This ruby infrared halogen lamp? It was built for the folks who need serious heat, but don’t have the room to spread out. We designed it to get hot, fast, for those jobs where space is tight and you can’t afford to wait around.
Getting Under the Hood
Here’s the thing—we run these at high voltage, usually 400V, to pack a ton of power—around 2500W—into a slim 300mm quartz tube. That kind of power density means you can heat up your target in a flash, without needing a giant, bulky machine. It’s fast. Seriously fast. But, and this is important, that kind of concentrated heat means you’ve got to plan for cooling. The surrounding area is going to get hot, so your equipment needs to be ready to shed that heat.
What It’s Made Of
The quartz tube can take the shock of being switched on and off over and over again without cracking. Inside, the halogen cycle keeps the filament clean and stable, so you get consistent output for the long haul. That ruby coating? It filters out the visible light and pushes the output into the shortwave infrared range. It’s all about efficient, penetrating heat. And the R7s connector is a no-nonsense, solid contact point. Wire it up, and it stays put. It keeps everything aligned, making installation a breeze and ensuring the connection stays solid, even with vibration.
Where It Shines
This is your go-to for fast, focused heat. Think PET blowing, plastic welding, curing, or thermoforming. The shortwave output is a natural fit for polymers, and the compact size slips right into those tight spots. The halogen chemistry is tough enough for constant cycling, and that R7s base makes swapping out the lamp a quick and easy job. Just keep in mind: with this much power packed into a small space, you need to manage the heat. Make sure your setup is built to handle it, so your components stay safe and your operators stay comfortable.
