You need that perfect heat gradient to stop the glass from stressing out and shattering. We use shortwave infrared lamps to handle the heavy lifting, but there&rsquo;s a catch: the power grid. Here&rsquo;s the reality. If you take a preheater built for 110V and plug it into a 480V industrial line, it’s gone. Poof. Burned out instantly.</p>
