400 Ton PET Preform Injection Molding Machine
A fully automatic 400-ton PET preform injection molding machine for 0.5L-2L mineral water bottle preforms. The 400-ton clamp holds a multi-cavity hot-runner mould closed against injection pressure to mould many preforms per shot.
Overview
Rated at 400 tons of clamping force, this machine keeps a multi-cavity hot-runner mould sealed under high injection pressure, which is what lets it fill many PET preform cavities in one cycle for 0.5L-2L water bottles. The hot runner feeds each cavity evenly so preform weight and neck finish stay uniform, and the servo or electric drive trims energy across rapid preform cycling. Fully automatic from injection through take-out, the machine pairs with AMAN hot-runner moulds sized to the preform and bottle.
Key features
- 400-ton clamp holds high-cavitation moulds closed

One machine covers a range of sizes: you only change the mould to make a different product. The machine must be selected according to the LARGEST product you plan to make — running a small product on a large machine is possible, but you lose some efficiency and some material. Send us your smallest and your largest product (size and weight) and we will confirm whether one machine is enough.
Order the PET preform mould with this machine and we make it in our own workshop, then ship machine and mould as one set, tested and tuned together. The mould itself takes 40–60 days from approved drawings. Send your part drawing and we quote the machine together with the mould.
Each machine is configured to your container; the final specification is written into your quotation.
