Frequently Asked Questions
No. These heaters are specifically designed for horizontal operation only to ensure safe and uniform heat distribution.
The gold plating reflects heat back toward the heating surface, improving energy efficiency by up to 20% and reducing heat loss to the surroundings.
Quartz heaters reach operating temperature and cool down within 30 to 60 seconds, offering rapid thermal response.
Industries such as textile, printing, automotive, plastics, packaging, and food processing rely on these heaters for drying, curing, and forming applications.
Yes. Alfa Heaters can provide customized heaters based on your specific diameter, length, and wattage needs.
These are medium wave IR heaters, emitting wavelengths in the range of 2.5 to 3.0 microns, ideal for surface heating.
Typically no. The built-in gold coating acts as a reflector, making external reflectors optional.
They can achieve up to 80% radiant efficiency, delivering maximum heat with minimal energy waste.
Yes, the clean and efficient heating makes them suitable for conveyor-based drying of food products.
