Common infrared heating objectives across industrial applications
The table provides a general starting point. Final emitter selection should be confirmed according to the actual material and equipment.
| Process | Primary Heating Objective | Common Lamp Direction | Important Design Factors | Typical Product Family |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| PET Preform Heating | Rapid and controlled heating before blowing | Focused reflector toward the preform | Power density, heated length and reflector coverage | Short-wave reflector lamp |
| Printing & Ink Drying | Evaporation and curing at production-line speed | Uniform heating across the printed width | Lamp length, dryer width, switching speed and cooling | Twin-tube or fast-response emitter |
| Paint & Coating | Surface curing and solvent removal | Targeted heat toward coated surfaces | Coating type, film thickness and allowable temperature | Short-wave or medium-wave lamp |
| Textile Drying | Moisture removal and printed textile drying | Even energy across moving fabric | Fabric type, line speed, moisture level and lamp distance | Carbon or medium-wave lamp |
| Plastic Processing | Softening, forming and controlled material heating | Matched to the forming area | Plastic type, thickness, shape and heating uniformity | Short-wave, carbon or custom-shaped lamp |
| Industrial Equipment | Application-specific process heating | Designed around the machine layout | Operating environment, mounting, output and control method | Custom single-tube or twin-tube emitter |
Support for new heating designs and existing machine replacements
The information required depends on whether the project is a new application or a replacement for an installed infrared lamp.
Develop an emitter around the heating objective
For new applications, lamp selection begins with the material, process temperature, heated area and required production speed.
- Material and surface description
- Target temperature or process result
- Heating area and available installation space
- Cycle time or production-line speed
- Power supply and control method
Match an existing lamp or installed machine
Replacement enquiries can start from a part number, machine model, photograph, drawing or physical lamp sample.
- Original lamp part number
- Machine manufacturer and model
- Voltage, wattage and dimensions
- Reflector, terminals and lead wires
- Clear photographs or old sample

A complete technical specification is not required for the first discussion. Send the information currently available and we can identify the next measurements needed.
Send Application Details →From process information to an infrared lamp proposal
The review process focuses on identifying the correct construction before prototype production or replacement confirmation.
Describe the heating process
Provide the material, heating goal, temperature, process speed and available installation space.
Review the emitter direction
We evaluate wavelength family, lamp construction, reflector, power and heated area.
Confirm technical dimensions
Dimensions, terminals, mounting, wiring and installation details are checked before production.
Prototype and test
A sample can be produced for dimensional inspection and evaluation in the customer's equipment.
Repeat production
Confirmed specifications can be retained for repeat orders and future replacement planning.
Selecting infrared lamps for industrial applications
Which infrared wavelength is best for my application?
The most suitable wavelength depends on material absorption, required heating speed, process temperature, lamp distance and production cycle. Short-wave lamps are commonly used for fast and intensive heating, while carbon and medium-wave lamps can be effective for drying, textiles, coatings and plastics.
Can you recommend a lamp for a completely new heating system?
Yes. Provide the material, heating area, target result, process time, available space, voltage and expected quantity. These details provide a starting point for reviewing the possible lamp construction.
Can an existing machine lamp be replaced without the original drawing?
An initial evaluation can often start from the part number, machine model, clear photographs, measured dimensions or an old lamp sample. Additional technical details may be required before production.
Can the reflector direction be customized?
Reflector material, coverage and direction can be reviewed according to the installation position and the area that needs to receive the infrared energy.
Do you support prototype testing?
Prototype production can be discussed after the technical construction, quantity, price and production requirements have been confirmed.
Can one lamp design be used for different applications?
Similar lamp constructions may be used across different industries, but voltage, wattage, wavelength, reflector, heated length and installation details should be confirmed for each machine and process.
