We supply Caprock brand compatible replacement short wave and medium wave lamps for all Midlan infrared (IR) dryers, used in many small to medium sized offset presses. The company name is often spelled incorrectly as "Midland". Midlan has been out of business for quite some time, but we are still able to supply replacement lamps for their systems.

The most common Midlan standard medium wave lamps have a ceramic end cap and a metal overtab. A hooked wire protruding from the cap is used to make the electrical connection. Pairs of these lamps are typically wired in series, so if one lamp goes out, the other will go out as well.  We can make almost any Midlan medium wave lamp, but do to the manner in which Midlan operated, the technical specifications seem to vary even for lamps supplied with the same part number. The following information will be very helpful to identify correctly the lamps you need:

• Part number of the lamp
• Model number of the Midlan dryer
• Make and model of the press on which the Midlan dryer is used
• System voltage
• Diameter of the tube (usually 3/8 or 1/2 inch)
• Glass length of the lamp, excluding the end fittings
• Are the lamps wired in series or parallel (many Midlan lamps are wired in series, so that two lamps go out at a time, even if one is still good, or in some cases, three are wired together in series, so all three go out at once)
• Are there “hooks” or wires on each end of the lamp?  In some instances, one end has a wire loop connecting the two ends

There are two common short wave IR lamps used in Midlan dryers, one in 1,000 watts and one in 2,000 watts.  Some systems use a mixture of the two.  They both have rectangular ceramic block fittings, with wire leads.  The lamps are 3/8 inches in diameter and have an external white reflector.  Both are rated at 235 - 240 volts.
