How to use infrared heating lamps efficiently in bottle blowing machines:Reasonable layout and installationPosition optimization: Install short wave infrared heater lamp above and on both sides of the bottle preform conveying path to ensure that all parts of the bottle preform can receive uniform infrared radiation. For rotary bottle blowing machines, the position of the lamp should ensure that the bottle preform can be fully irradiated during the rotation process. For example, a row of Halogen Heater Replacement Bulbs can be installed above the entrance of the bottle preform to preheat the bottle preform; heating lamps can be installed on both sides of the bottle preform travel path to ensure that the sides and bottom of the bottle preform can also be fully heated. Angle adjustment: Adjust the irradiation angle of the industrial infrared heat lamp according to the shape and size of the bottle preform. For taller bottle preforms, the Quartz Heating Lamps can be slightly tilted to ensure the same heating effect on the bottom and top of the bottle preform. At the same time, avoid interference between the light of adjacent heating lamps so that the heat is concentrated on the bottle preform.Distance control: The distance between the heating lamp and the bottle preform is a key factor affecting the heating efficiency. Too close distance will cause local overheating of the bottle preform and deformation; too far distance will cause too long heating time, affecting production efficiency. Generally speaking, the distance can be controlled between 10 and 30 cm according to the power of the heating lamp and the material of the preform, and the optimal distance can be found through experiments and debugging. Accurate power control and adjustmentSelect the power according to the preform material: Different preform materials (such as PET, PP, etc.) have different absorption efficiencies for infrared rays, so it is necessary to select the appropriate heating lamp power according to the material characteristics. For example, PET preforms absorb infrared rays better, and relatively low-power heating lamps may be sufficient; while for PP preforms, slightly higher-power heating lamps may be required to achieve the same heating effect. At the same time, during the production process, the power can be dynamically adjusted according to the batch size and production speed of the preforms. If it is a small batch production, in order to accurately control the temperature, the power can be appropriately reduced; if it is a large-scale, high-speed production, the power can be increased to ensure production efficiency. Adopt an intelligent power adjustment system: install a power adjustment device, and automatically adjust the power of the heating lamp in combination with the data fed back by the temperature sensor. When the temperature sensor detects that the preform temperature is close to the set value, the system automatically reduces the power of the heating lamp to avoid excessive temperature; when the temperature is lower than the set value, the power is increased for heating. This allows efficient and precise heating and reduces energy waste. Use with other auxiliary equipmentCombined with ventilation system: Ventilation equipment, such as fans or ventilation ducts, is configured in the blow molding machine. During the heating process, the ventilation equipment can make the hot air flow evenly around the preform, improving the heat transfer efficiency. At the same time, after the preform is heated, the ventilation equipment can quickly take away the excess heat to prevent the preform from overheating while waiting for the blow molding process. For example, while the heating lamp is heating the preform, a low-power fan is turned on to circulate the hot air between the preforms to ensure that each preform is evenly heated.Combined with reflection device: A reflector is installed around the short wave infrared heater lamp to reflect infrared rays onto the preform and improve the utilization rate of infrared rays. The reflector can be made of highly reflective materials, such as aluminum foil or silver-plated metal plates, to refocus the scattered infrared rays onto the preform and enhance the heating effect. This can improve heating efficiency and reduce energy consumption without increasing the power of the heating lamp. Regular maintenance and optimizationCleaning the surface of the halogen ir lamps: During the use of the infrared heating lamp, impurities such as dust and plastic debris will accumulate on the surface, affecting the emission efficiency of infrared rays. Clean the surface of the heating lamp regularly (such as every week or every two weeks), and you can use a clean soft cloth or a special cleaning tool to gently wipe it. During the cleaning process, be careful to avoid damaging the lamp tube or coating of the heating lamp. Monitor and replace aging lamps: Regularly check the performance of the infrared quartz heat lamp, including luminous intensity, heating efficiency, etc. If the luminous intensity of the Quartz Infrared Heating Element is significantly weakened, the heating time is prolonged, or the Infrared Quartz Heat Lamp is damaged, replace the electric heating element heater in time. Generally speaking, depending on the frequency and intensity of use of the IR Heating Element, the service life of the lamp tube may range from thousands of hours to tens of thousands of hours. It is necessary to establish a reasonable replacement plan to ensure that the heating efficiency of the blow molding machine is always maintained at a high level.
