Ceramic Infrared Heater Element: Full-Size, Flat Hollow Black (245x60mm)

Efficient & Reliable Infrared Heating for Industrial Processes

Consistent and controlled heat is vital for a wide range of industrial applications, from precise thermoforming to effective paint drying. An unreliable heating element can lead to inconsistent results, increased energy consumption, and production downtime. You need a high-performance solution you can trust.

Our Ceramic Infrared Heater Element is a high-quality, long-wave infrared solution designed to meet these demanding needs. Measuring 245 x 60mm, this full-size element is a standard footprint that fits a vast array of industrial machines and heating units. It converts an impressive 96% of its input power into heat, delivering a powerful and efficient performance with standard wattages from 400W to 1000W at 240V. The heating wire is embedded within a flat or concave-shaped ceramic body, ensuring a focused or parallel infrared output for precise application. All our ceramic elements are manufactured with CE and UL approvals, providing you with complete assurance of quality and safety.

• Precise Temperature Monitoring (Optional): Can be supplied complete with a K-type thermocouple for accurate and real-time temperature feedback.

Ceramic vs. Quartz: Making the Right Choice

While ceramic elements are ideal for many applications, it's important to choose the right technology for your needs.

• Ceramic (Far-Wave): Offers a gentler, more penetrating heat. It has a longer heat-up and cool-down time, making it excellent for applications requiring consistent, sustained heat without rapid temperature changes. The longer lifespan is a key advantage.
• Quartz (Medium-Wave): Our quartz elements, which fit the same 245x60mm footprint, offer a much faster heat-up time. They are better suited for applications that require rapid heat cycling or a more immediate heat response.
