High-Intensity Mercury UV Tube: Power, Design, and Real-World Use
Here’s the thing about this lamp—it’s not trying to be everything to everyone. We built it for one reason: to throw intense heat exactly where you need it, when you need it. This is a direct-heat workhorse, pure and simple.
What Makes It Tick
Under the hood, it runs at 400V and pulls 2500W, with a 300mm arc length. That combo is all about packing serious power into a tight space. The 400V rating keeps things stable, even on a busy industrial line. And that 2500W? It delivers the kind of heat flux that handles the tough jobs without breaking a sweat. The 300mm arc gives you a precise heating zone, so you can focus the heat where it matters and leave everything else alone.
Built to Take the Heat
We wrapped the tube in quartz because it can handle the shock of rapid on-off cycling and still let the UV through. Inside, a halogen fill gas keeps the arc steady and extends the life of the filament, so you get consistent performance over time. The R7s double-ended connector is a practical choice—it gives you solid contact and holds everything in place, so swapping it in is straightforward. And the inner coating? It helps focus the energy where you want it, no more, no less.
Where It Shines
You’ll find this tube right in the thick of things—PET blowing, curing lines, heat-shrink tunnels. The focused heat profile helps you cut down cycle times and keeps your process consistent, run after run. Just one heads-up: with 2500W of density, you’ll want a cooling setup that’s up to the task. Keep that in mind when you’re planning your setup. We built this lamp to show up and get the job done. Wire it up, and it just works. **A quick reminder:**Before you install it, double-check your mounting space and make sure it’s compatible with your fixture.
