spray booth carbon fiber

May 6, 2026

Introduction

We built these carbon fiber infrared heaters for one place: the spray booth. They’re all about getting coatings cured fast, without turning your whole ventilation system into a beast. The idea is straightforward. Hit the part with intense, focused heat. Keep the energy where it matters. And make a heater that can take the heat—day after day.

The Inside Story

If you’ve ever tried to cure in a spray booth, you know you need serious heat packed into a tight space. That’s why we run these on 400V. It keeps the current manageable on standard industrial circuits, but still gives you the wattage you need to ramp up fast. The 300mm tube length? It’s the sweet spot. It focuses the beam right where you need it, so you don’t have to redesign your entire oven or cure tunnel. At 2500W, these lamps deliver the intensity to hit cure temps quickly. But that also means everything around them has to be ready for serious, continuous heat. Plan your mounting distance and cooling ahead of time—these things run hot. And that’s exactly how they’re supposed to work.

What’s Inside, and Why It Matters

The carbon fiber elements give you stable resistance and a quick response. The halogen cycle keeps the quartz envelope clear, so the output stays consistent over time. We also add a reflective coating to aim the infrared energy downward. That means less wasted heat and less stress on nearby components. We chose the R7s connector because it’s tough in high heat. It holds a solid connection, handles repeated heating and cooling cycles, and makes swapping lamps a matter of minutes. It’s a drop-in replacement for many standard booth setups, so you can upgrade without rewiring the whole station.

Real-World Results

In a spray booth, you don’t want to heat the air. You want to heat the part. Carbon fiber infrared heaters deliver energy that penetrates the coating, curing it faster than convection. That means shorter cycles and less energy used. The focused profile fits tight lanes, and you can zone control it for different part sizes. The catch is managing the heat load. High watt density means you need proper shielding, clearance, and cooling to protect sensors, filters, and the booth itself. But when it’s set up right, you get repeatable curing with fewer burnouts. Which keeps your line moving, the way you want it.
