Sidel 2210214801 Infrared Lamp: Keeping Your Krones Contiform Costs in Check
Running a Krones Contiform line is a beautiful thing—until the heating components start eating your maintenance budget. We get it. That’s why we built the Sidel 2210214801 infrared lamp. It’s a direct, performance-matched alternative to the OEM unit, designed to drop right into your existing setup. No rewiring. No recalibration. Just swap it in and get back to work.
Power, Voltage, and the Right Fit
This lamp is a 2500W, 400V shortwave infrared powerhouse. That high voltage isn’t an accident—it’s what gets the quartz tube screaming to full temperature in seconds. The payoff? A much faster warm-up on the blower, so your line isn’t sitting idle. And the size? At 300mm long and 10mm in diameter, it’s built for those tight, focused heating zones. It delivers intense, localized heat exactly where the preform needs it, without wasting energy all over the machine.
Built to Last, Built to Work
Inside, a halogen-cycle filament does the heavy lifting. It pulls tungsten deposits off the quartz wall and sends them back to the filament, keeping the output stable over time. The quartz envelope itself is coated to focus the energy into the shortwave infrared band—the sweet spot for PET. The result? Your preforms heat quickly and evenly, every single time. And the connector? It’s a standard R7s bi-pin that matches the sockets on your Krones Contiform. It’s a straight mechanical and electrical fit, so you wire it up just like you always have.
Keeping Your Line Moving
On a Krones Contiform blow molder, this lamp is a true drop-in replacement. The payoff is predictable heating and consistent bottle quality. It hits operating temperature fast, so you can keep the line running at full speed, day after day. It’s engineered to handle the constant thermal cycling of 24/7 production. Now, here’s the thing about running 2500W at 400V—it generates serious heat. Your machine’s cooling system needs to be in good shape to handle the extra load. If the cooling is undersized, you might see a shorter lamp life. But match this lamp to a well-maintained machine, and you’ll cut down on those unplanned stops and the money spent on spare parts.
