Introduction
We built this replacement lamp to be a perfect fit for the Reggiani Teridi industrial heating system. It’s a high-output infrared lamp, designed for the serious heat demands of textile manufacturing. The whole point is simple: give you steady, controllable heat right where you need it on the line, without wasting energy or burning out too soon.
The Heat, Without the Wait
Here’s the thing—this lamp runs on shortwave infrared. That means it hits peak output fast and sends the heat straight into the target, instead of warming up the whole room. On a Reggiani Teridi, that translates to quicker line speeds and temperatures that stay consistent across the fabric. It runs at 400V, so the power supply can deliver strong current without straining the wiring. The wattage is matched to the machine’s thermal load, so the heat density stays predictable and repeatable. And the length is built to match the original footprint, so it drops in clean—no fuss, no rework.
What It’s Made Of—and Why It Matters
The tube uses a quartz envelope, because quartz can handle rapid heating and cooling without cracking under high temperatures. The halogen fill keeps the filament performance steady, so output stays consistent over the life of the lamp. The coating on the tube? Not just for looks. It tunes the infrared spectrum to match how textiles absorb heat, which boosts efficiency and lowers the risk of scorching the surface. The R7s connector keeps mounting straightforward and the electrical contact solid. It’s a standard industrial interface, so you can wire it in without changing the socket or the machine.
On the Floor, Where It Counts
On the shop floor, this setup is built to take a beating. It heats up fast, so you spend less time waiting during shift changes. The compact size fits into tight spots on the Teridi line, and the output stays stable, helping you keep process temperatures within tolerance. Now, a heads-up: with this much heat density, you need proper cooling and thermal management around the lamp zone. Plan your airflow and shielding accordingly. For engineers running Reggiani equipment, this lamp is a practical, spec-compliant way to keep the line moving with fewer unplanned stops.
