Fostoria 10KW Electric Heaters & Salamanders

Regular maintenance includes inspecting infrared lamps for signs of discoloration or failure, cleaning reflectors to preserve energy efficiency, checking electrical connections for corrosion, and verifying safety interlock circuits are functional. It is recommended to follow the manufacturer's maintenance schedule and replace lamps with exact-specification replacements to ensure consistent performance and safety.

A 10kW heater draws approximately 42 amps at 208–240V, as seen in Fannon's FP-10000 model. At higher voltages like 480V, amperage drops significantly. Always verify the unit's nameplate rating and ensure your electrical supply and wiring are rated appropriately for continuous-duty operation at that current draw.

Fannon Products' 10KW infrared systems are available in 208–240V as standard configurations. Additional voltage options including 277V, 480V, and 575V are also available to accommodate a wide range of facility electrical systems. Custom voltage configurations can be engineered upon request for specialized industrial installations.

Yes. Fannon Products designs and manufactures custom infrared heating systems to meet specific application requirements. Custom heated lengths, wattages, voltage configurations, and ink pattern widths are all available upon request. Contact Fannon's technical team at sales@fannonir.com or 810-794-2000 to discuss your custom system needs.

Fannon infrared systems include a safety interlock circuit and an emergency stop pushbutton as standard features. The systems also offer 0–100% output adjustment for precise control. Cool-to-the-touch drying modules reduce operator burn risk, and optional automatic power adjustment via tachometer allows for real-time process control.

The patented 24K gold reflector in Fannon's infrared systems directs and focuses virtually 100% of infrared energy precisely at the target surface. This eliminates wasted radiant energy, enables faster process speeds at lower electrical consumption, and keeps surrounding equipment and belts cooler — extending equipment life and improving overall process efficiency.
