Mining operations are often located in harsh and remote environments where maintaining optimal working conditions is crucial. SBH Solutions offers a comprehensive range of short-wave infrared heating products tailored for the mining and industrial sectors.

These products are designed to address the unique space heating challenges of the industry, including mining, by improving efficiency, safety, and comfort in areas such as mining camp outdoor relaxation areas, and depot workstations. Short-wave infrared heating can also be used for process heating, such as spot heating valves and warming grease cabinets to keep productivity on target.

We offer a comprehensive range of Italian-made short-wave infrared heaters specifically engineered for mining applications. These heaters deliver highly efficient and targeted spot heating, converting up to 92% of electrical energy into radiant warmth—making them one of the most energy-efficient heating solutions available. Unlike traditional heating systems, short-wave infrared technology heats only where it’s needed, reducing energy waste and ensuring optimal comfort and performance in challenging mining environments.

 
• Mining Camps & Living Quarters: Ensure worker comfort in remote, harsh conditions by providing fast, reliable heating for indoor living spaces.
• Workstations: Maintain ideal temperatures at operator workstations to enhance productivity and reduce cold-related downtime.
• Maintenance Depots: Create a warm, controlled environment for the repair and upkeep of essential mining tools and machinery.
• Outdoor Work Areas: Supply instant, localised heat in exposed environments to support continuous outdoor operations.
• Hazardous and High IP-Rated Areas: Safely heat spaces where high Ingress Protection (IP) ratings are essential, or in ATEX Zones 2 and 22 requiring certified solutions.
• Equipment Enclosures: Stabilise internal temperatures of enclosures housing grease pumping systems or other sensitive equipment.
• Valve Heating: Apply direct heat to critical valves to prevent freezing, clogging, or operational failure in cold conditions.

Short-wave infrared heating technology allows you to concentrate heat only in the areas that need it. It will instantly form a ‘comfortable heat zone’, resilient to disruptions caused by air currents or open doors, making it an ideal solution to replace gas-fired blowers or other electric elements. This means heat does not drift away, even in windy conditions, maintaining a consistently warm environment. This innovative approach effectively addresses the issue of heat loss and wasted energy, ensuring consistent warmth in designated areas while cutting energy bills and reducing company carbon emissions.

The unique design of our short wave infrared heaters provides wider coverage, with a 2000W heater capable of heating up to 20m². This ensures extensive warmth with the least possible energy consumption.

Our heaters reach full power within one second of being switched on, eliminating wasted energy on pre-heating. This instant heat delivery is perfect for the dynamic needs of mining operations.

Equipped with InFraCaLoR halogen infrared heater elements that have up to 7000 hours of life (up to 5000 hours when behind glass), our heaters promise low maintenance costs and long-lasting performance. Lamps can be replaced to ensure heaters last for many years.

All our short-wave infrared heaters are designed by the global leader, European manufacturer Star Progetti. All products have undergone necessary tests to verify safety and reliability.

Short-wave infrared heating offers mining operations a powerful solution to overcome environmental challenges, reduce energy costs, and improve worker safety and comfort. Whether it’s heating outdoor workstations, protecting sensitive equipment, or maintaining warm living quarters, SBH Solutions delivers industry-proven, efficient heating technology that works when and where it’s needed.
