Introduction
We built this carbon fiber heat lamp for one place: the food production line. You know the drill—you need serious heat, right now, without a giant, clunky heater taking up space. So we packed a halogen shortwave infrared element into a sleek quartz tube. The result? Intense, focused heat that’s perfect for jobs like drying surfaces, sealing packages, or heating things up fast.
What’s Under the Hood
Here’s the thing about this lamp—it’s designed for the real world, not a spec sheet. It runs on 400V, which lets us cram a lot of power into a small package. That means the target heats up fast. The tube is 300mm long, so you get a clean, defined heating zone that slips into tight spaces without forcing you to redesign your whole machine. And with 2500W of output, you get the heat density you need to hit your process temperatures quickly. Just keep in mind, that kind of power means your machine’s cooling and airflow need to be up to the task.
The Design That Works
Inside the quartz tube, the carbon fiber element gives you stable resistance and responds almost instantly. The halogen fill keeps everything strong, even when you’re heating up and cooling down over and over again. We also lined the inside with a reflective coating. It pushes more infrared energy forward, so you get more power where you need it and less wasted heat. And that R7s connector? It’s more than just convenient. It’s a solid, two-contact design that makes wiring simple, keeps the current flowing reliably, and turns this lamp into a straightforward drop-in replacement.
Where It Shines
On the food line—whether you’re sealing packaging, pulling out moisture, or heating surfaces with precision—this lamp delivers predictable heat in a small footprint. The quick response helps you keep line speeds steady, and the R7s connection cuts down on installation time. But here’s the part to keep in mind: this is serious heat. You’ll want to manage the heat rejection and plan your component spacing carefully to protect nearby sensors and controls.
