Introduction
We built this replacement infrared lamp for one reason: to fix the headaches of SIG Blomax 6 operators. If you’ve ever dealt with that shaky heating on your SIPA rotary machine—the kind that comes from power that’s just slightly off—you know what a mess it makes. This lamp is a straight swap. It matches the original power perfectly, so you get the stability you’ve been missing.
The Tech, Without the Fluff
Here’s the heart of it. This lamp runs at 400V and delivers a steady 2500W. That’s not a suggestion—that’s exactly what the Blomax 6 needs to keep its thermal load in line with the machine’s control logic. It’s also 300mm long, which is the standard size. So it slips right into the existing housing—no modifications, no guesswork. No more voltage dips. No more power swings. Just consistent heat.
What It’s Made Of
Inside, you’ve got a high-purity quartz tube with a halogen filament, designed to throw out shortwave infrared. That means it heats up fast and reacts instantly when the power changes. You get control—real control—over the temperature. The quartz is coated to focus the energy exactly where it matters: on those PET preforms. And the R7s connector? It’s the standard for a reason. It holds a solid, high-current connection that can take the heat and the constant vibration of a rotary machine.
What It Feels Like on the Line
On a SIPA rotary machine, consistent heating isn’t a luxury—it’s what keeps production moving. When the lamp matches the power 100%, those heating swings disappear. That means fewer quality defects and less downtime. You wire it up the same way as the original, and the system just runs. No re-tuning. No second-guessing. Yes, 2500W is serious power, so your cooling setup needs to be up to the task. But when everything’s balanced, you get stable temperatures, quicker cycles, and far fewer burnouts. This isn’t a shot in the dark. It’s a practical fix, built to do one job—and do it right.
