Heatecx Limited
The IXSHFS Series Vacuum Ceramic Infrared Heater represents the pinnacle of industrial heating technology, designed to deliver exceptional performance in Long Wave and Far Infrared emission. This high-performance heater is manufactured through an innovative hollow casting molding process, where an Embedded Nicrom Heater is housed within a ceramic body, and the interior is filled with a high-density insulating material. This unique construction minimizes heat transfer to the back of the heater, concentrating radiant energy towards the target. The result is greater energy efficiency, a significant reduction in preheating times, and superior capability for uniform and deep heating of materials. The IXSHFS vacuum ceramic infrared heaters are the ideal solution for processes demanding maximum thermal efficiency and precise energy control.
The IXSHFS heaters are distinguished by their advanced design, which incorporates high-density internal insulation, reducing heat flow towards the rear of the element by up to 25% compared to traditional ceramic heaters. This feature not only improves energy efficiency but also protects surrounding components from excessive heat. Like other ceramic infrared emitters, these heaters use an Embedded Nicrom Heater to generate Long Wave and Far Infrared heat, optimizing absorption by the material to be heated. They are compatible with an Integrated Thermocouple (Type K or J) for exact temperature control and fast response. With a maximum surface temperature of 900°C and a power range from 125W to 1000W, the IXSHFS models are perfect for critical applications in various industries. Electrical connections are protected with Ceramic Beads to ensure safe and durable insulation.
The IXSHFS vacuum ceramic infrared heaters are ideal for applications requiring high energy efficiency, rapid heating, and superior thermal management. Their main uses include:
Plastics Industry: High-speed thermoforming, coating curing, and plastic drying, where efficiency and speed are crucial.
Glass Industry: Glass preheating, tempering, and annealing, benefiting from the high temperature and Far Infrared emission.
Metallurgical Industry: Metal heat treatments, mold drying, and part preheating, leveraging the heat penetration capability.
Industrial Drying: Fast drying of paints, varnishes, adhesives, and other coatings in manufacturing processes, where reduced preheating time is advantageous.
