Heidelberg IR Lamp M6.170.3001/01 M6.170.3001 Drystar 500

Prevent sheet blocking, reduce ink set-off, and accelerate production cycle turnaround with the Heidelberg Infrared (IR) Drying Lamp, part number M6.170.3001/01 (identified standard variation: M6.170.3001). Engineered specifically for Heidelberg Drystar 500 delivery dryer cassettes, this medium/short-wave quartz infrared emitter delivers instantaneous, penetrating thermal energy to cure printing inks and water-based coatings at full rated press speeds.

Failing, clouded, or worn IR lamps lead to incomplete ink cure, frequent sheet marking in the delivery pile, increased powder usage, and costly finishing delays. Replacing aging emitters with this factory-specification infrared tube restores peak drying efficiency, optimizes electrical energy consumption, and integrates seamlessly with the press dryer control cabinet.
