On the line, annealing is where you either make scrap or save it. Underperforming heat means thermal stress, bow, or hairline cracks that show up hours later. And when the heater goes down, the downtime to replace it hurts just as much. We built our glassware annealing heater to keep the thermal field stable and keep the line moving. Here’s what matters under the hood: the core is high-purity quartz with a tuned short-wave element. That gives you fast response and tight temperature uniformity across the load, so the lehr profile stays put even when throughput spikes. We cover standard voltages and footprints, with termination options that match common OEM fixtures. The output is repeatable, and the body holds up in the high-temperature atmosphere of the annealing lehr. In glass processing, you need a predictable soak and a controlled ramp. This heater delivers that, which means fewer rejects from stress fractures and less rework from inconsistent annealing. Energy use drops because the element hits setpoint quickly and holds it without overshoot. On high-volume runs, that translates to more parts per shift, fewer temperature swings, and a lehr that behaves like a set process—not a guess. Drop-in replacement is the point, but lehrs and conveyors vary. Measure mounting clearance and lead routing before ordering; we supply adapter plates and brackets for major glass machinery brands. Expect a brief break-in on the first 50 hours to stabilize emissivity and confirm your setpoints. Keep the reflector clean and inspect the seals on the quartz sheath—those small steps prevent hot spots and stretch heater life.
