Better Heating Lamps for Your Krones Contiform

Let’s be honest: OEM parts for Krones Contiform machines are expensive. It feels like you’re paying a premium just for the brand name. We decided to fix that. We build replacement heating lamps that slide right into your existing setup, cutting your costs without losing an ounce of heat density. The goal is simple: get those PET preforms soft and ready to blow, fast.

Getting the Power Right

Blowing machines need a ton of heat packed into a tiny space. It’s a lot. That’s why we build our lamps to mirror the exact wattage and voltage of the original Krones arrays. Whether you’re running 230V or 400V, you get consistent, radiant heat. High-wattage tubes mean faster cycles, which means more bottles hitting the conveyor every hour. **One quick tip though:**pushing more wattage puts more stress on your cooling fans. If your vents are clogged with dust, these lamps will burn out way too soon. Keep them clean.

SIPA blowing machine heating bulb

Why the Big Players Stick With Our Infrared Heating Bulb

Here’s the truth: we make the heating bulb that SIPA and other top-tier blow molding OEMs choose as their standard. This isn’t just some off-the-shelf heat source. It’s a purpose-built, shortwave infrared halogen tube—designed from the ground up to deliver precise, repeatable heat for PET bottle preforms. When your line is running around the clock, the lamp needs to fire instantly, hold steady temperature, and handle the daily grind of heating up and cooling down. That’s exactly what our design does.

White coating IR lamp for PET blowing

On the blow molding floor, unplanned stops and uneven preform heating cost you — in scrap, missed schedules, and overtime. When the heating tunnel isn’t pulling its weight, the whole line drags, and you’re constantly chasing lamp failures and temperature swings.

What actually matters, technically

The white-coating IR lamp we use for PET blowing is a short-wave infrared emitter built around a quartz envelope and a tungsten filament. It’s engineered to match the fast response and tight control that stretch blow molding demands. The white coating is there to shape the spectral output and boost reflectance inside the heating tunnel, so you get repeatable heating across the preform wall. We spec it to the power and mounting standards most blow molders run — R7s base options included — with voltages that line up with typical machine configurations. In practice, that means quicker ramp-up, stable zone temps, and fewer hot and cold spots.
