We built these carbon fiber infrared heat lamps for one reason: to handle the grind of textile drying lines. These aren’t just bulbs. They’re serious heating tools, built to run and run, day after day. Here’s the thing about power and size. We packed 2,500 watts into a 300mm tube, so you get intense heat in a tight footprint. That means you can zero in on exactly the spot you need to dry, without eating up valuable line space. It runs on 400V, which fits right into standard industrial setups. But with that kind of power, make sure your machine’s cooling is up to the job. Keeping things cool matters. The carbon fiber element is the heart of the speed. It responds instantly and throws off strong infrared heat, which means fabric dries faster. The quartz envelope is coated to handle the shock of rapid on/off cycles. And for the connection, we went with the R7s double-ended plug. It’s tough, it locks the lamp in place, and it handles the current without any arcing. On a drying line, you want heat that lands on the fabric, not on the air around it. These IR lamps deliver that direct punch, which can cut down on gas or steam use. The size is compact, so swapping in for older halogen or quartz heaters is straightforward. Less downtime. More consistent moisture control across the whole width of the fabric. It just feels solid when it’s running.
