1. Reliable Plasticizing Unit for PET Processing
Our value-engineered preform machines feature specially designed PET screws with optimized L/D ratios (typically 22:1 to 24:1) that ensure proper melt quality and homogeneity essential for round bottle preforms. The plasticizing unit delivers consistent material preparation, with melting temperatures precisely controlled between 240-290°C to prevent thermal degradation while ensuring complete melting . Proper drying of PET material (to below 0.005% moisture content) is critical for quality preform production, and our machines are designed for seamless integration with standard drying equipment .
2. Robust Clamping System
The clamping unit provides stable, reliable mold closure throughout the injection cycle. With clamping forces ranging from 550kN to 1600kN (approximately 55 to 160 tons) and generous tie-bar spacing, our machines accommodate various round bottle preform mold sizes and cavity configurations . The robust construction ensures long-term reliability in continuous production environments.
3. Precision Mold Compatibility
Our competitive price machines work with standard round bottle preform molds featuring:
Multi-cavity configurations from 16 to 72 cavities depending on production requirements
Hot runner systems with individual temperature control for each nozzle, ensuring balanced filling and consistent preform quality
Spiral cooling channels with 8-12mm diameter and water flow rates of 1.5-2m/s for efficient heat extraction
Proper排气设计 with 0.01-0.02mm排气槽 to prevent trapped air defects
4. Consistent Quality for Round Bottle Applications
Our machines produce round bottle preforms with:
Neck finish tolerances within ±0.02mm, ensuring proper sealing with standard caps
Weight variation below 0.5% across cavities, guaranteeing consistent bottle quality in downstream blow molding
Crystallinity控制在15-25% , optimizing transparency and mechanical properties for round bottles
Clear, defect-free appearance without气泡,银丝纹, or白雾 that would affect bottle aesthetics
5. User-Friendly Controls
Our competitive price machines feature intuitive control systems with PLC-based operation and HMI touchscreens. Operators can easily monitor and adjust key parameters including temperature, pressure, injection speed, and cycle timing . Recipe storage capabilities enable quick changeovers between different round bottle preform designs.
6. Energy-Conscious Operation
While focused on affordability, our competitive price machines incorporate energy-saving features where practical. Many models offer compatibility with servo energy-saving systems, reducing operating costs and improving long-term value.
