12 Cavity PET Preform Mould | Ultra-Compact Lab & Sample Hot Runner Mold | DEBODI MOULD

DEBODI MOULD presents its most compact and affordable 12 cavity PET preform mould, engineered for ultra-small batch production, laboratory R&D, sample development, and mold trial applications. This entry-level hot runner mold delivers consistent preform quality from 3g to 10g with the lowest capital investment and minimal machine clamp force requirements. An ideal solution for research institutions, PET material testing, preform prototyping, small craft bottle manufacturers, and educational facilities. Compatible with most standard injection molding machines from 80–150 tons. Fastest lead time, factory-direct pricing, and complete technical support from DEBODI MOULD.

The DEBODI MOULD 12 cavity PET preform mould is the smallest and most accessible preform mold in our product lineup. With 12 cavities per cycle, this mold is specifically designed for applications where maximum flexibility, minimum investment, and ease of operation are the primary considerations rather than high-volume output.

Why Choose 12 Cavities?

For research laboratories, prototype development, or manufacturers producing specialty small bottles, a 12 cavity preform mold offers unique and compelling advantages:

  • Absolute Minimum Capital Investment: The most affordable tooling option available from DEBODI MOULD.

  • Smallest Machine Requirement: Compatible with injection molding machines from only 80–150 tons clamp force.

  • Perfect for Prototyping: Ideal for new preform design validation, custom bottle development, and market testing.

  • Material Testing Friendly: Minimal material consumption per cycle, perfect for expensive PET variants (recycled PET, bio-PET, high-barrier PET).

  • Educational Applications: Excellent for training facilities teaching injection molding processes.

  • Fastest Delivery: Simplest construction and readily available components mean lead time of only 20–25 days.

  • Easiest Maintenance: Fewest components to maintain, simplest hot runner system.

  • Manual Handling: Light enough for one or two people to handle without overhead crane.

Key Engineering Features

  • Ultra-Compact Hot Runner System: Simplified 12-drop valve gate design with balanced melt distribution. The simplest hot runner configuration ensures reliable operation and extremely easy maintenance.

  • Optimized Cooling Design: Efficient conformal cooling channels on cores and cavities provide adequate heat extraction with typical cycle times of 14–18 seconds for most preform designs.

  • Durable Construction: Manufactured from premium DIN 1.2316 / 1.2343 stainless steel with hard chromium plating on cores and cavities for wear resistance and easy part release.

  • Wide Machine Compatibility: Standard mounting dimensions and low clamp force requirements (80–150 tons) allow installation on the widest range of small injection molding machines.

  • Highly Flexible Customization: Available with various neck finishes including PCO 1881, ALKO, Sidel, ASB, and fully customized designs. Preform weight range from 3g to 10g suits very small bottles (50ml to 1L) including cosmetic bottles, sample sizes, hotel amenities, and specialty packaging.

Quality Assurance

Each 12 cavity PET preform mould undergoes CMM dimensional inspection, pressure testing, and trial molding before shipment. We provide complete documentation including spare parts list, maintenance manual, and 12-month warranty with after-sales technical support.
