Infrared Lamps
Victory IR lamps are naturally a key component of heater fittings, but they are also important in many industrial manufacturing processes, such as PET manufacture, curing of coatings, forming of plastics, annealing, plastic welding, and print drying. In these applications, infrared heat sources are far more efficient than convection ovens or contact heating.
Efficiency is achieved by matching the wavelength of the infrared heater to the absorption characteristics of the material and broadly IR heat sources are categorised Short, Medium or Long wave. Additionally, Victory lamps have a range of finishes to suit their application.
The cross reference chart below compares some common Victory lamp specifications with other manufacturers.
