Carbon Fiber IR Heat Tube Lamp: Specs, Design, and Industrial Application

The carbon fiber IR heat tube lamp? It’s the kind of heater you install when you need heat—fast—and you can’t afford to mess around. We built it for the shop floor, for engineers who want a heater that’s tough, easy to wire, and doesn’t make you redesign your whole line just to fit it in.

Technical Deep-Dive: Power, Voltage, and Dimensions

This lamp runs on 400V, and it packs 2500W of power into a 300mm tube. That’s a lot of heat in a small space, which is exactly what you need when room is tight but performance can’t be. The 300mm length slips right into standard machine bays and compact heating zones. So you get serious heat without having to overhaul your setup. And because it’s 400V, the current load is lower than you’d get with a low-voltage heater of the same power. That means less stress on your wiring and a simpler install. But—high voltage means you’ve got to respect it. Proper insulation and safe installation practices matter. Make sure your control system can handle the startup surge and the steady load. And don’t forget to plan for cooling.

Material & Design: Halogen, Coating, and Connectors

Inside, the lamp runs in a halogen-filled environment. That protects the carbon fiber element and keeps output steady over time. No surprises, just consistent performance. The quartz envelope is coated to control the IR wavelength, keeping the energy in the shortwave band. That’s how you get that fast, penetrating heat that hits hard and fast. The coating also helps the tube stand up to thermal shock and harsh chemicals. It’s built for rough environments—the kind that chew up lesser gear. We fitted it with an R7s connector, a two-pin setup that’s proven in the field. That means it drops right into many existing heater housings. No custom mounts. No rewiring nightmares. Line it up, seat it, and secure it. Done. And that R7s contact design handles the current cleanly, which helps prevent hot spots at the terminal. Less maintenance. Less downtime.

Application & Benefits: PET Blowing and Beyond

In PET blowing, this lamp’s shortwave IR heats preforms quickly and evenly. You get faster cycles without scorching the polymer surface. The same fast-response heat shines in coating curing, thermoforming, and adhesive activation—anywhere you need heat on demand, not a slow warm-up. The carbon fiber element gives you that snap—instant response, steady output. But it does need a solid cooling plan. If you run it at full power in a tight spot, the surrounding components will feel it. Give it proper airflow or shielding, and you’ve got a heater that shows up, shift after shift, without drama.
