About Radiant Heater Elements

Radiant heater elements are replacement heater elements for radiant flat panel heaters and radiant reflective heaters. Radiant heaters are used to heat objects via radiant, usually infrared (IR), heat transfer. They are used in applications such as space heating, drying and curing, water evaporation, food processing, sterilization, material preparation, bonding and joining, and industrial manufacturing and production. Radiant reflective heaters are similar to radiant flat panel heaters, but include reflectors that require periodic maintenance. Both radiant flat panel heaters and radiant reflective heaters are ruggedly built and resistant to various levels of shock and vibration. Many radiant heaters are so precise that heat can be directed to exact locations.
