Industrial Infrared Oven Mounting Solutions
Ceramicx supplies high-performance industrial infrared oven mounting solutions designed for the secure installation and optimal operation of ceramic, quartz, tungsten, and halogen infrared heating elements. Our range of technical mounting systems and accessories is engineered to improve heat distribution, maximise infrared energy output, and support efficient installation in industrial heating applications. Fully compatible with the complete range of Ceramicx infrared emitters, our mounting solutions help deliver reliable performance, faster heat response, and long-term system durability. We also provide infrared testing equipment, including the Portable Infrared Test Stand, allowing engineers to evaluate material heating requirements and select the most suitable infrared element for their process. For specialised applications, product variations can be developed to meet specific system requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions
What’s the optimum distance to have between an infrared emitter and the target material?
The optimum distance between an infrared emitter and the target material depends on the application, the emitter type, element spacing, and the required temperature uniformity across the surface. For static applications where both the heater and target are fixed in position, a typical recommended distance is 100–200mm.
In general, the greater the distance, the greater the radiant dispersion, which in turn facilitates uniform heating. However, positioning the emitter too far away may reduce heating efficiency due to greater energy dispersion.
A shorter distance can increase the concentration of infrared energy on a smaller area, potentially creating localised high-temperature areas. The ideal mounting distance should therefore be selected based on the required heating profile, material characteristics, and application requirements.
What distance should I leave between emitters when designing a heater array?
The optimum spacing between infrared emitters in a heater array depends on the application, emitter type, and the distance between the heater and target material. We generally recommend a minimum of 5mm between ceramic emitters when arrayed inside a heater field. The same minimum spacing recommendation applies to quartz infrared emitters.
What is the recommended reflector specification for securely mounting an element?
For secure and stable mounting of an infrared heating element, we recommend using a reflector with a slot hole size of 42mm x 15mm and a reflector thickness between 0.75mm and 0.9mm.
These specifications provide the optimum balance between mechanical strength and reliable element support. Increasing the size or thickness beyond these specifications may cause the pillar to weaken or break.
