Introduction
Ever been stuck with a furnace that’s just a little too snug? You need uniform heat for tempering glass, but the space is awkward, and standard heating elements just don’t cut it. We built our custom-length halogen infrared lamps for exactly that kind of headache. They slip into those tight corners where off-the-shelf parts give up, giving you precise control right where you need it.
Power, Voltage, and Dimensions: What It Means on the Floor
These lamps are specced for the real world of industrial glass. The key is power density. Take our 400V, 2500W setup packed into a 300mm tube. That’s a lot of heat in a small footprint, so you can hit the target temperature fast—no giant, power-hungry array needed. But here’s the catch: that concentrated heat means your furnace’s cooling and ventilation have to be up to the job. If the surrounding temperature climbs too high, you risk cooking nearby components. We match wattage and length to the exact thermal profile you need, so the glass heats evenly across the whole surface.
The Build: Halogen, Quartz, and the R7s Connector
Inside, a halogen cycle runs inside a high-purity quartz tube. That keeps the filament clean and the output steady over the lamp’s life. Quartz also handles the shock of rapid heating and cooling, which matters when your line starts and stops. Then there’s the R7s connector. It’s the workhorse—solid two-point contact that handles high current without arcing or loosening, even when things vibrate. And if your layout needs a custom shape, we can bend the tube to follow the contour of the glass, so the heat lands exactly where it should.
Fitting the Non-Standard Footprint: Solving the Tight Spot
Non-standard bending furnaces are a layout puzzle. You need heat where the glass bends, but space is at a premium. Our custom-length, custom-shaped lamps slide right into that geometry. You wire them in as a drop-in replacement for standard assemblies, but without the wasted space. That focused approach cuts heat loss and puts the energy straight onto the glass. The result? Consistent bending and tempering—no hot spots, no cold edges. And these lamps are tough enough to take the daily grind, delivering reliable performance cycle after cycle.
