Gold Tube Infrared Heaters: Precision Heat, Packed into a Small Space
We built the Gold Tube infrared heater for one reason: to give you serious heat, fast, when you’re squeezed for space. It’s for those moments on the factory floor when you need high-temperature power—right now—without ripping your whole line apart.
Power, Voltage, and Size: All About the Punch
Here’s the heart of it: this thing packs a ton of power into a compact quartz tube. A standard unit runs at 2500W and is built for 400V. That means lower current draw, which keeps your wiring simpler and the conductors smaller. And at just 300mm long, it focuses all that heat into a tiny footprint. So you’re not heating the whole room—you’re heating the exact spot that needs it. This isn’t your everyday, run-of-the-mill heater. It’s a focused tool, and it asks for a little planning around electrical and thermal setup.
What’s Inside: The Design That Makes It Work
Inside, you’ve got a halogen element that delivers shortwave infrared. The payoff? It warms up almost instantly and responds quickly to changes. The gold coating isn’t just for looks. It reflects infrared energy back onto the target, so you get more usable heat where you need it and less wasted energy. And the R7s connector? It’s practical, not flashy. It handles the wattage, locks in securely, and lets you swap the heater out fast—no tools needed—when you’re back on the line.
Where It Shines: Real-World Use and What It Asks For
This is your go-to when you need fast, localized heating. Think plastic forming, curing, drying—anything that needs heat in a hurry, right where the work is. The shortwave output sinks into materials efficiently, and the compact size makes it a natural fit as a drop-in replacement. Just one thing to keep in mind: because the heat density is high, you’ll want to make sure there’s enough airflow and heat sinking around it to keep nearby components happy.
