Products - Light Sources

Short-wave & Near-infrared (NIR) Heating Emitters

Short-wave infrared (SWIR) and near-infrared (NIR) heating elements from DR. FISCHER deliver powerful thermal radiation with extremely fast response times. Thanks to their ability to transfer energy directly into the product without significantly heating the surrounding air, they ensure high energy efficiency and excellent process control.

Their compact construction and flexible installation options make them ideal for modernization of existing machines as well as new industrial systems.
Whether in drying, curing, forming, or heating processes our SWIR/NIR emitters enable higher throughput, better temperature uniformity, and improved product quality.

IR reflectors
Reflectivity Durability Cost Radiation orientation Main advantages Main drawbacks
Gold ☆☆☆☆☆ Bad €€€€€ Specular - Best reflectivity
- No thermal inertia
- Low temperature resistance (<600°C)
- High cost
White ceramic ☆☆☆ Very good €€ Diffuse - Good price-performance ratio - Reflectivity 10 to 15% lower than gold
MLRI ☆☆☆☆ Very good €€€ Diffuse - Reflectivity between the white ceramic and gold - Slightly more expensive and slightly less stable than white ceramic
LRP ☆☆☆☆ Excellent €€€€ Specular - Reflectivity close to gold
- Auto-cleaning
- Longer lifespan than all other reflectors
- Expensive to start with (but no need to replace it with the lamp)
- Thermal inertia
Highly reflective aluminum ☆☆☆ Good €€€ Specular or diffuse (depends of the finish) - Can be combined with other reflectors - Added piece → takes more space
