Ceramic Infrared Heater For Vacuum Forming

Ceramic infrared heaters are commonly used in vacuum forming due to their efficient radiant heat transfer. They provide consistent, even heating and can heat plastic sheets without direct contact.

In vacuum forming, a plastic sheet is heated until pliable, then shaped over a mold using vacuum pressure. Ceramic infrared heaters ensure uniform heat across the sheet, allowing even softening through its thickness and maintaining surface temperature. This results in high-quality, precisely formed parts.

• Medium-Wave Infrared Radiation (2–10 µm)

Perfect for heating thermoplastics as they absorb IR energy well in this wavelength range.

• Long Lasting

Made of quality ceramic materials, these are thermal shock and mechanically robust.

• Energy Efficient

Radiant heating limits heat loss and allows for faster processing.

• Fast Response

These heat up faster than metal heaters (especially with thermocouples built into the composite material).

• Customizable

Shapes (flat, hollow, or curved) and wattages for forming machines are plentiful.
