Stop the Constant Lamp Burn-outs on Your SIG Blomax Line

If you’re constantly swapping out lamps on your SIG Blomax line, you know how frustrating it is. One pops, the line stops, and suddenly you’re losing cycle time and dealing with preforms that aren’t heating evenly. It’s a headache. Usually, this happens because the tubes just can’t handle the stress of heating up and cooling down over and over again. That’s why we built our Sidel replacement lamps to be tougher.

Getting Your IR Lamps Right for Sidel Blow Molders

If you’re swapping out IR lamps in a Sidel machine, you already know it’s not as simple as just grabbing any part with the right number. It’s a balancing act. You need the plastic to soften perfectly—not too little, or the bottle won’t form, and definitely not too much, or you’re just burning your preforms. We built our lamps to be simple, drop-in replacements that work with about 95% of the gear out there. We do that by obsessing over the three things that actually matter: the power draw, the size, and the wavelength. The nitty-gritty on power and fit Most Sidel setups use high-voltage circuits to keep the heat consistent across those long tubes. We match the OEM voltage and wattage exactly—usually 230V or 400V, depending on what your power rail is doing. Why? Because if the voltage is off, your lamps will either burn out way too fast or leave you with uneven heating. To make your life easier, we use standard R7s or Sk15 connectors. You just plug them in. No rewiring, no modifying sockets, no headaches. The secret is in the glass We use high-purity quartz for the housing. It has to be quartz because these things go through brutal thermal shocks every time they cycle. But the real magic is the coating. We apply a specific layer to the tube that shifts the infrared emission. Instead of wasting heat by warming up the air around the machine, the energy goes straight into the PET. It’s much more efficient. A quick reality check for the shop floor These lamps put out a massive amount of heat. That means your cycle times drop and your output goes up. But here’s the catch: you’ve got to keep your cooling fans and reflectors spotless. If your reflectors get pitted or oxidized, that heat has nowhere to go, so it bounces right back into the lamp. That’s a shortcut to a dead tube. Keep the optics clean. Your lamps will last longer, and your bottles will look better.

Making Your PET Heaters Actually Play Nice Together

If you’re running a PET blow molding line, you already know the deal: short-wave infrared lamps do all the heavy lifting to get those preforms soft. But trying to find replacement lamps that actually fit your Sidel or Krones setup without a headache? That’s the hard part. We decided to fix that. Instead of overcomplicating things, we just focused on the basics: the electrical fit, the heat, and how the thing actually plugs in. Let’s talk power. Industrial ovens are hungry. To get that plastic to the right temperature quickly—without scorching the outside of the bottle—you need some serious muscle. We go with a 400V/2500W setup because it gives you the heat density to keep your cycle times fast. But here’s a pro tip: pushing 2500W into a small quartz tube creates a lot of stress. If your cooling blowers are choked with dust or clogged up, these lamps are going to pop way sooner than they should. Keep those fans clean. The gear inside. We use heavy-wall quartz glass and fill it with halogen gas. Why? Because it keeps the filament from evaporating too fast. It simply lasts longer. As for the connectors, we stick to the standard R7s or Sk15. We did this on purpose. We wanted these to be “grab and go” replacements. You shouldn’t have to spend your afternoon rewiring an oven or hacking away at lamp holders just to get back up and running. Real world, shop floor reality. These lamps work with about 95% of the blowing equipment out there because we mirrored the OEM dimensions exactly. Precision matters here. If a lamp is off by just a few millimeters, your heat distribution goes sideways. That’s how you end up with bottles that have uneven walls—which is a nightmare for quality control. We keep the length and pin spacing tight so that doesn’t happen. You just pop them in, tweak your PID controllers, and your heat profile stays exactly where it needs to be. Easy.

Sidel SBO 20 Series 1 infrared lamp

Fri, 19 Jun 2026 05:13:12 +0800

On a line where you’re fighting for seconds, preform heating drift will wreck the whole rhythm. The heating tunnel can’t catch up, and you start seeing neck crystallization, wall thickness swings, and rejects that show up right at the leak test. The Sidel SBO 20 Series 1 infrared lamp is built to stop that drift where it starts.

What matters under the hood

This is a short-wave infrared emitter, engineered specifically for the Sidel SBO 20 Series 1 blow molder. The quartz envelope gives you fast thermal response, and the output profile is matched to the preform heating curve—high intensity early, then a controlled fall-off as preforms move through the tunnel. Specs are aligned to the machine’s original interface: correct wattage, voltage, base/connector type, and the physical envelope. It drops in without modifying brackets or rewiring the holder.

On the blow molding line, uneven preform heating doesn’t just throttle the machine—it generates scrap and turns every shift into a chase. When the heating tunnel starts drifting, you need a lamp that hits the OEM spec and gets the temperature profile back in line, fast. What matters technically The SIDEL 2002406262 lamp is a direct-fit infrared emitter for Sidel stretch blow molders. It runs on the standard line voltage in the machine’s heating section and delivers stable short-wave output for quick, repeatable preform heating. The quartz envelope is selected for high thermal shock resistance, and the R7s connector end-type matches the existing sockets, so you swap a lamp without modifying the holder or rewiring the heating bank. Why it works in production On the floor, it’s about uptime and repeatability. This lamp restores the original heating geometry, so the edge-to-center swings that cause thickness issues and blow-out rejects stop. With consistent infrared energy, the blow molder holds the set profile tighter, cycle after cycle, which supports higher line speeds without pushing the heating zone into overshoot. You also get predictable maintenance intervals, so you plan lamp changes instead of reacting to drift. Here are the practical details Installation is straightforward, but the heating bank needs to be clean and the reflectors in good shape—coating buildup changes the energy density on the preform. Confirm voltage and polarity before swapping, and match the lamp to the exact length and end-fit. Handle the quartz with gloves; even a small surface contaminant can create a hot spot and cut service life.

Sidel SBO 1500W heater lamp

Out on the floor, a Sidel SBO blow molder running PET bottles lives and dies on repeatable heating. Let the preform temperature drift and you’ll see weak necks, crystallized shoulders, or parisons that blow out on you. The stock 1500W infrared heater lamp isn’t just a bulb—it’s the thermal anchor in the heating tunnel. What matters, technically The Sidel SBO 1500W heater lamp is a short-wave infrared halogen emitter built around a quartz tube. It’s engineered to match the SBO 1500W heating zone: 1500W at the specified voltage, the right filament geometry, and the OEM-spec R7s connector length and alignment. The quartz envelope gives you fast response, high radiant density, and stable output across the preform wall. We get consistent spectral output that keeps the heating profile repeatable, cycle after cycle. Why it fits the process In stretch blow molding, preform heating is the gate to output. This lamp restores the original, machine-matched heating curve, so you stop chasing hot and cold spots and inconsistent bottle weight. The payoff: fewer rejects, a stable stretch ratio, and line speed you can plan around. Energy use stays in line because the emitter heats on demand and cools quickly—no wasteful dwell. On 24/7 lines, the lamp’s geometry and connector fit mean less downtime when you swap it in. A few shop-floor notes Installation is straightforward, but treat the lamp carefully. Fingerprints on the quartz tube will cause hot spots and shorten life. Wipe it down with isopropyl alcohol, seat the R7s contacts firmly, and verify voltage at the terminal. Keep the reflectors clean and aligned, too. If the reflector drifts, the spot pattern shifts and the preform temperature goes off spec. You’ll get the best service life when the heating tunnel airflow and ambient temperature stay within the machine’s design window.
