We built this wall-mounted carbon infrared heater for engineers who need serious heat in a small footprint. It’s a shortwave infrared emitter, designed to blast focused energy straight where you need it—fast.
The guts of it
This unit runs on 400V and packs a lot of wattage into a short, 300mm tube. That compact shape concentrates the power, so you get intense heat right on target. And the wall-mount setup? It keeps the heater out of the way while putting the element in perfect line-of-sight. No fuss, just direct heat.
What’s inside
Inside, you’ve got a carbon filament tucked inside a quartz envelope. Halogen gas fills the tube, shielding the filament and keeping output steady over the long haul. The quartz tube takes thermal shock without blinking and runs hot, so the outer jacket is coated to manage surface temperature and protect nearby parts. And the R7s connector? It’s straightforward, industrial-grade, and makes wiring quick and solid. No messing around.
Where it shines
Use this heater for PET blowing, plastic pre-heating, and curing lines—anywhere you need fast, localized heat. The shortwave output climbs temperature fast, which helps you speed up cycle times. Now, here’s the thing: it delivers high heat density. That’s the power, but it also means your machine’s cooling and shielding need to be properly spec’d. Keep the surrounding area within safe limits, and you’re golden. In short, this is a tough, practical solution for process heat that has to be fast, focused, and easy to install.
