Among the different types of fir heaters on the market you ll find ceramic carbon incoloy and aluminum.
Far infrared ceramic emitter.
Infrared heaters emitters intek manufactures heaters panels emitters in standard physical dimensions popular in most industrial and commercial applications.
Most plastics and many other materials absorb infrared best in this range which makes the ceramic heater the most popular infrared radiant emitter on the market.

The three main types of infrared heaters are.
When ceramic compounds are heated their electrons start to move quickly generating intense heat.
These emitters give off different types and amounts of infrared light based primarily on the emissivity and surface temperature of the source.
Carbon ceramic and carbon ceramic combos.
The ceramic heater is the most efficient infrared emitters on the market because it operates best between the temperature range of 300 to 700 degrees celsius 575 1292 degrees fahrenheit producing infrared wave lengths in the 2 10 micron range.
Applications almost anywhere a non contact heat source is needed including heating curing cooking and drying though ceramic the elements are fairly rugged and are more durable than quartz and cleaning is easy with their splash proof non corrosive glazed finish which also makes them the ideal choice for use in food handling medical facilities or other antiseptic applications.
A range of aluminium clad steel reflectors are also available to ensure the maximum amount of infrared radiation is reflected forward to the target area.
Ceramic are available in 240 volt so that the load remains manageable.
Emissivity is the measure of an object s ability to emit low middle and far infrared energy with levels ranging from 0 shiny to 1 0.
Ceramic emitters work well for those who are building their own sauna.
Also custom infrared saunas are often larger so require more emitters.
Intek s custom metal fabrication shop can provide a solution for less common sizes if needed as well.
