In the competitive world of blow molding and rigid packaging, choosing the right preform mold is critical for balancing output, quality, and operational cost. For manufacturers specializing in wide-mouth PET containers—such as food jars, supplement pots, and tamper-evident packaging—the GTW 10-cavity PET wide-mouth preform mold represents an optimal solution for medium-to-high volume production lines.
Unlike standard beverage preforms, wide-mouth preforms require distinct neck designs, thicker walls, and specialized cooling profiles. GTW has engineered its 10-cavity mold specifically to address these challenges, ensuring:
Consistent wall thickness for uniform blow-molding results.
Stress-free neck finishes that maintain sealing integrity.
Faster cycle times thanks to optimized cooling channel design.
The 10-cavity configuration offers a "sweet spot" for many processors: higher output than 4 or 8 cavity molds, yet more manageable than 16 or 32 cavity systems. It is ideal for:
Small to medium production runs.
Just-in-time (JIT) manufacturing environments.
Facilities with injection molding machines clamping forces between 160–300 tons.
GTW utilizes conformal cooling channels and stainless-steel plates to achieve:
20–30% shorter cooling time compared to generic molds.
Reduced part warpage and shrinkage.
Higher cavitation utilization without quality loss.
Neck diameters typically range from 38 mm to 120 mm. The mold supports:
Jam jar finishes (continuous threads).
Lug-type caps for easy-open lids.
Tamper-evident band compatibility.
Made from high-grade stainless steel (e.g., S136, 2316) and heat-treated components, the GTW mold ensures:
5+ million shots between major maintenance.
Corrosion resistance for recycled PET (rPET) processing.
Interchangeability with major injection systems (Husky, Netstal, Sumitomo, etc.).
