Stop the Burn-Outs on Your Sidel SBO 20 Series 2

If you’re running SIG Blomax or Sidel SBO lines, you know the headache of tube burn-outs. It’s frustrating. You’re in the middle of a run, and suddenly a lamp goes, usually because the quartz just couldn’t handle the thermal stress. We got tired of seeing that happen, so we rebuilt our replacement lamps for the SBO 20 Series 2 to actually hold up under pressure. The Power Side of Things These are high-intensity shortwave infrared lamps. We kept the wattage and voltage exactly where the OEM wants them, so your heating profile stays consistent. Why does that matter? Because PET needs to hit that glass transition temperature fast. If the heat is off even a little, you end up with uneven wall thickness in your bottles. Nobody wants that. Why These Actually Last Here’s the secret: we use heavy-wall quartz glass. Standard lamps have a habit of thinning out during the drawing process. Once that happens, they bow under the heat and eventually just snap. Our reinforced tubes handle those expansion cycles without breaking a sweat. Plus, we added specialized coatings. Instead of wasting energy heating up your machine frame, the energy is pushed directly into the PET. It’s a win-win—your bottles get the heat they need, and your cooling system doesn’t have to work nearly as hard. Getting Them Running These are simple drop-in replacements. You use your existing connectors, slide them into the oven housing, and you’re good to go. No modifications, no fuss. One quick heads-up: because the glass is stronger, your initial warm-up might feel a tiny bit different. You might need to tweak your oven timing by a few seconds to nail that perfect temperature. And a bit of honest advice? Check your cooling blowers. If your filters are clogged with dust, no lamp in the world is going to survive. Give them a good clean before you swap in the new tubes, and you’ll get the most life out of them.

Fixing those annoying hot spots in your Sidel SBO 20 Series 1

Ever pull a bottle off the line and see those thin walls or that weird, cloudy “pearlescence”? It’s frustrating. Usually, it comes down to one thing: your heating isn’t even. In KHS and Sidel machines, this usually happens because the lamps start to drift in wattage or the filaments aren’t centered. Once that heat field gets messy, your bottles suffer. We built our replacement lamps specifically to stop that from happening. The science (without the boring part) We didn’t just make a generic bulb. These are tuned to the exact voltage and wattage the OEM intended. We use high-purity quartz glass, which is key. It lets the short-wave infrared radiation punch right through the PET preform instead of just heating up the oven walls. Here is the trick: the power density is dialed in so the preform hits that glass transition temperature fast. Some people try to fix old, dying lamps by cranking up the wattage. Don’t do that. You’ll just end up scorching your plastic. Built to actually last You know how some lamps get that “blackened” look inside the glass? That’s tungsten evaporating and sticking to the walls, which kills your heat output. We use a halogen cycle to stop that from happening. And we kept the installation dead simple. They use standard R7s or Sk15 connectors, so they just drop right in. No rewiring, no headaches. We also tightened up the seals on the end-caps. Cheap tubes leak gas when they get hot and cold repeatedly, and that’s usually why they pop. Ours don’t. Getting them running on your floor Once these are in, you’ll notice the temperature is steady from the neck all the way down to the base. It just feels more consistent. One quick tip: these lamps put out a lot of intense heat. Make sure your oven ventilation is clean and free of gunk. If the airflow is blocked, that heat has nowhere to go but back into your sockets, and that’s a great way to fry your wiring. Keep it clear, and these things will hum along just fine.
