PETform production facilities covers an area of 5,000 m2. All key machining and measurement activities are carried out in air conditioned rooms with strict temperature control for maximum precision. All finish machining operations are carried out on machines with sub micron accuracy levels. With comprehensive machining capability, we manufacture all stack components and mould base plates and accessories in-house, as well as all key metal hotrunner components.
All finish machining operations are carried out on machines with sub-micron accuracy levels for unmatched precision.
All finish machining operations conducted in temperature-controlled environments at 20ºC ± 1ºC for optimal precision.
Manufacturing Practices
Cores, Neck Rings, Cavities & Gate Inserts are manufactured exclusively using Bohler-Uddeholm’s ESR grade corrosion resistant martensitic stainless steel, Stavax ESR.
Stack parts are rough machined, stress relieved & vacuum hardened to 50-52 Rockwell and then high temperature tempered for ultimate toughness.
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 are maintained within ± 2 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 to ensure dimensional stability over time.
All finish sizing, drilling & boring at PETform is done using jig boring class machines, never standard CNC machining centers, for superior accuracy.
In-process gauging is utilized to eliminate errors and hold the closest tolerances throughout manufacturing.
All plates are inspected on CMMs in temperature-controlled rooms before final assembly, ensuring absolute dimensional precision.
