Domestic Special‑Purpose Injection Molding Machines Gain Market Share for PET Preform Production

Fueled by expansion in beverage and daily‑chemical packaging industries, demand for PET preforms keeps rising across Southeast Asia and the Middle East, bringing more orders for PET‑special injection molding machines.

In the past, high‑end multi‑cavity preform equipment largely relied on imports. After years of technical upgrading, domestic PET injection molding machines have made great progress in temperature‑control accuracy, plasticizing uniformity and rPET processing performance. They can stably work with 48‑96 cavity molds to shorten cycle time and achieve high yield rate.

Compared with imported units, domestic machines feature cost‑efficiency, fast after‑sales response and flexible customization, which are widely chosen by beverage manufacturers. Industry insiders point out that models compatible with recycled rPET will become a key competitive point. Equipment manufacturers shall further optimize plasticizing system to reduce thermal degradation and meet requirements of global sustainable packaging.
