Better Lamps for Your Sidel SBO 10 and Krones Contiform

If you’ve spent any real time managing a PET blow molding line, you know the drill. It’s a never-ending fight against lamps burning out, and the bills from the OEM for replacements are usually enough to make you cringe. We decided to fix that. We’ve built replacement lamps specifically for Sidel SBO 10 and Krones Contiform machines. They’re designed to be simple drop-in replacements that hit the same heat density as the originals, just without the “brand name” markup. The technical side of things These lamps have to work hard. They run on high-voltage circuits to blast the kind of infrared radiation needed to heat preforms fast. We use high-wattage quartz glass so the heat actually goes where it belongs—into the PET wall—instead of just warming up your machine frame. The best part? You won’t see those annoying “pearlized” spots in the bottle shoulders. It’s just a clean, consistent heat. And don’t worry about the fit. We made sure the lengths and connectors are exact. You won’t be spending your afternoon messing with wiring or bending brackets just to get a lamp into the oven. It just fits. Built to actually last Heat is brutal on equipment. To handle the shock of rapid heating and cooling, we use heavy-wall quartz tubes. We also use a halogen cycle inside the glass to stop tungsten from clouding the tube over time. This keeps the light clear and the heat steady for thousands of hours. Now, if you’re running thicker, heavy-wall containers, you might need our coated versions. These shift the IR wavelength so the heat sinks deeper into the plastic. It stops the surface from scorching while the core is still cold. Getting them running Installation is as easy as it gets. Pull the old tube out, slide the new one in, and wire it up. Done. One quick tip, though. If you decide to crank up the wattage to squeeze out faster cycle times, keep an eye on your cooling blowers. More heat means more stress. Just double-check your oven exhaust temps so you don’t accidentally bake the surrounding electrical components.

Stop Fighting Your SIPA Rotary Blow Molder

If you’ve spent any time running a SIPA rotary machine, you know the headache of uneven wall thickness. One bottle looks great, the next is deformed. It’s frustrating. Usually, it comes down to one simple thing: your replacement lamps aren’t actually pushing the same power as the originals. That’s why we built our 2500W IR radiators. They aren’t some “universal” fit that almost works. They’re designed to be drop-in replacements that match your OEM power specs exactly.

Stop the Heat Drift in Your Sidel SBO Series 2

If you’ve ever dealt with uneven wall thickness or bottles that just look… off, you know the headache of thermal variance. On a Sidel SBO Series 2, that usually comes down to a power mismatch. Here is the reality: when you mix lamps with different wattages, or throw in a few aging filaments, your preforms don’t heat evenly. It’s a mess. We built our replacement lamps to hit the OEM power specs exactly. No guessing, no drifting. Just consistent heat. The Power Problem You need the same wattage across the whole oven to keep your heat profile stable. Simple as that. But here’s the catch: if a lamp is rated for 2500W but only puts out 2300W because the filament is cheap, that whole zone underperforms. We use high-precision tungsten so the voltage-to-wattage ratio actually stays where it belongs. This means your PET resin hits that sweet spot—the glass transition temperature—without accidentally scorching the plastic. Built for the Grind We use heavy-wall quartz glass because these things take a beating from rapid thermal cycling. They need to be tough. Plus, we use standard R7s/Sk15 connectors. You just pop them in. No rewiring, no fuss, no wasted time. The quartz is crystal clear to let the shortwave IR through, but a word of advice:**keep your reflectors spotless.**Dust is a killer. It’ll tank your efficiency way faster than the lamps will ever wear out. Real-World Tips These are made for high-cycle shops. You can swap them during your scheduled downtime and you won’t have to go messing around with your PLC heating curves. One thing to watch out for, though. If you’re running these at max output, your cooling blowers are working overtime. If those blowers are clogged with gunk, the oven gets too hot, and you’ll burn out the lamp ends early. Keep the air moving, and these lamps will take care of the rest.

Getting your Sidel Matrix heating just right

Here is the problem with swapping out OEM lamps in a Sidel Matrix blower: if the heating curve shifts even a little, you’re in trouble. When the wavelength or power density drifts, your PET preforms don’t hit that sweet spot temperature. That’s how you end up with bottles that have uneven walls or that annoying pearlescent haze. It’s a headache nobody wants. That’s exactly why we built the SBO 2002406262 replacement. We wanted to kill that variance entirely. No guessing games We don’t do “close enough” with specs. To keep your temperature ramp feeling exactly like the original, we match the voltage and wattage to the letter. Why? Because even a 5% slip in wattage changes how the preform drinks in that infrared energy. We spec these tubes to hit the exact power density your Sidel footprint needs. It means the heat sinks into the plastic at the same speed as the factory lamp. No surprises. The gear inside Since these are short-wave infrared lamps, they take a beating. We use high-purity quartz glass so they can handle the thermal shock of rapid cycling without cracking. Inside, the halogen cycle keeps the tungsten filament from evaporating too fast. It basically buys you more time between replacements. Plus, depending on your setup, we add specific coatings to bounce the heat inward. It keeps the energy focused on the preform instead of wasting it by heating up your machine frame. Just plug and play Installation is the easy part. We use standard industrial connectors, so these lamps just slide right into your existing sockets. No rewiring. No fuss. It’s a straight swap. One quick tip, though. These high-wattage tubes put out a lot of intense heat. If your oven’s cooling fans are clogged or acting up, even a perfect lamp can overheat the housing. Do your future self a favor and check your airflow before you pop these in. It’ll keep them from burning out early.
