Heating Glass Over 2 Meters: The Hard Part

When you’re running a glass tunnel kiln, consistency is everything. But once you hit that 2-meter mark, standard off-the-shelf IR lamps just stop working for you. You can’t just line up a few basic bulbs and hope for the best. That’s why we build custom, long-format heating units. We pair high-output lamps with aluminum reflectors that are actually engineered to handle the distance.

Killing the “Cold Spots”

Here is the real headache with long setups: the gaps. If your lamps aren’t perfectly aligned, you get cold spots right at the junctions. That’s a nightmare for glass. We fix this by designing the reflectors to either overlap or butt-joint perfectly. No gaps. No radiation leaks. We use high-purity aluminum because it’s the best way to force the heat down into the glass instead of letting it bleed away into your ceiling.
