16 Cavity PET Preform Mould | Laboratory & Small Batch Hot Runner Mold | DEBODI MOULD

DEBODI MOULD offers a compact and cost-effective 16 cavity PET preform mould designed for laboratory testing, pilot production, small-batch manufacturing, and mold trials. This entry-level hot runner mold delivers consistent preform quality from 5g to 12g with minimal capital investment and low clamp force requirements. An ideal solution for R&D departments, universities, preform testing facilities, and small bottle manufacturers. Compatible with most standard injection molding machines from 120–180 tons. Fast lead time, factory-direct pricing, and full technical support from DEBODI MOULD.

The DEBODI MOULD 16 cavity PET preform mould is specifically designed for applications where flexibility and low investment matter more than maximum output. With 16 cavities per cycle, this mold represents the most accessible entry point into PET preform manufacturing, requiring the smallest injection molding machine and the lowest tooling investment among all DEBODI MOULD preform molds.

Why Choose 16 Cavities?

For laboratories, research institutions, small bottle manufacturers, or companies testing new preform designs, a 16 cavity preform mold offers unique advantages:

  • Minimum Capital Investment: Most affordable tooling option in DEBODI MOULD's complete preform mold range.

  • Smallest Machine Requirement: Compatible with injection molding machines from only 120–180 tons clamp force.

  • Perfect for R&D: Ideal for new material testing, preform design validation, and process development.

  • Mold Trial Friendly: Lower material consumption per cycle, reducing waste during setup and testing.

  • Quick Delivery: Simplest construction means fastest lead time (20–30 days).

  • Easy Handling: Lighter weight and compact dimensions allow manual handling without overhead cranes.

Key Engineering Features

  • Compact Hot Runner System: Simplified 16-drop valve gate design ensures balanced melt distribution with minimal maintenance requirements. Easy to clean and service.

  • Efficient Cooling Design: Optimized conformal cooling channels on cores and cavities provide sufficient heat extraction with typical cycle times of 12–16 seconds.

  • 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 (120–180 tons) allow installation on most small to mid-sized injection molding machines.

  • Flexible Customization: Available with various neck finishes including PCO 1881, ALKO, Sidel, ASB, and customized designs. Preform weight range from 5g to 12g suits small water bottles, juice shots, cosmetic bottles, and specialty containers.

Quality Assurance

Each 16 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.
