We built the 490mm 950W Halogen Heat Lamp for one reason: flash drying machines that need heat to jump into action—and stay steady—without taking up a ton of space. It throws concentrated infrared energy right where you need it, so moving webs and parts get surface heat and solvent evaporation fast. Here’s the thing: the 490mm length and 950W rating aren’t random. They match the usual dwell zone and power budget of a flash dryer, so you get a tight heat profile without pushing the line beyond its comfort zone. And it runs on standard industrial voltages, so you can wire it in without tearing up the control panel specs. The power density is tuned for a quick heat-up, so the dryer hits setpoint fast and holds it with barely a wobble. The halogen tech keeps the filament running hot and clean, which helps the output stay strong over the life of the lamp. The quartz envelope takes the shock of rapid cycling without cracking, and the internal halogen cycle fights blackening—so you don’t lose output as the lamp ages. Plus, the R7s double-ended connector is a no-fuss industrial fit: solid contact, easy swaps, and alignment that repeats every time inside the reflector. When you’re flash drying, you need heat that turns on instantly, stays stable, and fits the machine like it was born there. This lamp does exactly that, putting the energy on target without turning the whole frame into a hot box. But heads up: the output is intense. Make sure your reflector, airflow, and guarding are up to the heat density, or you risk cooking nearby components. For engineers, it’s a straightforward, drop-in heating core that makes service easier and keeps the line moving.
