Introduction
We built these carbon fiber infrared heat lamps for one reason: to dry paper faster and smarter. They pack a ton of heat into a small space, so you can speed up your line without tripping over extra equipment. The whole idea is to blast that energy straight onto the paper, pulling out moisture quickly and evenly.
The Inside Story
These lamps are serious workhorses. Each one runs at 2500W on 400V, so you get a ton of power packed into a single tube. The 300mm length keeps the heat right where you need it—perfect for a narrow web or, if you’ve got a wider setup, just group a few together. And because they run on high voltage, the current load is lower. That means simpler wiring and less energy wasted as heat in the copper. Just one heads-up: with this much power, the housing and reflector get seriously hot. So you’ll need to plan for proper airflow and cooling.
What Makes Them Tick
The carbon fiber element heats up almost instantly and stays steady, even when you’re running non-stop. The quartz envelope handles the extreme temperature swings and keeps things clean. Inside, the halogen gas keeps the filament at the right temperature, so you get consistent drying every single time. And the best part? The R7s base is a direct swap. You can replace your old lamps without changing the fixtures. The quartz coating also helps focus the energy where you need it most, so you’re not wasting a single watt.
Real-World Performance
On the paper line, you need heat that’s fast, focused, and doesn’t scorch the machine around it. These lamps hit that sweet spot. They respond instantly when you need to start or stop, and the output stays stable, so your moisture levels stay right where you want them. They’re built tough enough to handle round-the-clock cycling, but to keep them at their best, just make sure they’re lined up correctly and the reflectors stay clean.
