IR Thermal SF Infrared Heaters

IR Thermal’s line of Stamped Foil (SF) medium wave industrial infrared heaters are highly efficient, fastresponse heaters suitable for a wide variety of OEM equipment and industrial process heating applications.

• Rugged stamped foil element strips are mounted on a high temperature insulation board. The energy freely radiates to the product without any quartz or ceramic to block the energy, allowing an up to 90% conversion of electrical power input to useable radiant output, eliminating thermal lag for very tight process control, and minimizing stored heat which causes damage to products on shutdown.

• SF heaters have a peak wavelength of 2 microns and can be designed for up to 30 watts per square inch. They heat up and cool down in 10 to 20 seconds and can be equipped with Type K thermocouple or a non-contact Pyrometer

• Our industrial IR panel heaters are ruggedly constructed with no glass or quartz. They can last to 20,000 hours or more and can be easily repaired. They can be mounted in any orientation and they are available with multiple zones within a module upon request.

• Available in a wide variety of sizes, voltages, and power outputs to suit any application.

• All Stamped Foil heating elements are manufactured in-house according to high standards.

• Fast Lead Times with standard designs and parts kept in stock.
