48 Cavity PET Preform Mould | High-Efficiency Hot Runner Mold | DEBODI MOULD
DEBODI MOULD offers a high-performance 48 cavity PET preform mould engineered for reliable and cost-effective bottle preform production. This balanced hot runner mold delivers consistent preform quality from 5g to 25g with optimized cycle times. An ideal solution for mid-to-high volume manufacturers seeking lower initial investment compared to 64 or 72 cavity molds while maintaining excellent output efficiency. Compatible with Husky, Netstal, Engel, Haitian and all standard injection molding machines. Factory price, quick lead time, and full technical support from DEBODI MOULD.
The DEBODI MOULD 48 cavity PET preform mould is designed for manufacturers who need a balance between high output and moderate capital investment. With 48 cavities per cycle, this mold provides substantial daily production capacity while offering easier maintenance and faster changeover compared to higher-cavity molds. Each mold is precision-engineered with a fully balanced hot runner system and efficient conformal cooling to ensure uniform preform quality across all cavities.
Why Choose 48 Cavities?
For many mid-sized bottle producers, a 48 cavity preform mold represents the sweet spot. It offers significantly higher output than 32 or 24 cavity molds but requires a smaller injection molding machine and lower tooling investment than 64 or 72 cavity systems. This makes it an ideal choice for companies scaling up production without committing to the largest machine platforms.
Key Engineering Features
Balanced Hot Runner System: Precision valve gate design with symmetrical flow paths ensures identical filling, packing, and cooling across all 48 cavities, resulting in consistent preform weight and dimensions.
Efficient Conformal Cooling: Strategically designed cooling channels on cores and cavities minimize cycle times while preventing warpage or sink marks, even for thicker preform designs.
Durable Construction: Manufactured from premium DIN 1.2316 / 1.2343 stainless steel with hard chromium plating on cores and cavities for excellent wear resistance and easy part release.
Universal Compatibility: Standard mounting dimensions and nozzle spacing allow easy installation on most injection molding machines from Husky, Netstal, Engel, Sumitomo, Haitian, Chen Hsong, and others.
Flexible Customization: Available with various neck finishes (PCO 1881, ALKO, Sidel, ASB) and preform weight ranges (5g–25g) to suit water, juice, edible oil, and carbonated soft drink applications.
Quality Assurance
Each 48 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.
