Short Wave Infrared Lamp
Short Wave Infrared (SWIR) Heaters are heating devices that emit infrared radiation in the short wave spectrum, typically ranging from 0.78 to 1.5 microns. These heaters produce intense radiant heat that penetrates surfaces quickly and efficiently.
Key Features:
- Fast Response Time: They heat up and cool down rapidly, making them ideal for applications requiring precise temperature control.
- High Intensity: Short wave IR delivers more concentrated heat, suitable for processes that demand high temperatures.
- Penetration Power: Effective at heating objects and surfaces directly, rather than the surrounding air.
Common Applications:
- Industrial drying and curing (e.g., paints, coatings)
- Thermoforming plastics
- Food processing
- Heating in outdoor or drafty environments
Advantages:
- Energy-efficient due to direct heating
- Low maintenance
- Compact and easy to install
