Infrared Heater Replacement Tubes

To change an infrared heater tube, first power down and allow the unit to cool completely. Disconnect the electrical terminals, carefully remove the spent tube from its end supports, and insert the new replacement tube ensuring correct orientation. Reconnect terminals and test operation. Always consult your equipment manual or contact Fannon's technical support at 810-794-2000 for model-specific guidance.

The required wattage depends on your specific equipment model and application. Fannon Products offers replacement lamps ranging from 250W to over 10,000W. Reference your existing lamp's markings or equipment manual for wattage, voltage, and length specifications. Fannon's technical support team can also help identify the correct replacement based on your dryer or heater model.

Fannon Products manufactures replacement lamps compatible with virtually all major brands including Heidelberg, M&R flash dryers, HP 3D printers, Tempco, Anderson Thermal, DryStar, Eltosch Grafix, Helios, Italquartz, Heraeus, and Emitted Energy systems. Lamps are made to exact OEM specifications for direct drop-in replacement across short-wave, medium-wave, and fast medium-wave configurations.

Fannon infrared replacement tubes are rated for 5,000+ hours of operation under normal conditions. Factors affecting lamp life include operating voltage, duty cycle, thermal shock exposure, and handling. Medium-wave lamps used in screen printing and inkjet drying applications consistently achieve full rated life when installed correctly and operated within specified electrical parameters.

Fannon replacement infrared tubes are available in a wide range of voltages including 115V, 120V, 175V, 208V, 230V, 240V, 277V, 400V, 415V, 480V, 575V, and 600V. This broad voltage compatibility ensures a correct replacement can be sourced for virtually any industrial, commercial, or OEM printing equipment without requiring electrical system modifications.

Short-wave infrared tubes operate at higher temperatures with instant response, making them ideal for high-speed drying and curing of coatings. Medium-wave tubes operate at lower temperatures and are less color-sensitive, making them preferred for screen printing with plastisol inks and light or dark substrates. Fast medium-wave tubes combine medium-wave energy with near-instant heat-up times under one second.
