Stop IR Lamp Failure: Precision Fitting in PET Blowing
Shortwave infrared heating lamps are critical for uniform preform heating in PET blowing machines, directly impacting bottle quality and production efficiency. However, a significant yet often overlooked issue leading to premature lamp failure is uneven fitting during installation. This seemingly minor oversight can cause mechanical stress, localized thermal hot spots, and electrical inconsistencies, drastically reducing lamp lifespan. The consequences extend beyond mere replacement costs, encompassing increased downtime, higher scrap rates, reduced overall equipment effectiveness, and elevated operational expenses. This blog post delves into the mechanisms behind these failures and provides practical, actionable insights for industrial professionals to implement precise installation techniques and maintenance best practices, ensuring optimal lamp performance and substantial cost savings.
