Medium infrared
The mid-infrared between 2 and 4µm is produced by emitters of low inertia and of robust constitution. These transmitters, characterized by a long lifespan, are suitable for relatively superficial heating such as automotive paint baking, but also for screen printing, for all drying applications, reactivation of the glue, heating, etc.

Quartz lamps
Mid-infrared lamps are fast-response, being able to be turned on and off in seconds . They are used for drying applications of thin products in the plastic, textile, automotive industries, etc.
Main characteristics :
- Wound tungsten filament heated to high temperature ( 1800 K ), inserted in a quartz tube and bathed in halogen gas.
