Types of IR Heaters

Heraeus Noblelight understands the need of manufacturers to make industrial heating processes more efficient. A Heraeus heater is always matched to the process -- not vice versa. At Heraeus, we have extensive experience with thousands of heat processes. We maintain application centers worldwide, and our competent, responsive applications engineers are the foundation to make your heat processes faster, more energy-efficient, space-saving and focused on quality.

Industrial heaters from Heraeus Noblelight cover the spectrum of applications. We group our infrared heaters into types based on wavelength. All styles of Heraeus quartz heaters are available in stock, OEM and custom configurations to suit a wide variety of applications for industry.

	Short Wave, Twin Tube Infrared Heaters are comparable in spectrum to, and slightly longer in wavelength than halogen lamps. Because of their stable construction, twin tube infrared heaters can be supplied in lengths up to 3 meters. They offer virtually double the life compared to halogen heaters because of their robust industrial construction.
	Short Wave, Single Tube NIR Infrared Heaters from Heraeus are suited for situations requring high temperatures in the shortest possible time. And because these Heraeus NIR lamps are manufactured in standard configuration designs, matching the right infrared heater to your application is a snap.
	Fast Response, Medium Wave Infrared Heaters are twin tube IR heaters with a spectrum between short wave and standard medium wave heaters. These infrared heaters can be supplied in lengths up to 4.5 m so they are ideally suited to be used in large format applications such as wide webs. They achieve a significantly higher power density than standard medium wave heaters.
	Medium Wave Infrared Heaters distinguish themselves by being highly efficient and stable while having a long operating life. The Medium Wave heater spectrum is well suited for heating processes with most materials and the heaters are available in lengths up to 6m.
	Carbon Infrared Heaters are a recent development. These IR heaters use a carbon ribbon as the heating element. They have very fast heating times (<2 sec) which means they are especially suitable for processes where the heat must be switched on and off quickly. The spectrum is the same as medium wave infrared heaters, so carbon heaters are efficient for heating plastics and for drying processes. Carbon heaters are produced in lengths up to 3.5 m.
	Hybrid Carbon/Shortwave Infrared Heaters offer all of the benefits of Carbon and Shortwave heaters using Heraeus' proven twin-tube design. This infrared heaters combine a carbon heater and a short wave infrared heater in the proven quartz glass twin tube.
