Everything moves fast. When you&rsquo;re cranking out thousands of bottles an hour, every second counts. The real headache? The start-up. Waiting for those infrared lamps to actually hit the right temperature is a drag, and it usually means a mountain of scrap bottles you have to purge before the line is actually dialed in.</p> <h2 id="cutting-the-lag">Cutting the Lag</h2> <p>We wanted to fix that. We built these replacement lamps to kill the lag between hitting the &ldquo;on&rdquo; switch and getting full heat. In a rotary setup, the preform doesn&rsquo;t hang around—it flies through the oven. If your lamp is too bulky or slow to warm up, the PET doesn&rsquo;t hit that sweet spot (the glass transition temperature) evenly. To solve this, we tweaked the tungsten filament geometry and the thickness of the quartz. The result? The lamps hit operating temp way faster. It means fewer &ldquo;cold&rdquo; bottles in the bin and a much smoother start to your shift.</p>
