Infrared heating modules for glass

On the line, glass doesn’t wait for anyone. If your heating zone can’t hit setpoint fast and hold it evenly across the pane, you pay for it—stress fractures, optical distortion, and cycle targets that slip away. We built infrared heating modules to run where convection gives up: tempering, bending, lamination pre-press, and coating drying—any place where heat delivery is the bottleneck. What matters under the hood We run short-wave quartz emitters tuned to how glass absorbs heat, so you get quick response and tight thermal control. Typical ramp rates hit 10–15°C/s, which cuts warm-up time in the heating section. Across the active zone, temperature uniformity stays within ±3°C—less thermal stress, and better control of bow and warp. Power density runs 30–60 kW/m², sized to match glass thickness and line speed without overshoot. The modules come in standard voltages and footprints, with terminals and shielding that can take industrial duty cycles. Here’s why this works where it counts. In tempering and bending, the physics are the same either way: heat the surface fast, then quench, without letting the center lag or the edges starve. These modules deliver that repeatable profile, so you can run thick and thin glazing with fewer setup changes. In EVA/SGP/PVB lamination, uniform heat keeps bubbles and voids out and shortens press cycles. In insulating glass sealing and coating drying, you can push line speeds faster while cutting gas or electric demand. The result is fewer rejects, stable quality, and throughput that doesn’t swing wildly. A few practical notes. These modules integrate with most glass processing lines, but mounting and reflector geometry have to match your oven zone and glass path. With coated or low-e products, you’ll tune for emissivity to keep uniformity where you need it. And don’t skip the basics: keep the quartz elements clean and calibrate the temperature sensors. Heat delivery is only as good as the control loop behind it.
