PET preform Mould design:

Typically, in order to fulfill the requirements for designing a PET preform Mould for production, a preformmould must have functional strength, possess sales appeal, be competitively priced, and fulfill practical characteristics.

It is important to design a preform mould so that the most appropriate steel and processes will be utilized in order to make it economically feasible for the manufacturer to manufacture the PET preforms in this way.

Our Preform mould features as follows:

• Cooling Channel set-up

An especially designed set-up of water cooling channels combined with special finishing was able to reduce the overall cycle time. Each particular water channel was specially processed to minimize the chance of jamming.

• Correction Technique for Core Off-Centered

It is possible to make a difference in preform’s wall thickness of less than 0.006 mm by utilizing the Off-Center Correction Technique. The application of this system does not affect the longevity of the PET mould throughout its useful life;

• Pin-valve System

Using a Pin-valve type of Hot Runner System for the PET preform mold, this type of Hot Runner System is effective in reducing processing times, reducing part wear & tear and lowering gate trim costs, and at the same time cutting electricity consumption.

• Coil Heating

The Dual Heating and Cooling system is able to ensure that the result of heating and cooling is excellent and quality control is reliable.Heat coils keep the nozzles at a constant temperature through the full cycle time.Moreover, the Heater System is utilized to increase the heating capacity of the hot-runner plate with long life as well as effectiveness.We imported the heating band for the preform mould from Germany.

• Technique of self-locking

Our PET preform mould incorporates world state-of-the-art bi-axls insert alignment and self-lock system in line with global best practices.

PET injection moulding processing introduction

PET, also called poly ethylene terephthalate, is also known as polyester.At present, the most used kind is PET-GF; it is mainly for bottle PET preform manufacturing.

The rheological property of PET is better in molten state, and the pressure effect on the viscosity is greater than that of temperature.

Therefore, it is mainly to change the fluidity of the melt by changing the pressure.

1.  plastic processing .due to pet macromolecules containing grease, it is hydrophilic. Pellets in high temperature water are more sensitive, the much moisture will decrease the molecular weight of pet, which would lead to poor color and brittle parts.
2.  Dry; the drying temperature is 150 degrees, time more than 4 hours. And generally it is 170 degrees, about 3-4 hours. Whether the material is completely dry can be tested by shot to air. Recycled material ratio is generally not more than 25%, and also the reground material should be completely dry.
3.  injection moulding machine .due to the shorter stable time after melting and high melting point, it is necessary to use the injection machine with more multi-step temperature control and less plasticizing friction heat system .and all weight(products and runner) is not less than 2 / 3 of machine injection volume .
4.  PET preform mould and its gate design. Generally, PET bottle preform mould is installed with hot runner system. There should have insulation plates (about 12 mm thickness) between the PET preform mould and injection moulding machine, and the heat insulation plate can withstand high pressure. Air venting must be sufficient to avoid local overheating or fragmentation, but the depth of the slot is generally not more than 0.03 mm, otherwise it is easy to invite flash.
5.  melt temperature .it is 270-295 degrees Celsius by shot to air, PET-GF can be set to 290-315.
6.  injection speed. The fast shot can prevent premature injection solidification. But too fast will lead to high shear rate and the brittle products. Shot is usually completed within 4 seconds.
7.  back pressure. The possible low back pressure is a better way to avoid wear. Generally the back pressure is not more than 100 bar.
8.  stay time and temperature. Stay time shouldn’t be long to prevent the decline of molecular weight, and the temperature should avoid more than 300 degrees Celsius possibly.

If the down time is less than 15 minutes, shot to air is OK; But if over 15 minutes, it should use PE to clean barrel, and the barrel temperature decrease to PE temperature.

Note: recycled materials cannot be added much, otherwise it easy to produce poor quality products.

If the mould temperature or material temperature is not proper, it is easy to produce “opaque” pet preform.

The low mould temperature and the fast cooling rate would achieve POOR transparent PET preform.
