On the floor, an oil bottle blow molder that’s chasing temperature in the heating tunnel doesn’t just slow the line. It starts throwing scrap and makes wall thickness look like a rollercoaster. We built our infrared heating lamps to hit the preform temperature profile you need, cycle after cycle, without playing whack-a-mole with variance. What matters under the hood Our heating lamps run short-wave infrared quartz emitters—fast response, tight control in the preform heating zone. We match OEM power and voltage specs, use standard R7s connectors, and set the arc length so the lamp seats clean in the reflector assembly. Output stays stable past 5,000 hours, and the quartz tube takes the thermal shock of rapid on/off cycling without bleeding peak intensity. Why this works on oil bottles You’re running high-output oil bottles with heavy parison shift and a demanding stretch ratio. The lamp’s energy density keeps the heating curve flat across the neck and body, so material distribution stays even and pinholes drop off. That means fewer rejects, more consistent bottle weight, and cycle speeds that don’t yo-yo. Energy use falls because the emitter hits setpoint fast and holds it with minimal drift. What to watch on install and in operation Install is straightforward, but alignment is everything. A lamp that’s not seated right, or reflectors in rough shape, will skew heating and show up as drift in bottle quality. These lamps drop in on Matrix, Contiform, and HyPET blow molding platforms, but confirm your exact model year and heating tunnel layout. Reflector geometry and power bus can vary by trim. Run the lamp outside the specified voltage window, and you shorten life and flatten control.
