On the line, glass doesn’t wait. A laggy heat-up or a temperature profile that drifts costs you minutes, scrap, and margin. We built the 2000W Halogen Infrared Lamp to keep pace with tempering, bending, lamination, and coating—putting repeatable heat exactly where you need it. What matters under the hood It’s short-wave halogen infrared in a quartz envelope, so response is fast and control is tight. At 2000W, you get the flux density required for quick thermal cycles without overshoot. The filament geometry and reflector setup shape a uniform thermal field, which helps prevent hot spots that drive thermal stress and edge fractures. The response is near-instant, so setpoints track cleanly through ramps and holds. In practice, that means less time waiting for stability and more consistent glass behavior shift after shift. Why it fits the work we do Tempering demands a heating phase that’s fast and even so the compressive stress comes out uniform. Bending lives and dies on a controlled sag profile—heat distribution has to be repeatable. In EVA/SGP/PVB lamination, the adhesive cure window is narrow: too cool and you trap bubbles in the interlayer; too hot and you lose edge definition. This lamp hits those windows with repeatable ramp rates, short soak times, and a stable hold. The payoff is fewer optical defects, higher first-pass yield, and a line speed you can actually plan around. Energy stays disciplined because the lamp delivers heat on demand, with minimal idle loss compared to longer-cycle alternatives. Field notes that keep it running Installation is straightforward on standard fixtures, but the quartz envelope doesn’t forgive contamination or mechanical shock. Keep the lamp clean, align the focal plane precisely, and verify voltage stability to protect filament life. You’ll get the best performance where dust, oil, and vibration are under control. When paired with proper controls, we’ve seen units run over 5,000 hours with minimal output drift—making this a practical drop-in for OEM heating modules in high-duty glass processing lines.
