Getting Your SIG Blomax Back Up to Speed

If you’re running an older SIG Blomax 4, 6, 8, or 10, you’ve probably noticed things aren’t moving as fast as they used to. Your cycle times start to drag, and it feels like the machine is just tired. Here’s the good news: you don’t need to rip out the whole oven. Usually, the culprit is just worn-out infrared lamps. Swapping those old, faded bulbs for high-output replacements is the quickest way to get your production speed back. The truth about heat These machines use shortwave infrared to soften PET preforms. But lamps age. The filaments thin out, the heat shifts, and suddenly you aren’t getting the punch you need. We’ve built our replacement lamps to hit the exact voltage and wattage your specific cavity configuration needs. By bumping up the wattage, you get more heat hitting the plastic every second. That means you can either shorten your heating zone or just crank up the machine speed. Just a heads-up: if you go higher than the original factory specs, keep an eye on your power supply and cooling fans. If the oven housing gets too hot, you’ll just burn through your new lamps faster. Built to take a beating We use heavy-wall quartz glass because these things go through a lot of thermal shock. They heat up and cool down fast, and cheap glass just can’t handle that. We also stick to R7s or Sk15 connectors. Why? Because a loose fit is a nightmare. It creates an arc point that can literally melt your socket. Inside the tube, there’s a halogen cycle that stops the tungsten from clouding the glass. It keeps everything crystal clear. When the glass is clear, the energy actually hits the preform instead of getting trapped inside the lamp. No headaches, just a swap These are simple drop-in replacements. You won’t have to mess with the wiring or hunt for new brackets. They fit the original Blomax footprint perfectly. Once they’re in, you’ll notice a much more consistent heat profile. No more worrying about pearlescence or weird wall-thickness gaps in your bottles. It just works.
