Ceramic Radiant Elements

Reliable and High-Efficiency Solutions for Industrial Infrared Heating

Ceramic radiant elements are a proven and reliable choice for industrial infrared heating applications where stable performance, long service life, and uniform heat distribution are essential. As one of the most widely used infrared radiator technologies, ceramic heating elements are trusted across a broad spectrum of industrial and engineering processes.

These robust elements are particularly suitable for thermoforming, packaging, annealing, paint curing, printing, and a wide range of drying processes. By emitting long-wave infrared radiation, they ensure gentle yet effective heat transfer, minimizing thermal stress on materials while maintaining consistent process results.

Each ceramic infrared heating element is designed to operate at temperatures of up to 780 °C and emits infrared radiation within the 2–10 micron wavelength range, making it ideal for heating surfaces and materials efficiently. Standard electrical configurations include 230 V and 400 V, with power ratings typically ranging from 60 W to 1200 W, allowing easy integration into both small-scale and high-capacity systems.

The long-wave ceramic infrared elements manufactured by Caldor Heat Engineering SRL are available in trough, hollow, and flat designs, enabling optimal adaptation to different machine layouts and heating requirements. All elements are CE marked , ensuring full compliance with international safety, quality, and reliability standards.

Designed for continuous industrial operation, Caldor’s ceramic radiant elements deliver efficient infrared heating with predictable performance, making them a dependable solution for modern production environments.

Why Infrared Heating?
Infrared heating transfers energy directly into the material, without unnecessary heat loss to the surrounding air or machine structures. This results in:
  • Faster heat-up times
  • Higher energy efficiency
  • Clean, combustion-free operation
  • Improved process control and repeatability
  • Reduced overall energy consumption

These characteristics make infrared heating an ideal technology for modern, sustainable, and high-performance industrial manufacturing processes.
