INFRA-RED LAMP

V ERSATILE

HEAT LAMP
WITH DEEP PENETRATION
SICCATHERM® infra-red
lamps are highly effective
heat lamps of the highest
quality. Most of their radiated energy is thermal energy
in the short-wave infra-red
range. The proportion of
visible radiation (light) is low.
A parabolic reflector focuses
the radiation into a highintensity beam. This form
ofdirect radiation means
that the energy has
deep penetration and very
little heat is dissipated
in the surrounding air.
SICCATHERM® lamps can
be installed easily and at
minimal cost. They are fully
functional as soon as they
are switched on and will last
an extremely long time.
They are therefore “warmly”
recommended as economical heat sources for a wide
variety of applications inagriculture, commerce and
industry.

THERE IS LIGHT. AND THERE IS OSRAM.

IN AGRICULTURE

SICCATHERM®
lamps are available with
clear or frosted bulbs and
with specially pigmented
red filters to reduce the proportion of visible radiation
even further and increase
the infra-red component.
Different beam angles are
available tosuit different
applications and to ensure
that the correct
dosage is applied.

SICCATHERM® PAR
lamps have hard-glass
bulbs, optimised reflectors
and newly developed front
shields for even radiation
distribution from a compact
source.

SICCATHERM® infra-red
lamps with their sun-like
thermal radiation create
ideal conditions for rearing
animals. The warming radiation acts directly onthe
bodies of the animals; only
very little heat is given off
to the atmosphere and the
climate within the stall will
hardly be affected. What’s
more, fresh air can be
circulated through the stalls
without any risk to young
animals.
The lamp has such excellent
penetration that the infra-red
radiation warms not only the
surface of the skin directly
exposed to the lamp but theunderlying tissue and muscle layers. As a result, the
blood and lymph vessels expand, thermal regulation
throughout the organism is
improved and a greater
amount of oxygenated blood
is supplied to the cells.
The animals grow faster
and have greater resistance
to infection and illness.
SICCATHERM® lamps have
been used successfully for
many years in animal husbandry, particularly for
• poultry• pigs
• calves and foals and
• puppies.

SICCATHERM® lamps are
also ideal for drying agricultural produce such as grain,
fruit and vegetables. Here,
too, the deep penetration
of the lamps offers considerable benefits because the
thermal radiation penetrates
the surface and warms the
inside of the produce. The
drying process is much more
intensive and is therefore
completed inless time.

I N COMMERCE AND
INDUSTRY

Because of their special
drying and heating properties, SICCATHERM®
lamps are widely used in
industry. The infra-red
radiation penetrates
material and is absorbed.
There is virtually no heat
dissipated to the surrounding air and the entire
material is heated, not
just the surface.

SICCATHERM

The drying process is so
efficient that it is equivalent
to enlarging the evaporation
area several times over.
Typical applications for
SICCATHERM® infra-red
lamps in commerce and
industry include:
• material drying,
particularly paints
and dyes
• pasteurisation and drying
in the food industry
• burn-in processes and
distillation
• vulcanisation and
carbonisation and
•polymerisation.

IN THE HOME

The pleasant deep-down
heat of infra-red radiation
that warms the body directly and evenly, rather than
the surrounding air, is very
popular in bathrooms.
SICCATHERM® lamps,
installed in groups, provide
soothing heat at the flick
of a switch.
