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
