Getting Your Krones Contiform Lamps Right (Without the Headache)

When you’re running a PET blowing line, the last thing you want to deal with is a replacement lamp that doesn’t quite fit or forces you to mess around with the machine’s electrical wiring. It’s a nightmare. That’s why we built our replacement lamps for the Krones Contiform 1 and 2 series to be simple drop-in replacements. No tinkering required. Why they actually fit Getting a lamp to work across 95% of blowing equipment isn’t magic. It’s just about sticking to the basics: the footprint and the electrical load. We lean heavily on the R7s and Sk15 connector standards. Why? Because it means the lamp seats perfectly in the socket. No gaps, no arcing, no guesswork. We also match the wattage and voltage exactly. Here’s the thing: if the wattage is off by even 10%, you’re going to see it in your product. You’ll get those annoying “cold spots” in the bottle shoulder or uneven heating in the preform. Not a great look. The grit behind the glass We use heavy-wall quartz glass and halogen gas fills. This pushes shortwave infrared radiation straight into the PET material, which just means the heat penetrates faster. Some of our tubes even have a special coating to keep the energy focused on the bottle rather than wasting it by heating up the oven walls. But a quick heads-up. Those high-density 400V tubes getinsanely hot. If your oven vents are clogged or your cooling fans are on their last legs, these lamps will burn out way too soon. The hardware can handle the heat, but your machine’s ventilation has to be doing its job. Real-world performance These lamps are made for the grind of 24/7 production. Since we stick to the exact dimensions of the Contiform series, you don’t have to move reflectors or rewire your harness. It’s a simple process: pull the dead tube, slide ours in, and wire it up. You’re back in business. No more waiting around for brand-specific parts while your line sits idle.
