A Halogen Lamp Built for the KRONES Contiform S: Getting the Heat Where It Counts
We built this replacement lamp with one thing in mind: keeping your Husky HyPET system and KRONES Contiform S blow molders running at top speed. It’s all about delivering a focused blast of heat that sinks deep into the preform wall—without scorching the surface. This isn’t just some off-the-shelf bulb. It’s a precision-tuned thermal component, designed to fit your machine’s exact electrical and mechanical footprint.
The Power Behind the Heat
At the heart of it is a 400V high-voltage halogen lamp. Running at that voltage in a 300mm tube lets us pack in serious wattage without needing bulky wiring. The payoff? A heat source that fires up fast and holds steady, even during rapid-fire cycles. And that 300mm length is a direct match for the Contiform S heating zone, so you get even coverage from end to end. No more cold spots that lead to rejects.
Built to Take the Heat
The tube itself is heavy-duty quartz, built to handle the shock of constant start-stop cycles. Inside, a special coating focuses the energy in the shortwave range, so the PET material absorbs it better. That’s how you get that deep, penetrating heat. Then there’s the R7s connector. It’s a tough, proven bi-pin design that snaps in solid, handles high current, and installs in seconds. No fuss. Just a connection that holds up on the shop floor, day after day.
Built for the Real World
On the Husky HyPET line, this lamp’s high heat density is exactly what you need to get deep into the preform. The material heats through fast, which keeps your cycle time tight. For the KRONES Contiform S, it’s a straight drop-in replacement that meets the original specs. Here’s the thing, though: packing this much power into a compact tube means the surrounding parts will run hotter. So just make sure your machine’s cooling and ventilation are up to speed to keep everything running smoothly.
