Oven Upgrades

Sidel

Our ceramic reflector upgrade is a high-impact solution for improving the heating performance of older PET blow molding ovens. By replacing standard reflectors with precision-engineered ceramic plates, you can reduce IR energy use by 25% or more, while increasing effective IR exposure to preforms by up to 40%.


These ceramic materials not only reflect IR radiation but re-emit it in a medium spectrum, which aligns more efficiently with PET absorption. The result is deeper, more even heat penetration—without changing your IR lamps.

We also optimize ventilation and spindle chain pitch to further boost thermal control and profiling consistency. This upgrade brings legacy machines in line with the energy efficiency of modern systems, extending lifespan and lowering operational costs with minimal intervention.


Krones 

Unlike standard upgrades, our system uses high-quality ceramic reflectors that are designed for maximum IR efficiency, improving energy absorption while reducing waste. The upgrade achieves energy savings between 20-30%, outpacing the 10-15% range of traditional solutions.


It also includes ventilated reflector modules that help regulate lamp temperature, resulting in a longer lamp lifetime and more stable heating performance. And with a more cost-effective price point per heater box and simplified installation, it’s a future-forward investment that delivers real, measurable results.


KHS

Our ceramic IR upgrade kit for the KHS machine is a practical and high-impact solution to boost your oven's performance. Designed to replace the original reflectors with ultra-efficient ceramic modules, this upgrade brings the reflectors closer to the IR lamps (just 5-6 mm), significantly improving heat transfer to the preforms. The result? Energy savings of 20-45%, a broader process window, and a noticeable improvement in heating consistency.


Even better, the installation is fast and hassle-free - typically done in under two hours, with no mechanical modifications needed. Your existing lamp layout stays in place, and there's no need for complex adjustments​. After the upgrade, you’ll be able to reduce lamp usage or power output while still achieving optimal heating, giving you better control and efficiency in every cycle.


It’s a smart upgrade with a fast return on investment -bringing older machines up to speed with today’s energy and performance standards.


SMI

Our IR upgrade kit for SMI blow molding machines is designed to improve performance and energy efficiency using a smart combination of stainless steel reflector plates and ventilated designs. The upgraded reflector system features angled top reflectors and spring-mounted ceramic supports, enhancing IR radiation control while preventing overheating and minimizing contact with large preforms. These technical improvements open up a wider process window, offer potential energy savings, and improve temperature stability across the oven.


Thanks to the modular design, the upgrade is easy to install and adaptable for different machine setups. Whether you're dealing with small preforms or complex bottle shapes, this retrofit brings your SMI oven closer to the performance of today’s top-tier systems—without the cost of a full replacement.
