Infrared heater in an industrial environment

IR heater covers

Infrared heating is widely used in industrial units because of its direct emission of heat, cost-effectiveness and energy efficiency, but heating elements still need protection from mechanical stresses and contaminants in demanding industrial environments. SCHOTT NEXTREMA® glass-ceramic is highly heat resistant and offers broad transmission in the IR range, as well as customization options for use as a protective cover to provide a safer working environment.
