Custom Infrared Drying Lamps: Giving Your Glass Screen-Printing Line the Room to Breathe
We build custom infrared drying units, built specifically for glass screen-printing lines. The whole point? To give you all the heat you need, without stealing your entire floor space.
Power, Voltage, and Size: The Real Story
Here’s the heart of it: we pack a ton of heat into a seriously compact frame. We tailor the power to match your line speed and the ink’s needs, using high-wattage infrared sources in a short body. And by running at higher voltage, we keep the current down. That means thinner wiring, smaller components, and a much cleaner electrical setup inside the machine. The payoff? A drying section that’s shorter, but still delivers the energy you need, right where you need it.
The Build: Quartz, Coating, and Easy Swaps
We use quartz tubes because they heat up fast and can handle the shock of rapid temperature changes. No fuss. A special coating on the tube focuses the energy right where the ink wants it. This means better efficiency and less wasted heat. And on the shop floor, the details matter. We use an R7s base for a solid, standard connection. When it’s time to change a tube, it’s a quick, simple swap. No hassle.
Why It Works for Screen-Printed Glass
With screen-printed glass, the drying window is tight. The lamp has to cure the ink fast, without overheating the glass. So, we design the infrared unit as a single, integrated module. Fewer frames, fewer reflectors, fewer points to worry about. That’s how we cut the occupied length by up to 40%. Now, packing in more power does mean you need a properly sized cooling setup. It keeps everything running safely, and the machine stays cool to the touch.
