If you&rsquo;re in PET blowing or thermoforming, you already know that the heating oven is usually the biggest power hog in the building. Most people think switching to better infrared (IR) lamps is just some &ldquo;fancy upgrade.&rdquo; It&rsquo;s not. It&rsquo;s actually about one thing: getting your cycle times down and your electricity bill lower.</p> <h2 id="the-secret-is-in-the-heat-density">The secret is in the heat density</h2> <p>We build these lamps to push out short-wave radiation. Why? Because short-wave IR sinks deeper into the plastic, and it does it fast. When you have high wattage density, you hit that glass transition temperature in a snap. That means your conveyor can move faster. You&rsquo;re pushing more preforms through the oven every single hour. But here&rsquo;s the catch. High-wattage tubes create some seriously intense heat. If your airflow is off, you&rsquo;ll end up scorching your material. You&rsquo;ve got to be smart about where you position the lamps to keep those hot spots away.</p>
