Radiant Tube

Furnace Heaters Made in India ISO 9001:2015

Radiant Tubes represent advanced high-temperature heating technology specifically engineered for indirect heating applications in demanding industrial furnace environments. These sophisticated heating elements are manufactured from premium recrystallized FeCrAl (Iron-Chromium-Aluminum) or wrought NiCr (Nickel-Chromium) alloys using state-of-the-art powder-metallurgy processes or seamless mandrel extrusion techniques, ensuring exceptional material density, structural integrity, and thermal performance. The precision manufacturing process eliminates porosity and defects, creating seamless tubes capable of withstanding extreme thermal cycling and aggressive furnace atmospheres.

Engineered for direct insertion into electric or gas-fired furnace walls, these radiant tubes provide uniform infrared heat transfer while isolating the heating elements or combustion gases from the process atmosphere. The advanced metallurgical composition ensures superior oxidation resistance, thermal shock resistance, and mechanical stability at operating temperatures up to 1,400°C. The seamless construction eliminates potential failure points while the precise dimensional control ensures optimal fit and performance in demanding industrial furnace applications.

These versatile heating solutions are available in straight lengths and fully customizable shapes including U-shaped, W-shaped, and P-shaped configurations to accommodate diverse furnace layouts and heating zone requirements. The leak-proof, corrosion-resistant design ensures reliable performance in protective atmosphere furnaces, carburizing systems, nitriding operations, and controlled atmosphere applications where contamination must be prevented. Integration capabilities enable seamless incorporation of bundle-rod heaters, cartridge heaters, or gas burner systems to maximize thermal efficiency and operational flexibility.

Advanced engineering features include precision-machined end caps and flanges with ceramic-to-metal seals for leak-tight mounting, high-temperature support plates for stable fixation, and specialized integration ports for thermocouples, heating elements, and gas flow tubes. Optional insulating seals manufactured from ceramic fiber or compressed gasket materials prevent heat loss and gas leakage while maintaining optimal thermal performance. The modular design enables easy maintenance, replacement, and upgrades without complete furnace shutdown.

As energy-efficient heating solutions for modern high-temperature industrial processes, Radiant Tubes offer superior thermal efficiency through optimized infrared radiation characteristics and minimal heat loss design. The indirect heating method provides uniform temperature distribution while protecting sensitive components from aggressive furnace atmospheres. Their exceptional durability, combined with advanced materials and precision manufacturing, ensures extended operational life and reduced maintenance costs in demanding applications including steel heat treatment, aluminum processing, galvanizing operations, and specialized metallurgical processes where reliable high-temperature performance is essential for product quality and operational efficiency.
