Stop Wrestling with Single Lamps
If you’ve ever bought single infrared lamps, you know the drill. You hand them to your technicians, and suddenly, they’re spending half their day fighting with brackets and wiring sockets. Then, once it’s all set up, you realize the heat is all over the place—some spots are scorching, others are barely warm. It’s a headache you don’t need. That’s why we stopped selling just the bulbs and started building pre-assembled heating modules. We bend them to fit the actual shape of a wine glass, so the hard work is done before the module even hits your floor.
The Problem with Straight Lines
Wine glasses aren’t flat. They’ve got those tricky curves that make heating a nightmare. When you use a straight lamp, you get hot spots and cold zones. That creates internal stress in the glass, and that’s exactly how you end up with breakage. We solve this by using precision-bent quartz tubes. They mirror the profile of the glass, meaning the heat hits the surface head-on, everywhere. You get a steady, uniform soak across the bowl and the stem. No guessing games.
The Nitty-Gritty
We use short-wave halogen tech because it reacts fast. When you need heat, you get it immediately. Because the lamps are locked into a rigid module, the distance between the heater and the glass stays exactly where it should be. This high power density means your cycle times drop, which is great for your bottom line. Just a heads-up: make sure your power supply and cooling fans can handle the total load. You don’t want to risk burning out your wiring during a peak run.
Just Drop It In
Instead of sourcing a dozen different parts, you get one package. We handle the housing, the wiring, and the insulation for you. It’s basically a drop-in replacement. You bolt it into your lehr or oven, plug in the main connector, and you’re live. No more tweaking brackets on the fly or wasting hours on manual fitting. Your downtime during maintenance practically vanishes. The only thing to keep in mind? These modules take up a bit more room than a bare lamp. Just double-check your internal clearances before you order to make sure everything fits snugly.
