The Carbon-Fiber Quartz Heating Lamp: Built for PET Work

Here’s the thing about PET blowing: you need heat that shows up the second you need it, and then behaves itself, cycle after cycle. That’s exactly why we built the carbon-fiber quartz heating lamp. It’s a shortwave infrared lamp, designed to snap on fast and give you tight control—because on the line, downtime is the enemy.

What it brings to the shop floor

Rated at 400V and 2500W, this lamp packs serious heat into a small footprint. The 300mm tube keeps the heat focused right where the PET parison needs it, so you’re not wasting energy. It hits temperature quickly. That means less waiting around and more consistent output. But with that kind of power, your machine has to be ready for it—good cooling and wiring are a must. You’ll feel the heat load around the lamp holder and reflector, so plan accordingly.

Built tough, built smart

Inside, you’ve got a carbon-fiber core tucked inside a quartz envelope. Quartz is the kind of material that shrugs off rapid temperature swings without cracking, and it stays clear for strong infrared transmission. A halogen fill gas helps keep the filament stable and pushes burn life further by cutting down on hot-spot runaway. And the R7s double-ended connector? It locks in clean, lines up straight, and makes the lamp a simple drop-in replacement in standard fixtures.

Why it matters on the line

In PET blowing, heat needs to be fast, repeatable, and predictable. This lamp delivers—hitting the parison fast, shortening warm-up, and smoothing out output. It’s tougher than standard wire elements when it comes to shock and vibration. Still, it needs proper airflow and thermal shielding. Match your power supply and cooling to the 2500W load, and it keeps performing reliably in continuous production.
