DEBODI MOULD offers its smallest and most flexible 8 cavity PET preform mould, engineered for ultra-low volume production, laboratory R&D, prototype development, and educational training. This mini hot runner mold delivers consistent preform quality from 3g to 8g with the absolute minimum capital investment and lowest clamp force requirements available. An ideal solution for research institutions, PET material testing laboratories, preform prototyping, craft bottle designers, technical schools, and specialty packaging developers. Compatible with most small injection molding machines from 60–120 tons. Fastest lead time, most affordable pricing, and complete technical support from DEBODI MOULD.

The DEBODI MOULD 8 cavity PET preform mould is the most compact and accessible preform mold in our entire product lineup. With only 8 cavities per cycle, this mold is purpose-built for applications where flexibility, affordability, and ease of operation take priority over production volume. It represents the perfect entry point into PET preform manufacturing for laboratories, educational institutions, and specialty product developers.

Why Choose 8 Cavities?

For researchers, educators, or manufacturers creating unique specialty bottles, an 8 cavity preform mold offers exceptional advantages:

  • Absolute Lowest Capital Investment: The most budget-friendly tooling option from DEBODI MOULD, ideal for tight budgets.

  • Smallest Machine Requirement: Compatible with injection molding machines from only 60–120 tons clamp force.

  • Perfect for Research & Development: Ideal for new preform geometry validation, PET formulation testing, and process parameter optimization.

  • Minimal Material Consumption: Extremely low material waste per cycle, perfect for expensive experimental PET grades including rPET, bio-PET, and high-barrier materials.

  • Educational Excellence: Excellent for technical schools and training centers teaching injection molding fundamentals.

  • Prototype Specialists: Perfect for custom bottle designers needing physical samples for client presentations.

  • Fastest Delivery Available: Simplest construction means lead time of only 18–22 days.

  • Simplest Maintenance: Minimal components, easiest hot runner access and cleaning.

  • Tool-Free Handling: Light enough for single-person manual handling.

Key Engineering Features

  • Ultra-Compact Hot Runner System: Simplified 8-drop valve gate design with balanced melt distribution. The simplest hot runner configuration DEBODI MOULD offers, ensuring maximum reliability and easiest maintenance.

  • Effective Cooling Design: Optimized conformal cooling channels on cores and cavities provide sufficient heat extraction with typical cycle times of 15–20 seconds.

  • Quality 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.

  • Broad Machine Compatibility: Standard mounting dimensions and low clamp force requirements (60–120 tons) allow installation on the widest range of small injection molding machines.

  • Maximum Customization Flexibility: Available with various neck finishes including PCO 1881, ALKO, Sidel, ASB, cosmetic threads, and fully customized designs. Preform weight range from 3g to 8g suits very small bottles (30ml to 800ml).

Quality Assurance

Each 8 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.
