On the blow molding floor, infrared heating isn’t a nice-to-have—it’s what separates a line that hits cycle time from one that struggles with under-stretched preforms. When a lamp starts to dim or the heating tunnel gets inconsistent, you feel it fast: fewer bottles per hour and output that starts to wobble. The Quartz Lamp Cleaning Kit is about putting control back where it belongs—straight into emitter performance. What matters, technically We built the kit around quartz short-wave infrared emitters that match the OEM parameters 1:1 for mainstream blow molders—Sidel, Krones, SIPA, Husky, and others. The specs aren’t seat-of-the-pants: 1200–1800 W per lamp, 220–240 V or 100–120 V configurations, quartz tube lengths matched to the original envelope, and R7s connectors that drop straight into the existing sockets. Emissivity stays high through the heating window, so preform surfaces absorb energy predictably and the heating curve repeats shot after shot. Here’s why that matters on your line. Clean, correctly matched lamps deliver faster thermal response and tighter temperature uniformity across the preform wall. In practice, you see fewer rejects from insufficient stretch, more consistent bottle weight, and output that holds steady at the same cycle time. Because it’s a direct-fit replacement, you don’t have to rework the heating tunnel or chase new setpoints—install, verify, and run. A few shop-floor notes. Installation is straightforward, but quartz is brittle and needs respect. No skin oils on the tube, no twisting under load, and hit the correct torque on the end caps. Before swapping, double-check voltage and connector orientation against your machine’s wiring. And keep the reflectors clean and aligned—even a perfect lamp will underperform if the reflector is dirty or out of position.
