Maltec-H Quartz Infrared Heater | Heating Elements

Quartz Infrared Heater provides short to medium wavelength radiation and can be the most preferred source of heat when rapid heater response is needed. They are used and preferred in industrial applications where a more rapid heater response is required. Quartz infrared heating elements are particularly effective in systems where rapid heater response and/or zone-controlled heating is required.

Operating up to 750°C (1380°F), quartz infrared heater produces wavelengths in the 1.5 – 8-micron spectrum, slightly shorter than ceramic elements. With a standard voltage of 230V, standard wattages range between 150W and 1000W. Quartz elements have the same mounting fixture as ceramic elements allowing easy replacement. This easy change heating element is ideal for design alterations involving the use of materials with different absorption characteristics.

The standard quartz infrared heater range consists of cassette style elements constructed with aluminium steel as standard, stainless steel is also an option. These emitters have peak emissions in the medium to long wavelength range. These elements are commonly used in a wide range of industrial heating and drying applications.

Applications

Quartz Infrared Heater provides instant heat response wherever it’s needed, across a variety of industrial applications. Normally favored and used where rapid heater response and/or zone-controlled heating is required, quartz elements heat up in seconds, far less time than ceramic heaters. This makes them particularly efficient and effective in plastic thermoforming, curing, and heater systems with long heater-off cycles.
