Husky HyPET SK15 Heating Lamp: The Direct Fix for Your KHS Blow Molder
If your KHS blow molder is struggling to heat PET evenly, here’s a reality check: the machine itself isn’t always the problem. Often, it’s just the lamp inside that’s falling short. So we built the Husky HyPET SK15 heating lamp. It’s a direct, engineered replacement for KHS systems, designed to bring back that steady, even heat right where you need it most: the preform zone.
Power, Voltage, and Fit: Built to Match
This lamp was made for the real demands of a production blow molder. It runs at 400V and pulls 2500W, giving you the concentrated heat you need to warm PET fast. The tube is 300mm long, which lines up perfectly with the heating window in KHS machines. No bracket swaps. No re-layout. It just drops in. That tight fit keeps the heat focused where it should be, instead of drifting into other parts of the machine.
The Details That Matter: Halogen, Coating, and a Solid Connection
Inside, you’ve got a halogen-filled quartz tube. It keeps output stable over time, so you won’t get that gradual drop that shows up as cold spots after a few thousand hours. The tube also has a reflective coating that pushes infrared energy forward. That means more consistent heat across the preform surface. And the SK15 connector? It’s not an afterthought. It locks in place, handles high current, and makes the whole thing a true plug-and-play install. No rewiring. No custom mounts.
What It Feels Like on the Floor
On a KHS blow molder, the HyPET SK15 just fits. It tackles uneven heating at the source. With high-density output, directional coating, and a geometry that makes sense, you get a more even thermal field. That translates to fewer rejects from uneven stretching. And because it swaps in fast, downtime takes a hit. Less time messing around. More time making good parts.
One Thing to Keep in Mind
2500W at 400V means serious heat density. So your machine’s cooling and ventilation need to be up to spec. If the cooling path is too small, ambient temps climb, and component life gets cut short. But when the lamp matches the machine, you get stable heating you can rely on, shift after shift.
