Introduction
We built the 1000W carbon lamp to solve one specific headache: getting industrial machines hot—fast—without turning the whole work area into a sauna. It’s shortwave infrared heat, focused and aggressive, for processes that demand you hit high temperatures quickly and stay there.
Power, Voltage, and Fit: The Practical Details
Here’s the thing: 1000W isn’t about gentle background warmth. It’s dense radiant heat—the kind that goes straight to the target and gets the job done. And it’s meant to play nice with what you already have. We designed it to run on standard industrial voltage, so it can drop into your existing control panels without a full rewiring project. We also matched the physical length to the heater zone you need, so you get even coverage across the part. No wasted space. No awkward overhang. Just a tight footprint that makes your machine layout feel smarter. The electrical specs—wattage, voltage, internal resistance, and reflector geometry—are all set to work together. If the supply is undersized, the lamp won’t perform the way you need. If it’s oversized, you’ll burn through service life. We tuned it so the lamp hits temperature fast, then holds steady even when the workload keeps coming.
Built to Handle Heat—Again and Again
Carbon filaments are the reason this lamp delivers broad infrared output that penetrates quickly—especially on plastics and coatings. You feel that efficiency as speed: the heat arrives where you need it, when you need it. The quartz envelope is there for the harsh reality of industrial cycles. It takes rapid heat-up and cool-down without cracking. And inside, a halogen gas fill helps keep the filament stable and reduces blackening over time, so performance stays consistent. For installation, we went with an R7s base because real-world uptime matters. It locks in solid, carries current cleanly, and makes lamp swaps quick when you’re servicing the machine. When the schedule is tight, that kind of simple swap can make your whole day easier.
Where It Shines—And What to Keep in Mind
This lamp is a natural fit for PET blowing, thermoforming, drying lines, and plastic welding. The shortwave response means rapid heating, which can shorten cycle times and reduce how long parts sit under heat—helpful when you’re working with sensitive materials. Now, a heads-up: with high intensity comes high surface temperature. That’s exactly what gives you the heat you need, but it also means you want proper guarding and cooling management around the zone. Size your airflow and shielding to match the power density, and this lamp settles into your machine as a straightforward, drop-in heat source you can count on.
