Getting Your Sidel and SIG Blomax 6 Lamps Right

We built our replacement lamps to work across the whole Sidel family. Whether you’re still running those old-school SBO units or you’ve moved up to the Matrix series, these will fit. For the SIG Blomax 6 specifically, it’s all about the heat. You need that PET preform to hit the glass transition temperature perfectly—hot enough to shape, but not so hot that you’re scorching the plastic. The fit has to be spot on. If the lamp doesn’t match the original footprint, you’re in for a headache. We make sure the length and the connectors are an exact match for the Sidel gear. Why? Because nobody wants to spend their afternoon hacking away at an oven chassis just to get a wire to reach. And a word of caution: don’t mess with the voltage or wattage. If it’s even a little bit off from the original specs, you’re looking at a blown power supply or annoying cold spots in your heating zone. It’s just not worth the risk. The science part (kept simple) These lamps use shortwave infrared to punch through the PET wall fast. To handle that kind of heat, we use high-purity quartz glass. We also added a specific coating to the tube. It pushes the heat forward into the preform instead of letting it bleed backward into the oven wall. It keeps the housing from overheating, which keeps everything running smoother. Installing them without the stress The best part? You can swap these into any Sidel-compatible oven without digging into your machine settings. We obsessed over the mechanical tolerances so they just slide into the sockets. No forcing, no stressing the quartz. But here is the thing you need to watch out for. If you crank up the wattage to shave a few seconds off your cycle times, you’re putting a lot more pressure on your cooling blowers. If you’re running at peak output, double-check that your airflow is actually clear. And honestly? Dust is your biggest enemy. A dirty reflector will kill your efficiency way faster than the lamp actually wearing out. Next time you change a lamp, take a minute to give the reflectors a good scrub. It makes a world of difference in how evenly your heat hits.
