PET Preform Moulds

Preform molds are produced at dedicated facilities in China. Preform molds range up to 96 cavities and offer:

Productivity

• Fast cycling due to specially designed cooling circuits
• Part ejection sensors that monitor preform transfer to the take-off plate, improving cycle time
• Standard interchangeable mold components; replacement parts available within 72 hours

Reliability

• Rugged design for long life
• Auxiliary tapers that reduce mold wear by pre-aligning the mold halves prior to the engagement of the neck ring tapers
• Roller cams that actuate both the opening and closing actions on the thread splits  

Part Quality

• Lowest cavity-to-cavity weight and dimensional variation as a result of best-in-class manufacturing machines and processes
• Water hoses that are manifolded at the bottom of the mold, eliminating potential for water marks on preforms
