The Gold Tube Infrared Heater: When You Need Heat, Right Now
We built this heater for the folks who need serious, focused heat—without the bulk. Think of it as a halogen-quartz lamp on a mission. It’s all about giving you power you can control, in a package that doesn’t take over your whole workbench.
Power, Voltage, and Size: The Specs That Matter
It runs at 2500W on 400V. Here’s why that matters: the higher voltage means less current for the same wattage. So, you can use smaller wiring and not worry about voltage dropping off over long runs. The unit itself is just 300mm long, which concentrates all that heat into a tight spot. No wasted space. Just a predictable, powerful hot zone. But, fair warning—this thing is intense. You’ll want to plan your machine’s cooling and clearance carefully.
The Inside Story: Designed to Last
Inside, the halogen cycle keeps the filament stable. That means no blackening, and the output stays consistent over the life of the lamp. The gold coating isn’t just for looks. It reflects infrared energy back onto the target, so you get better absorption and more efficient heating. And the R7s connector? It’s a solid, industrial-grade connection. It handles high heat and makes installation straightforward and reliable, every single time.
Where It Shines: Real-World Applications
This is your go-to for jobs that need fast, localized heating. Perfect for PET blowing, plastic welding, curing, or even upgrading an old oven. The heat-up is almost instant, which gives you much tighter control over your cycle times. And because it’s so compact, fitting it into your existing setup is a breeze. Just remember, it’s a workhorse. You’ll get dependable performance, but you do need to size your thermal management right to keep everything around it running safely.
