Twin Tube Short Wave Infrared Heaters

Short-wave twin-tube infrared heaters are industrial heating elements that emit infrared radiation in the short-wave spectrum (0.78–1.4 µm) using a twin quartz tube structure.

• Twin-Tube Design:
  Two fused quartz tubes arranged side by side, increasing mechanical strength and allowing longer span lengths without additional support.
• Short-Wave Infrared Output:
  Uses tungsten filaments heated to ~2,200°C, producing intense, deep-penetrating IR heat. Ideal for fast response times (less than 1 second).
• Directional Heating:
  Often includes a reflective coating (gold or ceramic) inside one tube to focus heat in a single direction, improving efficiency.
• Fast Response & High Power Density:
  Power densities up to 100 kW/m², enabling rapid heat-up and cooldown — excellent for dynamic or high-speed processes.

• Instant on/off capability
• Uniform and controlled heating over wide areas
• Durable design for long heater lengths without sagging
• Energy-efficient due to focused and rapid heating

• Paint and coating drying/curing
• Plastic forming (e.g., PET bottle preheating)
• Textile and paper drying
• Electronics manufacturing
• Automotive and glass industries
