Cleaning and maintenance of hot halves
Hot runner systems for PET preform production are complex, fully wired, multi-cavity devices specifically designed to create high-quality preforms with unparalleled precision, efficiency, and reliability.
Unlike conventional injection molding systems, PET hot runners are interchangeable with multiple cold parts, minimizing material waste and cycle times, and ensuring consistent product quality. These features make them the ideal solution for PET preform manufacturers.
These components implement a valve gate system and closed-loop temperature control to maximize productivity and preform quality. To maintain efficiency, it is essential to inspect, clean, and replace wear parts according to the manufacturer’s recommended procedures and intervals.
La nostra officina è stata studiata e attrezzata per poter eseguire in autonomia qualsiasi operazione su questa tipologia di canali caldi, come: pulizia termica, ricondizionamento completo (Tier 1, 2, 3), manutenzione preventiva, riparazione di emergenza e sostituzione di elementi usurati.
Our team is made up of professional mechanics and electricians with many years of experience working with various brands and designs of hot runners. This allows us to provide our customers with the best quality, competitive prices, and delivery times, ensuring consistently optimal performance. We represent a true alternative to OEMs.

Complete cold-parts spares and conversions
Thanks to our extensive experience in PET preform production and our close collaboration with highly specialized mold tooling companies, we are able to supply the following materials:
- Replacement parts for cold parts (e.g., males, cavities, flanges, end caps, neck rings, cooling tubes). Our components are identical to the originals and guaranteed;
- Conversion kits for existing PET preform molds, such as male sets, partial and complete changeovers based on the new preform to be produced;
- Complete cold parts, ideal for customers who need to produce a completely new preform and optimize productivity and quality. Purchasing a complete cold part, designed to the same construction standards as existing molds, allows for optimal results;
- Complete molds for PET preforms, essential when changing the pitch or number of cavities;
Complete hot parts, additional components to be interchanged with existing ones, recommended for efficiently managing routine and extraordinary maintenance that can require several weeks of downtime.
