Getting Your Wide-Format Low-E Glass Preheating Right

If you’re trying to preheat Low-E glass that’s wider than 3 meters, you’ve probably realized that standard, off-the-shelf lamps just don’t do the job. You end up with cold spots, uneven heating, and a lot of frustration. That’s why we build custom medium-wave infrared (MWIR) units. We focus on making sure the heat is dead-even across the entire piece of glass, no matter how wide it is.

Dealing with that 3-Meter Stretch

Scaling a heating element up to over 3 meters is tricky. You can’t just “stretch” a lamp and hope for the best. If you do, you’ll run into voltage drops and thermal expansion issues that’ll kill your equipment. We spend a lot of time dialing in the wattage and voltage. The goal is simple: the heat density at the very first centimeter should be exactly the same as it is at the very last. We balance the electrical load across the whole tube so the ends don’t burn out prematurely. Just a heads-up—make sure your power supply can actually handle the total amperage. These long-run units pull a lot of power, and the last thing you want is to keep tripping breakers in the middle of a shift.
