On the glass floor, heat isn’t just heat. It’s control over thermal stress, optical quality, and cycle time. Let the temperature profile drift and you’ll see edge waves, roller impressions, and lamination voids. Let the heater response lag and the line slows down. We build industrial infrared heaters for glass because the process only works when the energy delivery is repeatable and uniform. What matters, technically Our units use short-wave infrared quartz elements—fast response, high power density—matched to the emissivity of coated and clear glass. Output gets tuned by power density, wavelength, and dwell time, not by guesswork. Modules come in standard voltages and compact form factors for retrofit, with solid terminations and optional reflectors to shape the thermal field. The payoff is a predictable temperature curve across the glass, which keeps thermal shock down and stops micro-cracks before they start. Why it holds up on the line In tempering, uniform heating cuts optical distortion and keeps bow and warp inside tolerance. In bending, the rapid response shrinks the heating window and stabilizes shape repeatability. In lamination, even heat across the layup prevents EVA/SGP/PVB voids and edge slip, so yield improves. The system also trims energy use by cutting long warm-up idle and delivering heat only when the glass is present—something that matters on high-throughput lines. The practical details you can’t skip Infrared heating is line-of-sight, so spacing and aiming have to match glass width and thickness. Reflections off nearby metal can create hot spots, which is why shielding and module alignment matter. Plan for clean power and adequate cooling, and confirm compatibility with your conveyor and control interface. Set up right, these heaters run long shifts, but they still need periodic inspection of elements and connections to keep the profile where you need it.
