Quartz Tube Heaters

Short-wave quartz tube heaters operate at higher filament temperatures (up to 4,100°F color temperature) with truly instant response, making them ideal for fast-cycling applications like automotive coating and inkjet drying. Medium-wave heaters operate at lower temperatures and are less color-sensitive, making them preferred for screen printing with plastisol inks and applications requiring gentler, more penetrating heat.

Fannon Products quartz tube heaters are rated for 5,000+ hours of operation. Proper installation, correct voltage matching, and operating in the recommended orientation (horizontal or vertical as specified) help maximize lamp life. Replacement lamps are kept in stock for fast 1–2 day shipping to minimize production downtime.

Fannon quartz tube heaters are available from 250W to over 21,900W, covering virtually any industrial process requirement. Voltage options include 115V, 120V, 208V, 230V, 240V, 277V, 400V, 415V, 480V, 575V, and 600V. Custom lengths, wattages, and voltage combinations can be manufactured to exact specifications upon request.

Fannon Products' quartz tube heaters are UL Listed, meeting Underwriters Laboratories safety standards for infrared lamps. They are engineered to operate within specified voltage and orientation guidelines—proper installation, correct voltage matching, and following the recommended horizontal or vertical operating orientation all contribute to safe, reliable performance. Their instant on/off response also allows precise control, reducing the risk of overheating target materials.

Yes. Fannon Products manufactures direct replacement quartz tube heaters compatible with major OEM equipment including Heidelberg Speedmaster printing presses, M&R flash dryers, and inkjet dryer systems from Cogent/Research, Iamsco, Kirk Rudy, and RSI. Lamps are made to exact OEM specifications and are typically held in stock for immediate shipment.

Fannon quartz tube heaters are available with three reflector options: a patented 24K gold reflector (Goldenrod) that saves 23.5% energy versus standard lamps by directing virtually 100% of infrared energy at the target, a high-temperature white oxide reflector for diffuse heating, or clear quartz with no reflector for omnidirectional emission.

Quartz tube heaters serve a broad range of industries including automotive (primer, color coat, powder coat curing), printing and screen printing (ink drying, silkscreening), plastics (forming, welding, softening), food processing (baking, dehydrating, pasteurizing), electronics (reflow soldering), textiles (web drying, finishing), glass-ceramics (safety glass heating, mirror drying), and agricultural applications (brooding, space heating).
