Stop Overpaying for Krones Contiform Parts

Let’s be honest: keeping a Krones Contiform line running is expensive. The OEM parts, especially the heating lamps, can eat through your maintenance budget faster than you’d like. We figured out a way to help you bring that cost per bottle down without messing with your heat distribution.

Getting the heat right

The whole Contiform system is basically a game of precision. You need exactly the right amount of infrared energy to soften those PET preforms. We build our lamps to match your machine’s voltage and wattage perfectly. We use high-wattage quartz tubes so the preform hits that glass transition temperature quickly. One quick tip: if you’re tempted to crank up the wattage to shave a few seconds off your cycle time, just make sure your cooling blow-air can handle the extra heat. Otherwise, you’re looking at deformed preforms.

Getting Your Sidel Matrix Lamps Right

Here is the problem with swapping out OEM lamps in a Sidel Matrix blower: the temperature ramp-up. If the wattage or the light spectrum is even a tiny bit off, your preforms come out uneven. It’s a headache you don’t need. That’s why we build our lamps to match the original specs exactly. No guessing.

It’s all about the heat map

We do more than just check the voltage and wattage. We actually map out how the heat spreads across the entire length of the tube. See, if the filament winding is off by a fraction, you get hot spots. Those little spikes in heat ruin your consistency. We make sure the power draw lines up perfectly with your machine’s power supply, too. You won’t have to worry about tripping breakers or frying your wiring just because you changed a bulb.

Getting Your Sidel Techne and Matrix Blow Molders Back Up to Speed

When you’re replacing heating lamps in a PET blow molding oven, you don’t want a “project.” You just want them to work. We’ve spent a lot of time making sure our replacement lamps fit the entire Sidel lineup—from those old-school SBO units to the newer Matrix series. The goal was simple: you shouldn’t have to touch your wiring or mess around with the oven chassis just to get a new light in there. The electrical side of things Here’s the thing about lamps: if the fit isn’t perfect, the whole process falls apart. We build our tubes to match the original OEM voltage and wattage exactly. Why? Because if you throw a lamp with the wrong wattage into a Matrix oven, you’re asking for trouble. You’ll end up with uneven wall thickness in your bottles, or worse, a blown fuse. We obsess over the ohms and the wattage so the heat stays consistent across the entire bank. It just works. Quartz and the “click” We use high-purity quartz glass because blow molding is brutal on equipment. The rapid heating and cooling can crack cheap glass. Installation is a breeze, too. We use the standard R7s or SK15 connectors, so you can swap them out fast during a changeover. And we keep the length specs incredibly tight—down to a fraction of a millimeter. If a tube is too loose, it rattles. If it rattles, it vibrates. And if it vibrates, it burns out way too soon. A quick heads-up on heat Now, high-output shortwave lamps are great for fast ramp-ups when you’re pushing for high-speed production. But there’s a catch. The more wattage you pack into every inch, the more heat leaks into the oven frame. This is where your cooling blowers come in. If your vents are clogged with dust or grime, even the most expensive lamp in the world is going to overheat and die early. Keep those blowers clean. At the end of the day, these are direct replacements. You pull the old tube out, slide the new one in, and you’re back in business. No adapters. No rewiring. Just a perfect fit for your Sidel gear.

Giving Your Old PET Blow Molding Machine a Second Life

If you’re running a small or mid-sized brand, you probably have a blow molding machine that’s seen better days. It works, but it’s slow. It just can’t keep up with the pace you need. Now, your first instinct might be to drop a huge chunk of change on a brand-new machine. But honestly? You probably don’t have to. Often, the secret is just swapping out your old heating elements for updated infrared (IR) lamps. It’s a simple tweak that can seriously bump up your output.
