A Better Way to Handle Your Sidel SBO 20 Series 2 Lamps

Let’s be honest: nobody likes spending their shift rewiring an oven or fighting with lamp holders that don’t quite fit. When you’re running PET blow molding, you just need the heat to be right. Period. That’s why we built our infrared lamps to be a true drop-in replacement for the Sidel SBO 20 Series 2. They match the footprint and electrical load exactly. You just swap them out and get back to work. Getting the heat where it belongs The SBO 20 Series 2 is picky. It needs a ton of heat to soften those preforms fast, but if you aren’t careful, you’ll bake the neck. We use a high-voltage setup to push the filament, which keeps the heating zone tight and concentrated. You get short-wave output that punches through the PET material much faster. One quick tip, though: if you’re running these at max wattage, your cooling fans are going to work harder. If your vents are clogged with dust, your lamps will burn out faster. Keep them clean, and they’ll last. No more forcing things to fit We used heavy-wall quartz glass for the housing. Why? Because the last thing you want is a tube bowing or warping under high heat. Depending on how old your machine is, we’ve got the standard R7s or Sk15 connectors ready to go. We obsessed over the dimensions so the lamp just… slides in. It should feel snug. If there’s a gap in the connector, you’ll get arcing. That’s a fast track to a burnt-out socket and a dead lamp. Does it work with other gear? Pretty much. The physics of blow molding are mostly the same across the board. By nailing the wavelength and the tube length, these lamps work with about 95% of the PET equipment out there. You get the same radiation pattern as the original parts, so your heat zones stay balanced. The best part? You don’t have to spend an hour recalibrating your oven timers after you swap a lamp. It just works.
