Introduction
We built this hot-end coating heater as a single, all-in-one infrared drying unit. It was born for screen-printed glass lines—the kind of setup where space is tight and every drying cycle has to be fast and dependable. The aim is simple: give you intense heat exactly where you need it, without forcing you to rebuild your whole machine just to fit it in.
The Tech, Without the Fluff
It runs on 400V, and that power lets us pack a serious punch into a small package. We’re talking 2500W of infrared output across just 300mm. That kind of power density means coatings and inks on glass cure fast. Less time sitting under the heat. A shorter dwell window. And that helps you tighten up the whole production line. The 300mm length wasn’t an accident. It matches the typical coating zone, so you get even, consistent heat without using a heater that’s bigger than it needs to be.
What It’s Made Of
Inside, you’ve got a halogen-based infrared emitter, sealed inside a quartz envelope. We chose it because it responds quickly and gives you precise control over the heat spectrum. The hot-end coating is built to take the stress of repeated heating and cooling. It holds up at high filament temperatures, so performance stays steady shift after shift. And the R7s connector? It makes installation clean. It locks in, handles high current, and turns the heater into a true drop-in replacement. The whole thing is built as one solid module, so you wire it once and stop wrestling with separate brackets and reflectors.
What It Does for You
On screen-printed glass lines, this design delivers two big wins. **One:**The integrated layout cuts out wasted space around the drying zone, shrinking the unit’s footprint by up to 40%. **Two:**The infrared profile cures coatings quickly, so you can speed up the line without cranking up oven temperatures. But let’s be real—2500W of density means you need cooling and ventilation that are up to the task. Protect the electronics, and keep everyone safe. If you can handle the heat side of it, you get a dryer that installs fast, runs hard, and keeps your line tight.
