Sidel SBO 8 Series 2 Infrared Radiator: A Straightforward Fix for Krones Contiform Costs

Let’s talk about the Sidel SBO 8 Series 2 infrared radiator. It’s built to be a direct, drop-in heat source for high-speed PET blowing lines, especially the Krones Contiform. We built it to meet the original equipment performance standards, but we had one eye on the real-world problem: maintenance budgets that just keep climbing.

The Specs, Without the Fluff

Here’s the thing: it runs on 400V, which lines up perfectly with the machine’s existing electrical setup. So no rewiring panels. None. The active heating length is 300mm, which hits that sweet spot for preform heating—right where you need it, without overshooting. And the 2500W power? It means the heat ramps up fast, which keeps bottle quality consistent, even when the line is moving at full speed.
