Tube Heaters with Low Fuel Costs for Commercial and Industrial Applications

Our premierSchwank radiant tube heater is designed for indoor use and can be utilized in sports complexes, arenas and other such applications that require efficient infrared radiant heating.

These Schwank infrared tube heaters provide quiet and clean heating solutions and have rightfully earned its title as the indoor radiant heater with the best efficiency rating in North America when compared to other tube heaters in its class.

Conventional indoor gas heaters are inefficient because they are designed to first warm the air, which immediately rises and can potentially increase ceiling temperatures to an unreasonable 120°F [50°C] or more; even though the ground level temperature may still be uncomfortably cold.

Schwank’s infrared indoor heaters convert up to half the gas it uses into efficient radiant heat that is capable of heating people [and objects] comfortably right at ground level, regardless of whether they are working in a manufacturing cell, picking product in a distribution facility, working on vehicle service, or sitting in a restaurant patio or a cold arena.
