Effect of pet parison size on injection moulding mould design
Najiy Rizal Suriani Riza1, Aidah Jumaha2, Ummu Raihanah Hashim3, Mohd Sobri Omar4.
Injection molding is one of the most popular manufacturing processes for producing
good finishing plastic products with low cost and high volume production, especially
for the production of plastic bottles. In order to produce high quality plastic bottle
with specific size, the injection moulding mould need to be properly designed. This
study is aimed to design injection moulding mould for producing three different sizes
of Polyethylene Terephthalate (PET) parison. The actual dimensions of a commercial
bottle preform of parisan of 25g weight were measured. PET was used as
thermoplastic material because it has good strength and light weight properties. The
designing process involved two primary components; (1) Female section consists of
cavity plate as the main component and (2) male section consists of core plate as
the main component. The effect of parisan size on the mould design was evaluated.
Three different designs of female and male sections were constructed using CATIA
software based on 15g, 20g and 30g parisan weight. The designs were also
compared to the existing mould system of 25g PET parisan. It was shown that the
design of insert cavity of female section and core cavity of male section were highly
influenced by the size of the preform.
