Let’s talk about the 1200mm Red Ruby Lamp
If you’re running a large-scale curing or drying line, you know the struggle of getting heat to hit everything evenly. That’s exactly why we built this 1500W red ruby lamp. It’s long, it’s powerful, and it’s designed to cover a wide area without leaving those annoying cold spots that ruin a batch. The nitty-gritty on power At 1200mm, you’ve got a lot of ground to cover. We used a tungsten filament inside a quartz envelope because, frankly, it’s the only way to handle the kind of heat this thing puts out. One quick tip: make sure your ventilation is on point. If the heat just sits around the end caps, you’re going to kill the lamp’s lifespan way faster than you should. Why the red color? The “red ruby” look isn’t just to make the factory look cool. It’s a specific quartz coating that filters the light. It does two things. First, it stops your operators from being blinded by a harsh glare. Second, it focuses the infrared energy right where it needs to go, so your materials soak up the heat more efficiently. Plus, we use halogen technology. This keeps the tube from turning black over time by recycling the tungsten back onto the filament. It means your heat output stays steady for thousands of hours. Getting it into your workflow You’ll see these things everywhere—PET bottle blowing, automotive paint shops, plastic welding. They usually just slide right into place where your old, clunky heaters used to be. But here is the thing: since these are 1200mm long, your mounting brackets need to be rock solid. If the tube sags even a little, the gap between the lamp and your part changes. That’s how you end up with warped pieces and wasted material. And if you want these to last? Pair them with a PID controller. It stops the filaments from taking a beating during rapid power cycles.
