A preform mould for water bottle has many advantages. This mould is generally used in the PET bottle manufacturing process and is installed with a hot runner system. It should have insulating plates at least 12 mm thick and be able to withstand high pressure. It must also have adequate air venting to avoid local overheating. Lastly, the slot depth should not be deeper than 0.03 mm to avoid flash.
A state-of-the-art preform mould must be constructed with the best steel and processes. Specially designed water cooling channels can be used to reduce the overall cycle time and eliminate water spots on the preforms. The Hot Runner System must be compatible with the PET preform mould and be cost-efficient and meet practical requirements.
