Quartz Tungsten

Coil heaters can be used for softening plastics for compression molding or vacuum forming.  Properly controlled, the desired temperature can be accurately maintained. The specular reflector projects a square heat pattern that provides even heat distribution with the emitter 8" away from the product. This eliminates hot and cold spots commonly found in round or trough-shaped reflectors. Aluminum or stainless steel reflectors can be covered with disposable reflectors.

Robust, steel-bodied systems designed for the optimal installation of quartz tungsten emitters. The tungsten filament used in these heaters is the porcupine or star type coil, which can be operated at temperatures up to 1500°C
