Description

Gutewei is a professional manufacturer dedicated to producing high-quality PET preform molds for the global bottling industry. We are pleased to present our Water Bottle Preform PET Mold series, specifically engineered for the production of drinking water bottle preforms.

Our water bottle preform molds are designed with the unique requirements of the water industry in mind – delivering consistent quality, high production efficiency, and reliable performance for both still and sparkling water applications.

Why Choose Gutewei for Water Bottle Preform Molds?

Optimized for Water Applications
Water bottle preforms require specific design considerations including appropriate weight distribution, neck finish precision, and material flow characteristics. Our molds are engineered to produce preforms that stretch uniformly during blow molding, resulting in bottles with excellent clarity and consistent wall thickness.

Multiple Cavity Options
We offer a complete range of cavity configurations to match your production volume requirements:

  • 24 cavity – For small-scale production or specialty bottles

  • 32 cavity – Ideal for growing businesses

  • 48 cavity – Balanced output for medium volume

  • 64 cavity – High efficiency for larger operations

  • 72 cavity – Maximum output for mass production

  • 96 cavity – Ultra-high cavitation for industrial scale

Precision Neck Finishes
Our molds produce preforms with perfectly formed neck finishes that ensure reliable capping and sealing. Available options include:

  • PCO 1810 – Industry standard for still water

  • PCO 1881 – Lightweight design for CSD and water

  • 28mm and 38mm – Various closure compatibility

  • Custom neck finishes to your specifications

Technical Features:

Superior Steel Quality
All our water bottle preform molds are constructed from premium materials:

  • Cavities and cores: S136 stainless steel (48-52 HRC)

  • Mold base: 2738 or 2311 pre-hardened steel

  • Neck rings: 1.2344 ESR with heat treatment

Advanced Cooling Technology
Engineered cooling systems with baffle and bubbler designs ensure uniform temperature distribution across all cavities, reducing cycle times and preventing defects common in water bottle preforms such as haze or crystallization.

Precision Hot Runner Systems
Compatible with leading hot runner brands including Husky, Mold-Masters, Yudo, and Sino, ensuring balanced melt flow and consistent preform quality shot after shot.

Quick-Change Design
Interchangeable cavity and core inserts allow for rapid maintenance and reduced downtime, keeping your production running smoothly.

  • We exclusively use premium corrosion-resistant stainless steels such as Assab S136 (Sweden) and Groditz M340 (Germany). Combined with deep vacuum nitriding, surface hardness exceeds HV1000°, with mirror polishing up to Ra≤0.015μm. We guarantee a mold life of over 3 million shots.
  • Standardized with our in-house developed pneumatic valve gate hot runner system. Multi-zone independent temperature control keeps fluctuation ≤±1℃, preventing material degradation. The gate is automatically sealed after injection, creating a "gate-cut-free" preform that requires no manual trimming — achieving true zero-waste production.
  • Our 3D conformal cooling channels, designed based on ANSYS simulation, eliminate hot spots and increase cooling efficiency by over 30%. By optimizing the mold structure and injection process, we achieve an injection cycle time of under 10 seconds, significantly boosting your production capacity.
  • Perfectly compatible with major global injection molding machine brands: HUSKY, NETSTAL, SACMI, KRONES, DEMAG, and all major Chinese manufacturers. Standard interface design for plug-and-play operation.
