Halogen Infrared Heat Lamps for PET Machines: The Real Deal on Heat, Speed, and Control
We don’t build generic heaters. We build halogen infrared lamps that live and breathe inside PET machines. They’re tuned for one thing: delivering fast, focused heat exactly where preforms and parisons need it—no more, no less.
Power, Voltage, and Size—Built for the Job
These lamps are all about high power in a small footprint. A typical setup hits 2500W on a 400V line, so you get the heat punch you need to hit target temps fast—perfect for short-cycle blowing. The tube is 300mm long for a reason. It gives you a tight, purposeful heating zone without forcing you to rework the whole machine layout. And because it’s shortwave infrared, the response is immediate. You flip on the heat, and it’s there. No long, slow ramp-up that drags your cycle time.
Inside the Lamp: What Makes It Actually Work
Inside, you’ve got a halogen-filled filament wrapped in a quartz envelope. That combo holds up under serious filament heat and handles thermal shock without flinching. We choose the coating to shape the infrared spectrum and keep the element protected from the environment around it. Connections are practical, too. The R7s connector handles high current and installs quickly. On compatible models, we also use SK15 quick-connect fittings so swapping out a lamp can be tool-free.
Why PET Teams Choose This—And What It Really Asks For
PET work is tough on heating gear. Repeated thermal cycling is the norm, and the lamp has to keep delivering steady output. Halogen infrared gives you that speed and control, so parison heating stays consistent cycle after cycle. The compact tube also makes mounting easier. Tight spots, recessed areas, focused heating zones—none of it feels like a compromise. Now, let’s be honest: 2500W at 400V packs a lot of heat density. That means your machine’s cooling and ventilation need to be up to the task, so ambient temps stay under control and nearby parts stay safe. When the thermal setup is matched properly, you get a heating solution that’s tough, predictable, and keeps the line moving.
