Infrared Halogen Heat Lamps: The Secret to Paint Oven Drying

We live and breathe industrial heating for the shop floor. Out here, it’s simple: the machine has to run, and it has to run the same way every single time. That’s why we built our infrared heat lamps for one purpose—to power through paint drying ovens with the focused energy needed to cure coatings fast.

What Makes Them Tick: Power, Voltage, and Shape

At the heart of these lamps is a shortwave infrared halogen element. We set them at 2500W and 400V for a reason: to pack a massive amount of heat into a small space. The 300mm tube length focuses all that energy into a tight zone, so you’re not wasting heat—you’re putting it right where it needs to be, directly on the part. This setup is perfect for ovens where space is tight, but you still need serious thermal output. Now, a 400V, 2500W setup brings some muscle. That means your oven’s cooling and airflow have to be up to the task. If the surrounding temperature climbs, the output drops, and your cycle times start to drag. Match the lamp to the machine, or you’ll just be spinning your wheels.

The Details: Halogen, Quartz, and the Right Connector

The halogen cycle keeps the filament steady, so you don’t get that blackening effect. It means the light stays consistent, day after day. And the quartz envelope handles the shock of turning on and off quickly—no cracking under the pressure of repeated starts. We also chose the coating on the tube to shape the infrared spectrum, pushing the energy right into the absorption band of paints and coatings. Then there’s the connector—an R7s. It’s a no-fuss, industrial-grade fit that makes wiring straightforward. Once it’s set up, swapping out a burnt-out tube takes minutes, not hours.

How It Works in Your Paint Oven

Inside a paint drying oven, these infrared halogen lamps cure coatings from the outside in. That cuts down on trapped solvents and gives you a cleaner, better finish. The shortwave response heats the coating quickly, so you can speed up the oven belt without sacrificing the cure. For you, that means less energy per part, cycle times you can count on, and a replacement that slides right in, keeping maintenance simple.
