SIDEL 2002406262 Lamp: The Fix for KHS Blow-Molding Heat Headaches
Here’s the thing about KHS blow-molding machines: when the heat isn’t right, nothing else is. You know the feeling—PET preforms stretching all wrong, scrap piling up, and the whole line just feeling off. That’s exactly why we built the SIDEL 2002406262 lamp. It slides right in as a direct replacement for your KHS machine, and it tackles the core issue head-on: uneven heating. We focused on one goal—giving you a steady, repeatable heat profile that matches the original specs. No fuss, no drama. Just consistent performance.
Power, Voltage, and the Right Fit
This lamp runs at 2500W and 400V. That 400V rating isn’t random—it’s what most industrial blow-molding lines run on, with three-phase power. Running at this voltage keeps the current draw lower on your wiring, which cuts down on voltage drop and keeps the heating element stable, even when the machine is working hard. And the 300mm active length? It’s engineered to match the exact heating zone in your KHS system. That tight fit means the heat lands exactly where it needs to, without hot or cold spots creeping into places they shouldn’t.
Built to Last: Halogen, Quartz, and a Solid Connection
Inside, you’ve got a shortwave halogen element, tucked inside a high-purity quartz tube. The halogen cycle keeps the filament temperature steady, so the output stays consistent over the lamp’s life. And the quartz? It handles the shock of rapid on/off cycles without cracking under pressure. Then there’s the R7s bi-pin connector—the standard on these machines. It gives you a secure, low-resistance connection that can handle the high current. The big win here is that it’s a true drop-in replacement. You wire it up and you’re done. No messing with the socket or mounting hardware.
On the Floor: Consistent Heat, Fewer Headaches
On a KHS blow-molding line, even heating isn’t just nice to have—it’s essential. This lamp creates a uniform thermal field across the preform, so the material flows predictably during the stretch. The payoff? Fewer scrapped bottles and a noticeable bump in overall quality. Now, there’s one thing to keep in mind. A 2500W lamp packs a lot of heat into a small space. That means your machine’s cooling system needs to be up to the task. If the cooling is properly sized, you get rock-solid performance. If it’s undersized, things run hotter than they should. We built this lamp tough enough to handle the heat, but the system has to keep pace. When everything lines up, you get the uptime and repeatability you need to keep the line moving.
