1500w quartz halogen infrared heat lamp for screen painting

Introduction

We built this 1500W quartz halogen infrared heat lamp for one reason: to cure screen ink and coatings fast—without cooking the part underneath. This isn’t about slowly warming the whole room. It’s about aiming heat exactly where you need it, so the wet layer dries quickly and your line keeps moving.

Power, Voltage, and Geometry: Why It Matters on the Floor

The 1500W rating gives you a lot of heat in a small space. That concentrated power is what helps you hit fast cure times, even when you’re running multiple passes or thicker coatings. And it’s built to run on standard industrial voltages. Inside, the filament and leads are sized to take the stress of repeated heat-up and cool-down cycles. Geometry matters more than most people think. The tube length and the focused beam let you match the heat to the exact width of the printed area. That means less wasted heat, less strain on your ventilation, and cooler components nearby. If your machine has a different footprint, we can adjust wattage and length to match your envelope and mounting setup.

Material and Design: Built for the Grind

The quartz envelope handles the shock of rapid on/off cycling. The halogen cycle keeps the filament stable over time, so output stays consistent and you don’t get early burnout from blackening. The infrared output is tuned to be absorbed by the ink layer, not just bounce off the surface. Mounting is meant to be straightforward. The lamp uses an R7s base, so it drops right into existing fixtures. If your setup uses an SK15 connector, we can provide the matching termination—plug it in and go.

On the Line: Curing Screen Painting, Without the Wait

On a screen painting line, this lamp cures the image right after it’s deposited. You get fast solvent removal, solid adhesion, and consistent color—without long drying delays. One thing to keep in mind: 1500W means concentrated heat. Make sure your machine’s cooling and airflow are set up to manage the temperature around the lamp and the part. We run these hard, because that’s what factory floors demand. They take the beating and still hold steady output. For your next refurb or new build, match the lamp to your cure profile, wire it up, and run.
