Getting Your PET Heat Profiles Right

If your bottle walls are coming out uneven, it almost always comes down to one thing: your preform temperature is all over the place. For those of you running Sidel SBO 20 Series 1 or Krones Contiform lines, you know the infrared lamps do all the heavy lifting here. But let’s be honest—OEM replacement costs can be a gut-punch. You need a lamp that just works, fits right in, and puts out the same heat without messing up your stretch-blow process. The deal with power and heat These machines use shortwave infrared to get deep into the PET fast. We make sure our lamps hit the exact voltage and wattage your oven expects. Why does that matter? Because if the wattage is off, you get “cold spots” or, even worse, scorched resin. And if you try to cheat by using a lamp with too much power density, your cooling blowers have to fight twice as hard just to keep the bottle neck from melting. It’s a headache you don’t need. Quartz and the “fit” factor We use high-purity quartz glass because these lamps go through a brutal cycle of heating up and cooling down. Most of these use R7s or Sk15 connectors. It’s not just about making sure they plug in; it’s about the connection. A loose fit creates a hot spot that can literally melt your socket. To help things along, we add specific coatings to the quartz. This pushes the heat into the plastic where it belongs, instead of wasting it on the oven walls. The honest truth about trade-offs Look, choosing a more affordable alternative doesn’t mean everything is magic. The lifespan of these tubes depends a lot on how steady your power is. If your plant deals with constant power surges, any lamp is going to burn out faster. Before you swap out a whole bank of lamps, do yourself a favor and check your voltage regulators. It’s a quick step that ensures you actually get the full life out of the bulbs. It keeps your bottle shapes perfect and keeps your maintenance budget from disappearing.

Sidel SBO 24 Series 2 Infrared Radiator: The Tough Replacement That Finally Keeps Your SIG Blomax Running

We built the Sidel SBO 24 Series 2 infrared radiator for one reason: to stop the constant burn-outs that keep shutting down SIG Blomax lines. This isn’t just another lamp you swap in. It’s a reinforced, hardened piece of kit made to take the heat and the pounding of round-the-clock PET blowing.

Power that hits hard—without tripping over itself

The SBO 24 Series 2 runs at 400V, and that translates to 2500W of focused heating power. That’s what it takes to get the preform neck hot fast, with the right intensity, without over-driving the system. It’s 300mm long—an exact fit for the SBO 24 cavity—so the heat lands where it matters, clean and tight. No wasted energy. Just fast heat-up, and a steady profile. But here’s the catch: that power creates real heat in the machine bay. So your cooling system needs to be in good shape. When it is, everything stays calm, stable, and reliable.
