Getting Your PET Blowing Line Back Up and Running with 400V IR Radiators

If you’re running a PET blowing line, you know the drill. You need those shortwave IR lamps to soften the preforms just right before the stretch. If the heat is off, the whole batch is scrap. We built our 400V IR radiators to be simple. No fuss. They’re designed to slide right into Krones equipment or pretty much any other global blowing system you’ve got on the floor. The deal with voltage and heat Here’s the thing about 400V: it lets these lamps hit higher wattages without pulling so much current that you’re constantly tripping breakers. It creates a really concentrated blast of heat. For you, that means the preform walls heat up faster and the heat profile stays tight. But a word of caution—since these pack a punch, your forced-air cooling needs to be on point. If your blowers are clogged with dust, the housing will overheat and you’ll burn through your filaments way too fast. Keep them clean. The guts of the lamp We didn’t go cheap on the materials. We use heavy-wall quartz glass because thin glass bows when it gets hot, and that’s a recipe for disaster. Inside, the tungsten filament is halogen-filled. This stops the tungsten from evaporating too quickly, which lets the lamp run hotter while keeping the glass clear. As for the plugs, we stick to standard R7s or Sk15 connectors. You can just plug them into your existing sockets. No need to mess with the wiring harness or call in an electrician for a basic swap. Will it actually fit? Usually, the biggest headache is the footprint. We’ve spec’d our dimensions to match the tight tolerances of Krones and other OEM racks. Because we stick to the 400V standard and exact lengths, these fit about 95% of the machines out there. You don’t have to dive into your PLC settings or swap out power supplies. You just pull out the burnt-out tube, pop in a new one, and get back to making bottles. Simple as that.

On the blow molding floor, the heating tunnel is where the cycle gets won—or lost. When preform temperature starts drifting, you end up with inconsistent stretch, off-color, or weak necks. More often than not, the problem is an emitter that no longer lines up with the machine’s power profile, and the heat map falls apart.

What matters under the hood

We built this 400V 2500W Infrared bulb as a direct, OEM-grade replacement for the short-wave quartz emitters used in PET stretch blow molding. The 2500W rating gives you the flux needed to climb the preform temperature curve quickly, so the heating tunnel can keep up with high-cavity machines. And the 400V supply matches standard line conditions on Sidel, Krones, SIPA, Husky, SACMI, and Nissei ASB blow molders—no transformer drops, no control loops chasing their tails. You get fast thermal response, stable output over thousands of hours, and repeatable temperature control from the first lamp to the last.
