When the blow molder is down because a heating lamp took a dive, every idle minute is bleeding money. You need a replacement that drops in, hits the right temperature, and gets the line moving again—without the OEM price tag. We make a China-built Krones heater bulb engineered to match OEM specs for PET stretch blow molding. It’s built to run reliably, period. These are quartz infrared emitters with short-wave elements, so the heat is fast and focused exactly where preforms need it. Specs are matched to the heating tunnel reality: 1200W to 1800W, 220V or 230V, standard R7s connectors, and the exact arc length. They’re calibrated for Krones lines like Matrix and Contiform, and they also fit HyPET and other systems. That translates to repeatable preform temperature profiles, stable output, and bottle quality you can count on. On the floor, it means fewer temperature swings, less scrap, and energy use that stays predictable. Output holds steady over long runs, so you get cycle-to-cycle consistency—expect 5,000+ hours with minimal drop-off. Maintenance is straightforward, too. The direct-fit design means you can swap lamps without re-tuning the heating zone. Installation is simple, but a couple of details matter. Verify voltage and connector type against your machine model before you replace anything. Keep the reflector clean and aligned—even a small misalignment shifts the hot zone and can throw off bottle wall distribution. If you’re running very high speeds, make sure the lamp’s response time matches the duty cycle so you don’t get transient underheating. Get those details right, and the heating stays dependable—keeping production up and costs down.
