Introduction
Let’s talk about the Husky HyPET line. It’s fast. But its speed hits a wall right at the heating stage. Standard IR lamps just can’t keep up. They either burn the surface of the preform or fail to heat it all the way through. It’s a frustrating bottleneck. So, we built a lamp from the ground up for this exact system. It gives you the focused heat you need for high-speed, crystal-clear PET production. No more compromises.
The Power Behind the Heat
Here’s the secret: it’s all about the power and voltage. We run this lamp at 400V, packing 2,500 watts of heat into a single 300mm tube. That kind of power density is what gives you the rapid temperature rise needed to keep pace with the HyPET’s breakneck speed. But, and this is important, that power comes with a price. It puts a real load on the machine’s electrical system. You get the deep heat penetration you need, but you have to make sure your control panel is wired to handle the 400V and the extra heat it generates.
The Quartz Advantage, Built to Last
We didn’t just pick any tube. We went with heavy-duty quartz. It’s not just about resisting thermal shock. It’s about how clearly it transmits shortwave infrared. This is key. Inside, the halogen filament is positioned to focus all that energy right where it matters: onto the preform. And the R7s connector? It’s the industry standard for a reason. It gives you a solid, two-contact connection that can handle the high current without arcing. It’s a true drop-in replacement that wires up fast and stays put.
Solving the Real Problem on the Floor
On the Husky HyPET, the preform has to heat from the inside out. Our lamps do exactly that. They deliver a focused shortwave IR output that gets deep into the PET material quickly, creating a uniform temperature from start to finish. That means you get rid of the surface scorching and ensure the preform stretches evenly during the blowing process. The payoff? A faster, more reliable process with far fewer rejected bottles. For the engineer on the floor, it means less downtime and a lamp that can take the constant beating of a 24/7 production schedule.
