From 30 to 144 Cavities: Gutewei Customizes Large PET Preform Mold Solutions on Demand

Not every bottle production line is the same. Some manufacturers start with medium-volume lines using 30-cavity molds. Others operate high-speed injection molding machines capable of running 144-cavity tools around the clock. And many need the flexibility to scale up as demand grows.

That is why Gutewei offers custom large PET preform mold solutions covering the full range — from 30 cavities to 144 cavities — all engineered on demand to match your specific machine, preform design, and output targets.

One Supplier, Complete Cavity Coverage

30–48 Cavities: Entry to Medium Volume

Ideal for smaller bottlers, R&D lines, or regional production facilities. Gutewei 30- to 48-cavity molds offer:

  • Lower initial investment without compromising preform quality

  • Compact mold base dimensions compatible with mid-tonnage injection machines

  • Easy maintenance and fast cavity replacement

72–96 Cavities: High-Volume Production Standard

The sweet spot for most commercial water and beverage bottlers. Gutewei 72- and 96-cavity molds deliver:

  • Balanced hot runner systems with 8–12 drop configurations

  • Optimized cooling for cycle times under 9 seconds

  • Interchangeable core and cavity inserts for fast preform design changes

128–144 Cavities: Maximum Industrial Output

For large-scale PET preform manufacturers running dedicated high-tonnage presses. Gutewei 128- to 144-cavity molds feature:

  • Advanced stack mold or large-plate single-face designs

  • Precision flow balancing across all cavities (variation < 0.5%)

  • Heavy-duty guide posts and wear plates for millions of cycles

  • Compatibility with injection molding machines from 800 to 1500+ tons
