QUARTZ INFRARED HEATERS

Helios Quartz designs and builds quartz infrared emitters for industrial heating, drying and curing. Each emitter is matched to the material it has to heat, across short, fast medium and medium wavelengths, and built to the length, power and filament layout a production line needs. The range rests on more than 70 years of quartz processing and IR lamp manufacturing.

The Helios Quartz IR range

The catalogue covers:

• Single tube and twin tube emitters
• Custom non-linear shapes
• Complete heating modules
• A testing centre where materials are run under real IR conditions before a design is fixed

Twin tube emitters use a reverse “H” profile for higher mechanical strength and can reach 6.5 metres in length. Gold, white or ruby reflectors can be applied directly to the tube to direct more of the emitted energy onto the target.

Why quartz glass, and why Helios

Quartz glass is the material of choice for clear reasons:

• Stays transparent to IR radiation
• Holds working temperatures above 1000°C
• Resists chemical corrosion

Helios keeps a wide set of emitters in stock and designs the rest to specification. These are all set by the application, with guidance from the technical department:

• Total length
• Heated length
• Filament and ending configuration
• Power
• Voltage

Choose by wavelength

Wavelength decides how deeply and how fast a material heats. The three standard emitter families cover most processes:

Applications and industries

Helios IR emitters heat, dry and cure across the plastics and rubber, glass, printing, photovoltaic and automotive sectors. The right wavelength, reflector and module design depend on the material and the line, which is where the technical department and the Technical Center come in.
