Introduction
We built this replacement lamp to be a perfect fit for the SIG Blomax 6 inside your Sidel Matrix blow molder. The whole point? Simple plug-and-play. It lines up perfectly with the original specs, so you get the exact same heat and rock-solid performance without having to tweak or rework your machine.
Power, Voltage, and Dimensions: The Nitty-Gritty
Here’s the thing—this lamp matches the original down to the last detail. The wattage and voltage deliver the same heat density your PET preforms need. And the tube length and diameter? They slide right into the existing reflector and mounting setup. No guesswork here. It’s a straight copy of the original thermal load and physical footprint, so your heating zone stays right where it should be.
Material & Design: Built to Last
Inside, you’ve got a halogen-filled quartz tube that handles the heat swings like a champ. It’s tough enough for constant heating and cooling, day after day. That internal halogen cycle keeps the output steady over time, so you won’t see the light fade like you do with standard IR tubes. And the R7s connector? It’s made for high heat and stays tight even when things get shaky. It carries the current without wiggling loose, and it makes the wiring quick and painless when you’re out there on the machine floor.
How It Performs in PET Blow Molding
When you’re blowing PET bottles, that preform needs the right temperature—hot enough to stretch, but not so hot it scorches. This lamp nails the same heating curve as the original SIG Blomax 6, so you get consistent wall thickness and bottle strength, every time. Installation is a breeze. Same mounting points, same wiring layout. Just swap it in. One thing to keep in mind: the high heat density means your machine’s cooling system needs to be in good shape. If the area around the lamp gets too hot, it can shorten the lamp’s life.
Straight Swap, Same Reliability
We built this to be an exact replacement—same specs, same behavior, same peace of mind.
