Ceramic IR Heat Emitters

The most efficient infrared emitters on the market

Our reliable and efficient infrared ceramic heating elements & ceramic infrared emitters (IR heat emitters) produce long wave infrared radiation. These robust ceramic infrared heating elements are often used in thermoforming heaters, packaging, outdoor heaters and saunas for leisure centers. Furthermore, they are useful for curing and have a variety of drying applications.

Ceramic heaters are the most efficient infrared emitters on the market because they operate best at temperatures ranging from 300 to 700 degrees Celsius (575- 1292 degrees Fahrenheit). They produce infrared wave lengths in the 2-10 micron range. Many materials and plastics absorb infrared best in this range.

We stock a wide range of ceramic heating elements including ceramic trough elements such as Full Trough Elements (FTE), Half Trough Elements (HTE) and Quarter Trough Elements (QTE). In addition, we have ceramic hollow elements and ceramic infrared (IR) heat emitters. Providing heat control solutions since 1972, WECO International is a leading provider of ceramic elements and industrial infrared heaters.

Ceramic Elements

Trough Elements

Useful wavelength range 2 to 10 μm
Trough Elements (FTE/HTE/QTE) are industry standard curved ceramic infrared heaters. These solid cast elements are used in a wide range of industrial, commercial and domestic applications. They consist of a high-temperature FeCrAL resistance alloy embedded in a specially formulated ceramic body. This allows operating temperatures up to 750°C and a maximum power of 1000W (FTE Model Only).

Hollow Elements

Useful wavelength range 2 to 10 μm
Ceramic Hollow Elements (SFEH, FFEH, HFEH, QFEH) are industry standard ceramic emitters. These are used in a wide range of industrial, commercial and domestic applications. Hollow constructed ceramic elements have the advantage of a shorter heat up time and increased energy efficiency. These products consist of a high-temperature FeCrAl resistance alloy which is embedded in a specially formulated lightweight hollow cast ceramic body. The body is then filled with a high density insulating material. This design results in a significant reduction in rear heat loss and increased radiant output from the front. As a result of this construction, operating temperatures can reach up to 750°C with a maximum power of 800W (FFEH and SFEH).
