Infrared Carbon Fiber Tubes: Putting Heat Where You Need It

We make these infrared carbon fiber tubes for one reason: so you, the engineer, can get heat exactly where you want it. Forget the idea of a standard heater. These are precision tools, built to deliver a powerful blast of shortwave infrared energy. Inside, it’s all about the carbon filament, tucked away in a quartz tube, often with a mix of halogen gas. This setup lets the tube get seriously hot, turning electricity directly into radiant heat. And almost none of it is wasted on warming up the air.

The Specs That Actually Matter

Every number on these tubes is there for a reason. Take a common setup: a 400V, 2500W unit packed into a 300mm length. That’s a lot of power in a small space. The high voltage handles the power through the standard R7s connectors without frying the contacts. The short length? That’s what lets you focus the heat into a tight spot. Perfect for spot heating or processes that need a laser-focused thermal profile. Just know this: you’re packing a lot of heat into a small footprint. So whatever’s around it needs to be ready for the heat. Adequate cooling is a must.

The Heart of the Machine

The carbon filament is the real star. It heats up fast and puts out a ton of infrared. Inside that quartz tube, the halogen cycle keeps the filament from breaking down. That means a longer life and a steady, reliable output. And the R7s connector? It’s the industry standard for a reason. It gives you a solid, two-point connection that can handle the high current. It just works. The whole design is a straight swap for what you already have, which makes maintenance and integration a total no-brainer.

Real-World Power

These tubes shine when you need heat, and you need it now. They’re the go-to for industrial drying, plastic welding, and curing. The shortwave infrared gets right to the core of the material, heating it from the inside out. For you, that means faster cycles and using way less energy than old-school convection methods. They’re tough enough to handle the factory floor day in and day out. But they run hot. So when you’re handling or installing them, you just have to respect the safety protocols.
