Introduction

So, your SIG Blomax line keeps chewing through tubes. It’s frustrating, right? You replace them, and a few weeks later, you’re back to square one. The answer isn’t just another standard tube. We built a different kind of fix: a structurally reinforced, high-intensity NIR halogen tube. It’s a true drop-in replacement, engineered to last longer and handle the brutal thermal and mechanical stress that wipes out standard lamps on those high-speed PET lines.

Here’s the thing about high-intensity NIR heating—it’s all about precision. These tubes run at high voltage, typically 400V, to deliver the wattage you need for rapid PET heating. The active heating length is 300mm, which concentrates all that power into a tight space. That’s how you get the heat density to soften preforms fast, without dragging out the heating zone. This is the only way to keep up with high-output blowing. But, and this is important, it also means the lamp and its surroundings run hotter. So, plan your machine’s cooling and airflow accordingly. You’ve got to protect the reflector and the components right next to it from overheating.
