Stop Overpaying for Your Blomax 6 Lamps

Running a SIG Blomax 6 or a Krones Contiform is always a bit of a balancing act. You want your cycle speeds to stay high, but you don’t want your energy bill to skyrocket. Then there’s the OEM cost. When those original lamp prices jump, it hurts. You need a replacement that just works—something that slots right in and hits the same heat profile without making your bottles look like a mess. The secret is in the heat. These machines use shortwave infrared to punch through the PET preform fast. To make that happen without the lamp warping under the heat, we use high-purity quartz glass. We’ve dialed in the tungsten filaments to the exact wattage and voltage the Blomax 6 expects. Why? Because if the wattage is off, you get those annoying “cold spots” in the base of the bottle. Nobody wants to deal with that. No rewiring, no headaches. We use standard R7s or Sk15 connectors. That means these lamps slide into your current sockets. No electricians, no new wiring, no fuss. We also treat the quartz envelope with special coatings. This pushes the heat inward toward the preform instead of letting it leak into the machine frame. It’s a small detail, but it keeps your cooling blowers from working overtime. A few things to keep in mind. Look, switching to a more affordable lamp doesn’t mean there are zero trade-offs. High-wattage lamps get you the speed you need for big production runs, but they do push your power supplies harder. Here’s a pro tip: check your electrical contacts. Make sure they’re clean and tight. A loose socket leads to arcing, and that’s the fastest way to burn out the ends of a brand-new lamp. We’ve matched these to the OEM thermal curve. You get a stable blow-up process, and your consumables budget actually stays under control. It’s a win-win.

Getting Your Sidel Matrix Lamps Right

Here is the problem with swapping out OEM lamps in a Sidel Matrix oven: if the temperature curve shifts even a little, you’re in trouble. You start seeing thin walls, weird pearlescence, or preforms that just aren’t heating evenly. It’s a headache. That’s why we spent the time making sure our replacements are a dead ringer for the originals.

The nitty-gritty on the heat

To get that heating curve exactly right, we don’t guess. We look at the relationship between the voltage, the wattage, and the actual length of the tungsten filament. If the resistance is off, the lamp won’t pull the right amount of current. Simple as that. We build our tubes to match the electrical footprint the OEM used. This means when your PLC asks for a certain power percentage, the PET preform gets the exact amount of heat it’s supposed to. No surprises.
