Working on increasing productivity, enhancing reliability and lowering part costs, Mold-Masters introduces new specialized PET-Series hot runner system for producing high quality PET preforms. The system is compatible with any major brand of PET-preform mold.

The company stated that the new PET-Series hot runner enables customer to fill thinner preforms (light weighting) to save resin, thanks to better HR balance and less variation in preform weight, reduction in cycle time, and a wider process window along with a reduction of AA content.

Mold-Masters achieves high performance by adopting the industry leading iFLOW Manifold Technology. The 2-piece manifold designs incorporate patented melt flow geometry, flow path options and runner shapes, allowing engineers to optimize performance catering to applications.

In addition, the company is also introducing a new PET-Series Nozzle with improved thermal profile, field replaceable heater sleeve and industry standard gate design.

PET-Series nozzles also incorporate new MasterSHIELD Technology for enhanced leakage protection between the nozzle and manifold even during cold start-up.
