Years of quartz production combined with IR lamp manufacturing let Helios build custom, non-linear emitter shapes and supply the cables and holders that go with them. This page covers the special shapes, two laboratory heaters, and the accessories that complete an installation.
Special emitters: custom shapes
Helios produces custom-designed, non-linear curved emitters in these shapes:
- Circular, omega and oval shapes
- Linear shapes with the ending part coming out at 90° from the lamp body
- Shapes that follow the profile of the object being heated
A circular, omega or oval emitter can heat a tubular object with a single unit, which is why these designs are common in automotive work such as plastic welding, bending and forming of component parts.
IR quartz epiradiators
Epiradiators use quartz glass transparency to IR, its resistance to corrosive agents, and its tolerance of thermal shock. They are built as a waterproof quartz glass chamber with the heated filament connected through an electrically insulated fused-silica handle, and are normally used to evaporate liquid solutions in laboratories and chemical plants.

IR quartz dipping and immersion heaters
For warming liquids, Helios makes dipping heaters from a quartz glass tube closed on one side, with an insulated electrical connection on the other. Standard models run from 200 mm to 1500 mm of heating length and from 300 W to 4000 W of power.
Accessories: cables and holders
Cable choice matters as much as the emitter. Standard emitters ship with cables rated up to 250°C or up to 400°C; on request, emitters can be fitted with wire rated up to 700°C or up to 1100°C.
For installing IR lamps into ovens, Helios recommends inconel mounting clamps: a high-temperature alloy that tolerates more than 1000°C and holds its original shape through controlled dilation.
FAQ
What custom shapes are available?
Circular, omega, oval, linear with 90° ends, and shapes that follow the object’s profile. Circular, omega and oval emitters can heat a tubular object with a single unit.
What power and length do dipping heaters cover?
Standard dipping heaters run from 200 to 1500 mm heating length and 300 to 4000 W.
How hot can the cables run?
250°C or 400°C as standard, and up to 700°C or 1100°C on request.
