Stop Letting Out-of-Stock Parts Kill Your Production
There is nothing worse than staring at a dead production line because some OEM part is on backorder. When your glass machinery stops, you aren’t just losing time—you’re losing thousands of dollars every single hour. It’s stressful. It’s frustrating. And frankly, you can’t afford to wait months for a replacement. That’s where we come in. We make custom infrared lamps that act as direct, drop-in replacements for your batch furnace heating elements. The best part? We can spec them out and ship them to your door in7 days. You get your line moving again. Fast.
Getting the Heat Right
Here is the thing about infrared lamps: if the wattage or voltage is off, you’re asking for trouble. You’ll either blow a fuse or end up with glass that isn’t hot enough to work with. We build these to your exact footprint. Whether you’re running 230V or 400V, we tweak the filament length and diameter until the wattage is spot on. Now, a quick heads-up: high-wattage tubes are great for rapid melting, but they put a lot of pressure on your power supplies. Just make sure your cooling fans are actually working, or you’ll risk melting your sockets.
The Stuff We Use
We only use high-purity quartz glass. Why? Because batch furnace cycles are brutal, and you need something that won’t crack under thermal shock. Depending on what you’re doing, we can give you clear quartz for shortwave radiation or coated tubes if you need medium-wave. And let’s talk about the connection points. That’s usually where things go wrong. We offer standard R7s or Sk15 bases, but if your existing sockets are burnt to a crisp, we can customize the lead wires for you. We use nickel-plated leads, too, so you don’t have to worry about oxidation ruining the contact.
No Headaches, Just Fit
These are designed to be plug-and-play. You won’t need to spend your weekend rewiring a control cabinet. We measure everything to the millimeter. When the lamp slides into the reflector, it seats perfectly. That means the heat goes exactly where it belongs—on the glass—instead of wasting energy on the furnace walls. Plus, if your OEM lamps keep burning out too fast, let us know. As long as your cycle time allows for it, we can nudge the wattage down a bit to help those filaments last longer.
