Stop Overpaying for Your SIG Blomax and Krones Contiform Lamps

If you’re running a PET blowing line, you know the drill. It’s a never-ending fight against lamps burning out and maintenance costs that just keep climbing. It gets exhausting. That’s why we made our replacement lamps for the SIG Blomax 10 and Krones Contiform series. We wanted something that hits the exact same specs as the OEM stuff, but without that “brand name” price tag that eats your budget. They’re simple drop-in replacements. No fuss. Let’s talk power. These machines need high-wattage shortwave infrared lamps to get those PET preforms soft, and they need to do it fast. We’ve tuned our tubes to handle the specific voltage loads these ovens throw at them. Because we use high voltage, we can wind the filament tighter. This gives you a more concentrated “punch” of heat. It means your preform hits the right temperature exactly when it needs to, right before it hits the blow mold. One quick tip: if your power supply is a bit jumpy, these tubes can handle the stress. But do yourself a favor and keep your contactors clean. Nobody likes arcing at the terminals. Built to last (and fit) We use heavy-wall quartz glass here. Why? Because when things get incredibly hot, cheap glass bows. Ours doesn’t. Depending on which oven generation you’re running, these come with R7s or Sk15 connectors. They just slide right into your existing sockets. You won’t have to spend your afternoon rewiring the oven. Plus, we added a special coating to the quartz. It reflects the heat inward toward the preform instead of letting it bleed out into the oven walls. It’s just smarter. The real-world trade-off Switching to our lamps is going to drop your hourly operating costs. That’s the win. But here’s the thing: high-output quartz lamps get hot. Really hot. If you’re cranking up the wattage to squeeze out more cycle speed, your cooling fans have to be 100% on point. If your ventilation is garbage, your lamps will die early, no matter who made them. And while you’re in there swapping a lamp, take a second to wipe down your reflectors. Keeping them clean is the easiest way to make sure your heat stays evenly distributed.

Getting Your SIG Blomax 6 Heating Just Right

If you’ve spent any time with KHS or SIG Blomax 6 machines, you know the headache of uneven heating. One minute everything looks fine, and the next, you’re staring at bottles with weird wall thickness or deformation. It’s frustrating. We decided to tackle those “cold spots” head-on. Our replacement infrared lamps are designed to tighten up that thermal distribution so your bottles actually come out looking the way they should. The deal with power and voltage Here is the thing: PET blowing is a balancing act. You need enough watt-density to hit that glass transition temperature, but not so much that you scorch the surface. We make sure our tubes match the original OEM voltage and wattage exactly. Why? Because if the voltage is off, you’re asking for trouble—either the lamps burn out way too early, or you just don’t get enough heat soak. Now, high-wattage lamps get the job done fast, but just keep an eye on your cooling blowers. You don’t want your oven housing overheating while the lamps are doing the heavy lifting. Better quartz, better heat We use high-purity quartz glass because it can take the hit of rapid heating and cooling without cracking. Inside, there’s a halogen cycle that stops the tungsten from evaporating, which means your light output stays steady for thousands of hours. But the real secret is in the coating. We apply specific layers that shift the infrared spectrum. It’s a simple fix for a common problem: it pushes the heat into the thickest part of the preform base without cooking the neck. Getting them installed You don’t need to call in an electrician or rewire your oven. These use standard R7s or Sk15 connectors, so they just slide right into the existing footprint. It’s a direct swap. Done. One quick heads-up, though. We’ve found that these precision lamps can actually outperform the OEM versions, but they have one big weakness:fingerprints. Quartz is sensitive to skin oils. If your team touches the glass during installation without gloves, the lamp will probably fail right at that spot within a few shifts. It sounds picky, but clean handling is a must.
