Introduction
We built this replacement lamp to slide right into your Sidel blowing machines and Husky HyPET high-speed lines. Its one job? Hit the PET preform with focused, serious heat. The whole point is simple: pack a ton of heating power into a small space, so the preform is perfectly ready for the stretch blow step—without scorching the surface.
The Power Behind the Heat
This lamp is all about high-power density. It runs at 400V, pulls 2500W, and concentrates all that energy across a 300mm tube. That power-to-length ratio is exactly what you need to drive heat through the PET wall fast. On a fast-moving HyPET line, the preform is racing past. You need a lamp that hits target temperature in milliseconds, not seconds, just to keep up. But here’s the catch: that kind of power creates serious heat. Make sure your machine’s cooling system is up to the task. If it isn’t, the lamp and nearby parts will run too hot, and you’ll shorten their lifespan.
What It’s Made Of—And Why It Matters
At the heart is a quartz tube, chosen because it can handle extreme heat and rapid heating and cooling, shift after shift. Inside, the halogen cycle keeps the filament stable, so the light—and the heating—stays consistent. No dimming. No surprises. And the connector? It’s an R7s, the industry standard for this size. That means installation is a straight slide-in and lock. No tricky wiring. No special tools. We designed it as a true drop-in replacement, so you can swap out a burnt unit and get the line running again without downtime.
What It Feels Like on the Floor
When you wire this lamp into a Husky HyPET system, the heating profile penetrates quickly and evenly. That gives you a solid, stable process window, which means fewer weak spots and more consistent bottle walls. For the engineer on the floor, that translates to fewer rejects and a machine that keeps pace at high speed without fuss. This isn’t some flashy upgrade. It’s a spec-matched component built to meet the thermal demands of the original equipment. It delivers the heat penetration modern PET blow molding needs, and it’s tough enough for 24/7 production. So you can focus on output, not babysitting heaters.
