Maltec-H Ceramic Infrared Heater | Heating Elements

Ceramic infrared heat elements are efficient and robust heating elements, which provide long wave infrared radiation. They are used among others for curing and drying processes. They are available in various standard sizes and power ratings. This modular approach allows arrangement of elements in a heating array providing an even heat profile over the whole target area. Elements in the array can be mounted at different heights to cater for uneven surfaces. Ceramic infrared emitters can be supplied with integrated thermocouple, allowing precise measurement and control of heating power.

The ceramic infrared heat elements are manufactured by molding a resistance wire into the ceramic substance. Ceramic elements operate in the temperature of 300°C to 700°C (572°F – 1292°F) producing infrared wavelengths in the 2 – 10-micron range. Most plastics and many other materials absorb infrared best in this range, which makes the ceramic heater the most popular infrared radiant emitter on the market.  A range of aluminized steel reflectors are also available to ensure the maximum amount of infrared radiation is reflected forward to the target area.
