Stop the Breakage on Your SIG Blomax Lines

If you’re running SIG Blomax lines, you know the headache of tubes snapping mid-cycle. It’s usually a mix of thermal shock and those constant mechanical vibrations. Most standard IR lamps just can’t keep up. Their quartz envelopes are too fragile for that kind of rapid cycling, and they end up cracking—which means your line stops, and you’re scrambling to fix it. We got tired of seeing those unplanned shutdowns, so we built a reinforced lamp to actually handle the pressure. Getting the heat where it counts Our lamp fits right into the SIG footprint, no fuss. But we tweaked the filament geometry and voltage to make sure the heat hits exactly where the PET preform needs it. Why does that matter? Because “cold spots” are the enemy. When the heat is uneven, you get thin walls in your bottles, and that’s exactly when they burst. With these, you get a steady, consistent thermal profile across the whole zone. Built to take a beating Standard lamps are thin. They’re basically lightbulbs trying to do a heavy-duty job, and they crack under the vibration of a blowing machine. We switched to a heavy-wall quartz envelope. It’s tough. It can expand and contract a thousand times over without fracturing. We also beefed up the connectors to make sure the electrical contact is tight. No more arcing, and no more burnt-out ends like you see with the cheap stuff. The practical side of things The best part? You don’t have to touch your control cabinet or mess with your power supply. Just swap them in and go. Now, a quick heads-up: because we used reinforced quartz and pushed the heat density higher, these lamps run hotter on the surface. If your cooling fans are clogged or just aren’t cutting it, you might overheat the surrounding housing. Just keep your airflow clear. It’s a small trade-off for a line that actually stays running.

On an ADS stretch blow molder, the heating tunnel is where the cycle is won or lost. If an infrared lamp starts to drift, preforms run cold on the shoulders and hot on the body. Suddenly, you’re chasing rejects instead of protecting OEE. We build ADS-compatible infrared replacement lamps to get that original heat profile back—without guesswork. What matters, technically, is that the emitter matches the ADS tunnel geometry. Quartz tube. Short-wave halogen element. Rated 2400–3000 W at 230 V, with a stable 0.90–0.95 emissivity window. Terminals line up to the OEM connector—R7s base, 200 mm center-to-center—so it drops straight into the existing reflectors and holders. No mods. Fast thermal response gets you warmed up in under 60 seconds, and tight filament geometry keeps the heat band consistent across the preform wall. Here’s why it works in practice: when the lamp is right, preform heating repeats shot after shot. That means fewer pinholes, cleaner biaxial stretch, and less neck crystallization on heavier designs. You also see energy draw come down, because the reflector-emitter match cuts waste heat. Lamp life stretches to 5,000+ hours, with less than 5% output decay. Downtime drops, too—swap the lamp during a scheduled heat-soak window, and the line is back on spec without retuning the whole tunnel. A few things to keep straight. Match lamp wattage to the zone and the preform. Throwing in a higher-wattage lamp to chase heat will scorch thin walls and push blow pressure up. Always clean the reflector at every lamp change, and confirm the socket isn’t oxidized—high resistance at the contact creates voltage drop and uneven heating. And if your ADS line runs PET and PP, verify the emitter spectrum and temperature limits. The same lamp won’t cover both material windows.
