A high power infrared tube is one of the most energy-dense, responsive ways to deliver heat to industrial products—in drying, curing, forming, bonding, sintering, preheating, and many other operations. This guide distills the engineering criteria you need to choose the right tube style (short-wave quartz halogen, fast-medium-wave quartz, or carbon medium-wave), size it correctly, integrate it with controls and safety, and tune it for throughput and quality. The selection logic below reflects established industrial best practices and consensus engineering references.
