We build multi-cavity PET preform moulds for efficient, consistent packaging production - water, beverage, edible-oil and personal-care formats. Valve-gate hot runner layouts, balanced cavitation and stable cooling are engineered in from the DFM stage, so cavity-to-cavity consistency holds in mass production.
Lead Time: T1 Samples in 30-45 Days
Simple single-cavity tools run 30-35 days to T1; multi-cavity preform moulds with valve-gate hot runners run 40-45 days. You get a firm schedule in the quotation, with DFM feedback before steel is cut.
Mould Steels We Run
Pre-hardened: P20, 738H (1.2738), 1.2311, 1.2312. Through-hardened: H13 (1.2344) at 52-54 HRC for long-run cavities and cores. High-gloss and corrosion-resistant: S136 (1.2083 ESR) and NAK80. Standard mould base S45C; 2085 stainless base for anti-rust requirements.
MOQ and Production Flexibility
Moulds: 1 set minimum. Preforms and moulded parts: from 1,000-1,500-piece pilot runs up to monthly capacity planning in the millions.
Sample Policy
T1 machine time and basic material cost are included in the mould price - no separate trial fee. Samples ship by international courier (DHL/FedEx) at the customer cost (EXW) or as a separately quoted line. Need preform samples before the tool is cut? 3D-printed prototypes are about USD 125 per set, delivered in around 5 days, 100% prepaid.
Quality Control You Can Verify
Every tool passes a fixed inspection chain: steel hardness verification, electrode measurement, core and cavity dimension measurement, then final sample measurement. Machining-only mould inserts ship with a complete CMM dimension report, 100% verified against your 3D drawing tolerances. In-house metrology: CMM (Serein, Tesa), 2D projector, hardness testers, height gauges.
Warranty and After-Sales
300,000-shot mould life warranty under normal operation and regular maintenance. Keep the mould running in our plant and daily maintenance is free for the life of the tool. If you move the mould out, settle the balance and the transfer fee, and production risk and maintenance transfer to your side.
Equipment and In-House Trial
High-speed CNC machining centres (Makino, Charmilles) with 4- and 5-axis capability, slow wire-cut EDM (WEDM-LS), precision EDM and optical curve grinding. In-house trial and small-batch production on Haitian presses from 80T to 450T - so you see real preforms from the real tool before shipment.
