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 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.
Do you build heating systems?
Yes. Ceramicx designs and builds custom infrared heating systems and bespoke infrared ovens tailored to your exact process, material, and production requirements. Whether you need a heating solution integrated into an existing manufacturing line or a fully standalone system, our engineering team develops a solution that delivers reliable, efficient performance.
We use shortwave, mediumwave, and longwave infrared heating technologies, carefully selecting the optimum wavelength and power output for your specific application. By matching the infrared heating system to your materials and process, we maximize energy efficiency, improve product quality, and deliver consistent heating performance.
From initial design and engineering through to manufacture and system integration, Ceramicx provides custom industrial heating solutions that help manufacturers optimize production, reduce energy consumption, and achieve repeatable process results.
