Bottle Moulds and Machine Matching
A bottle mould is part of the production process, not a generic accessory. Bottle geometry, resin, neck finish, cavities, machine configuration and operating conditions must be evaluated together.
LIANXIN coordinates supporting mould requirements with the selected IBM-H, IBM-E, BPET ISBM or IBBM-50E process. Customer catalogue materials highlight high-precision core-rod and thread design.
Information needed for mould review
- 2D or 3D bottle drawing
- Physical bottle or reference sample
- Bottle volume, weight and dimensions
- Neck finish, cap or pump interface
- Approved resin and shrinkage information
- Required cavities and target output
- Surface, transparency and parting-line expectations
- Dimension, leak-test and closure criteria
- Intended contents and end-use validation requirements
Typical mould project stages
1. Bottle and process feasibility review
2. Machine family and mould arrangement confirmation
3. Drawing, neck and interface confirmation
4. Mould manufacturing
5. Machine-mounted trial
6. Bottle inspection against agreed criteria
7. Process adjustment and operating record
8. Acceptance and commissioning support
The controlled project specification should identify the approved drawing version, resin, cavity count, key dimensions, visual criteria, trial conditions and acceptance method. If the bottle or material changes, mould and process suitability should be reviewed again.
A mould trial does not by itself approve a package for food, pharmaceutical, chemical or another regulated use. Supporting loaders, chillers, compressors and other utilities are described separately on the auxiliary equipment page. Send bottle data for review.
