PETform TechnologiesHigh Performance Preform Moulds & Hotrunners

• Cores, Neck Rings, Cavities & Gate Inserts are manufactured exclusively using Deutsche Edelstahlwerke (DEW) or Bohler-Uddeholm’s ESR grade Corrosion resistant martensitic stainless steel steel.
• Stack parts are rough machined, stress relieved & vacuum hardened to 50-52 Rockwell.
• Final dimensions are machined only after hardening to nullify any changes in dimensions during hardening.
• All mating surfaces (that experience wear) are cylindrical / surface ground for high precision and long life.
• Manufacturing is conducted in a temperature controlled room.
• Components are measured in-process by work-probing systems.
• Component are measured post process by highly accurate measuring instruments & gauges in a temperature controlled (standard) room.
• Tolerances on critical dimensions is maintained within +/- 3 microns.

• Mould base plates are manufactured from DEW or Bohler Uddeholm’s 1.2085 pre hardened corrosion resistant stainless steel with hardness of 30-34 Rockwell.
• Mould base plates, hot runner manifold & backing plates are rough machined and stress relieved before finish machining. This is to ensure that the dimensions of the plates do not change over time.
• At PETform, finish sizing, drilling & boring is done by jig boring class machines* only and never general precision CNC machining centers.
• In process gauging is used for eliminating errors and holding close tolerances.
• All plates are inspected on CMMs in temperature controlled (standard) rooms before assembly.
