Shortwave Infrared Carbon Heaters

Carbon infrared heaters, made in Chennai. The carbon filament combines effective medium-wave radiation, which water, coatings and many plastics absorb well, with very short response times in the seconds range, so the heater can follow line stops and changes in speed. The filament design gives a high radiation density and a mechanically robust heater. Carbon heaters are used for drying water-based coatings and inks, textiles and paper, and for heating plastics. Standard models cover a heated length of 127–635 mm at 500–2,500 W (see the table below), and lengths can be made to match an original lamp. To order a replacement, send the overall length, heated length, wattage, voltage and cap type, or the old lamp.
